"North Star" is Ezekiel Tha Prophet 2nd full length album produced by Ruqone. Ezekiel Tha Prophet sat down with Stereotype to talk about the album.

Who is this album for?

This album is for the Hip Hop heads, hard workers and the dreamers.

What inspired the title?

The album cover. When I saw the photo, I felt like I can make an album to the vibe it gave me. The logo you see is the logo to my label North Star Society. The North Star to me it means a path to enlightenment, path to freedom and path to new lands. This album was a whole different territory. I worked with a different producer and rapped about new experiences I've had since my Red Line Journals album back in 2019.

Where did you record this album?

I mixed, recorded and arranged the songs at home. I recorded "Curtains Closing" in Doc Da Mindbenda's studio and he also mastered the album.

What is your favorite track? Why?

"Watch Your Step" is my favorite track. It's my favorite track because I'm heavily influenced by Wu-Tang Clan. The beat gave me some 36 Chambers vibes and I added the Inspectah Deck line from "Bring Da Ruckus" to the chorus. That song hits like a Wu Tang song would and I'm proud of that one.

What is your favorite line from the album?

"Battling these demons with a smile on my face" from "Survive in The Jungle".

Who helped make this album what it is? Writers, Producers, Muses, Support System, Etc

Ruqone on the beats, Luke Cage on the skits, Tails The Prince, Ms. Outlaw, Trripple Threat, F-Dott, & D. Brash on the features. DJ Spre on the cuts, Doc Da Mindbenda for the mastering, Jasmine Flores for the photography, Trevor Lang on the mockups and guidance. Can't forget about the day one fans and new fans who've been following me since the start. I truly appreciate you all.

If you could remix any song and feature any artist, what song would it be and who would you feature on it?

I haven't thought about that. But if I could I'd have Inspectah Deck on "Watch Your Step". And if I were to choose a producer to remix the whole thing, I'd choose Big Ghost LTD. It'll be a huge goal to work with him.

What's your dream?

To be able to just exist, create and inspire others.

What is some advice you would give to someone with a dream?

Even when goings are tough, you keep at it no matter what. You never know who's paying attention.
