Pref1x Project[1] is the debut mixtape of Sacramento, California rapper, PREF1X. The mixtape consists of 20 tracks, some featuring rapper Kid A.Y and singer Katie Martin, both signed to the record company and publisher of the mixtape, Powell Productions.

Writing and recording

edit

Pref1x began writing the mixtape in early 2009 with Kid A.Y, originally in a group together, having recorded the two songs "Long Gone" and "A Sample of Perfection".[2] Pref1x later went on to record his most famous single called "Michael Jackson", which is a tribute to the deceased pop singer. Pref1x began to work on the mixtape solo, and added the work he did with Kid A.Y to the mixtape as a solo work. The mixtape was recorded at 17 Hertz Studios in California.
