What do two Massachusetts-bred men, a college professor and a postal worker at that, possibly have in common apart from a shared home state? In the case of Professor Lyrical and Quokane, they both can rap. Coming together like Voltron as ProQuo, the MA-based duo’s hip-hop webcast “The ProQuo Show” has culminated into a full-fledged album. Inspired by the isolation induced by the pandemic, the duo has decided to showcase their spin on boom-bap (which they’ve dubbed “new bap”) and enlisted producers who they feel go hand-in-hand with that style. To differentiate, Jay “Quokane” Cruz has a gravelly voice which sounds well-honed from street battles. Pro is unmistakably Massachusetts.
