Pryslezz started rhyming in Youngstown, Ohio, around 1997. He joined his first group in 1998. After that group fell apart at the end of 1998, Pryslezz and another member from the fallen group, Ubnoxus, came together to form 2Deep. This name was chosen for two reasons. The first is obvious. There are only two of them. The second is because they felt that they rhymed with a style and at a level "too deep" to be compared with the average emcee. In the summer of 1999, 2Deep joined Ma3d Kru. They can be found on several Ma3d Kru songs, but as of now there hasn't been an album released. Pryslezz began to work solo when Ubnoxus graduated from high school in 2000, a year before him, and went to the University of Cincinnati. Pryslezz continued to work with Ma3d Kru as well as build a name for himself as a solo artist in Youngstown until he graduated from high school in 2001, and went to the University of Cincinnati. At the University of Cincinnati 2Deep started working together again, but their reunion was cut short when Ubnoxus left Cincinnati and returned to Youngstown the winter of 2001. In the autumn of 2002, Pryslezz came in contact with Ill Poetic and Zone Ill of Definition, a Cincinnati underground Hip-Hop group. With the aid of Definition, he started the creation of his first solo album titled, "- A Search 4 Peace-". By the end of 2002, Pryslezz joined a crew with a few emcees that he had grown close to while in Cincinnati. This crew is called "All Ranges of Thought (A.R.T.)". It is made up of Pryslezz, Definition, Prose, Huntor Prey, and Phaize II.

Since 2002, Pryslezz has performed, and free styled at several clubs and events in Cincinnati, Youngstown, and Columbus. His album -A Search 4 Peace- is scheduled to be released in Cincinnati on March 19th, 2003. He is also currently working on scheduling performances in cities such as Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Dayton, Louisville, Detroit, and Chicago.
