From Rebecca Allen at the North Platte Telegraph:

"North Platte now has a rap artist of its own to listen to and enjoy, with the release of "Boss Status" by Justin Place, also known as "Da Profit." The CD lives up to its name. With a rhythm and a bass to boot, the rap artist gives his all in his first album. From beginning to end the album continues to thump in your head. Bass boxes will get a workout from this album.
Place, 20, moved here five years ago from Sacramento. He attended North Platte High School. On Nov. 4, 2005, "Boss Status" became available for purchase at the Smoker Outlet at Jeffers and Rodeo Road for $5.
"My inspiration for making a rap album was the fact that no one else was doing it in North Platte," Place said.
The album was made at his home. Place said "it took a lot of time and cutting in two months." Most of the album was recorded here in North Platte at Place's home, with the help of his brother. The computer was set up in the kitchen as he rapped in the closet. "Sounds better than being in a sound-proof booth."
