[edit] About
Although, Profound Intent is the principal recording artist of South Capitol Recordings, Native American Rapper & Songwriter LaPret, born June 19, 1989 has served as major competition to the group and other label artists. When he’s working with the group, he’s the lead, and when he’s working with his label mates he’s the dominate force behind the collaboration, as Chief Songwriter, Music Producer or Executive Producer.
He has garnered Profound Intent Billboard eligibility, thus benefiting all other artist signed with South Capitol. He has also earned the label new distribution contracts and reworked the way artist are signed. In 2010 he will take over the label as its, official President/CEO.
Working as an independent recording artist, he successfully released many solo singles. In 2007 ASCAP elected him as a Writer and Publisher for his work with Profound Intent. He earned the 2007 Reviewers Picks from Garageband for Best Lyrics in Funk for Work It". In 2009, he released the singles Got the Skillz and Another Day.
