“Not4Prophet comes to bring relief, to let you, me, all thinking people know, we are not alone”  - Nikki Giovanni

Prophet aka Not4Prophet (aka Alano P. Baez), is a Latin Soul sonero, Hip Hop emcee, Punk protest singer, seditious songwriter, graffiti vandal, political playwright, actor, director, poet and/or barrio bard, a committed community agitator and a revolutionary teacher/co-creator of knowledge.

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico and raised in the (Boogie Down) Bronx, East (Spanish) Harlem aka El Barrio, and the Lower East Side/Loisaida, in New York City, Prophet’s first medium of art was graffiti writing in the streets, then poetry on paper followed and finally rhymes on a microphone.

As former lead singer of the iconic "puerto punk" band RICANSTRUCTION, emcee of agitrap group X-VANDALS (along with Public Enemy's DJ Johnny Juice), and current cantante for the salsabotuers, ABRAZOS ARMY, Prophet is respected as an anti-corporate avenger for his refusal to work with corporate record labels in accordance with his staunch punk ethics and Malcolm X' "No Sell Out!" credo.

Prophet aka Not4Prophet is a longtime warrior and advocate for Puerto Rican/Borikua decolonization, self determination, autonomy and liberation by any means necessary.
