Mr. Collipark Talks Hit Records, Co-Signs Dallas’ Treal Lee and Prince Rick (BLOG)

(AllHipHop News) AllHipHop recently caught up with Mr. Collipark and Dallas duo Treal Lee and Prince Rick, who are signed to Mr. Collipark’s Atlanta based label, Collipark Music.

While making an appearance at Kiki J’s "Swag Sunday" radio show on Dallas’ K104, Collipark and the duo broke down their plans for breaking the Dallas group, which has received over well over 10 million view in combined YouTube video plays.

“First of all they have to have some personality and they cant just have a hot record and when I saw them perform on top of that I could tell that they were a real act,” Mr. Collipark told AllHipHop.com.

“We still humble, still grinding,” Prince Rick added. “We in this like brand new, still hittin the hood clubs and doing what we do. We still gotta be Triple D all the way,” Treal Lee added.

The duo's latest song “Throwed Off (F**k Everybody)” has caught on in several major markets in the U.S., especially since Lil’ Wayne took the instrumental and rapped on it, as part of his most recent mixtape project “Sorry For the Wait.”

He also gave mention of the group on his verse on DJ Khaled’s song “I’m On One.”

“We were just happy like dang, we didn’t think of it like stealing or nothing. We were like, ‘Yes Wayne, thank you! Please help us out!” a joking Treal Lee said about Wayne’s verse on their hit song. “That was exciting, everyone in Dallas is waiting to see who’s gonna get on in Dallas and we the same way. It ain’t about Treal Lee and Prince Rick, its anyone in Dallas."

Their stop at the station was part of a promotional tour of what Mr. Collipark calls the “Chitlin Circuit," in reference to the historically black circuit of independent radio stations, clubs and other outlets for musicians.

“Treal Lee and Prince Rick got signed in the same era when all the other artists got signed a few years ago, when all the executives came down to Dallas to buy artists up and now everyone is gone,” Collipark said in the exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com.

“Treal Lee and Prince Rick are the only ones standing after the aftermath of all that era and that’s something to be said because we are independent," Mr. Collipark explained. "I believe in these guys, they are an act with talent.”
