Prasperity Project

Prakazrel Samuel Michel, known as Pras, is a Grammy Award-winning Haitian-American rapper, actor, film producer, and founder of the hip hop trio The Fugees, considered one of the most influential groups of the 1990s for their album The Score. Pras cultivated an early interest in music. When he was fifteen, Pras met Lauryn Hill. In 1988, Pras introduced Lauryn to Wyclef Jean. Pras Michel, Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill began to rehearse under the kindly guidance of Kool and the Gang's producer, Ronald Khalis Bell, and subsequently they formed a musical group called The Rap Translators in 1989 (also known as Tranzlator Crew).

In 2006, Pras created "Skid Row", a hard-hitting documentary account of his nine-day experience posing as a homeless person living in downtown Los Angeles. Using a hidden camera, Pras captured the devastating reality of homelessness, with first-person stories that are heart-rending and vivid. Skid Row was released in August 2007. www.skidrowthemovie.com

The experience of living on the street inspired Pras to launch PrAsperity project in May of 2007. PrAsperity project is a non-profit organization that jump-starts awareness and solutions for intractable problems affecting the human condition. The organization takes on humanity "projects" as distinct crusades that need attention, working on behalf of established community groups to inject energy and progress towards issues ranging from homelessness to social injustice.

Forthcoming is the trailer for Pras's mission to Somalia to expose and profile the Somalian pirates. Pras is embedded with these pirates to shed better light on the mentality of the pirating of ships.
