Item Description:[RARE HAND-SIGNED: Prof The Sampler Signed CD & Album Cover Framed Display]Dive into the eclectic vibes of Minneapolis hip-hop with this signed edition of Prof’s 2011 sampler album The Sampler, a career-spanning compilation that showcases his pre-Rhymesayers evolution through a treasure trove of fan-favorite tracks and rare cuts. Born Jacob Anderson in 1983, Prof grew up in the Twin Cities, blending rap, rock, funk, and comedy into a one-man spectacle that earned him spots opening for Atmosphere and a dedicated underground following. Released independently in a cardboard sleeve before his major label pivot, this 15-track retrospective pulls from EPs like King Gampo (2011) and KVP Vol. 3 (2012), featuring bangers such as “New Kid” (with Yelawolf), “James Bong Blimp” (with Riff Raff), “Broadcasting” (with P.O.S.), and “Yeah Buddy”—a mix of high-energy anthems, clever wordplay, and party starters that highlight his self-production skills and charismatic flow. A gateway for newcomers and a nostalgia hit for OGs, it captures Prof’s rise from local legend to national buzz, paving the way for full-lengths like Liability (2015). Housed in a sleek black frame (12" x 6") with a glass front, this display pairs the signed album cover—its sepia-toned, vintage poster aesthetic—with the signed CD itself, ready to hang as a collector’s centerpiece for indie rap fans.Authentication & Provenance: Sourced from a smoke- and pet-free collector's estate—handled with care and stored flat in the frame to maintain condition.Why This Item?
