Prince Hunt


I was born on March 6, 1988 and I’m 17 years old. I attend St. Francis Prep high School and I’m going into my senior year. I want to attend Hampton University. I play basketball. Dwayne Wade from the Miami Heat is my favorite basketball player. He’s the truth. He can’t be stopped.

I like to go to the movies, go to parties and chill with my homies. I go to parties just about every week with my cousin, who’s a DJ. Every now and then, I might get on and start DJing. When I get older I want to do something in the music business or become a famous actor. Look out for me!
Winter 2006

Interesting Fact: I collect jerseys and Jordan sneakers. I don’t let them get old and dirty so they could be worth something in the future.
