Prodigy has signed actor Rick Gonzalez, also known by his Rap name Realm Reality, to Infamous Records.
According to MTV News, Gonzalez becomes the first artist signed to the imprint, which is distributed through Sony RED. Best known for roles in Coach Carter, Old School and War of the Worlds, Gonzalez explained that he’s been rapping since 1998 and that he’s able to function in both the music and acting spheres.
“My passion for Hip Hop, I’m from Bushwick, Brooklyn. It’s the pulse of my neighborhood,” he said. “It was always there, and I’m proud to say that my passion for acting was there as well. I’m blessed to have that career. I understand how difficult it is to make it as an actor and to do music is no different.”
Prodigy praised the 33-year-old, stating that he’s self-made and knows how to navigate the Rap world. “The fact that Realm was also in Hollywood doing his thing with movies and all of that, it only helps. A lot of people know his face. It’s two different business, it’s two different worlds, but at the same time, he’s a product. I’m a product. We out here selling what we do to the world.”
