It's safe to say that the AYTO Season 4 cast is the most musically talented MTV cast that we've had in recent memory. There was not one but five people of that cast who have or do music: the one we focused on here last year, Francesca recently released a new EP, while Tori, Gio and Asaf have done some work too. And we can't forget that Kaylen appeared in a music video featuring 2000's star Sammie. And then, there's the one of our focus here, who we saw hanging out in the VIP section of this week's first half of The Challenge XXX reunion as Tori faced the music in her latest relationship gone bad in Derrick H. from Season 5.

The very first person we featured from that Beam Team on here back in May 2016 was Prosper/"P.Muna" when he got to hang out with Rob Kardashian after the socialite announced he was gonna become a married dad with Blac Chyna and before that came crashing down with him literally breaking the Internet earlier this summer. For Prosper, him hanging out with a member of the first family of reality TV was just the start of big things for him.

   He came onto the season as a former college football player having played in his hometown of Albany, NY, but afterwards turned his attention to music. There, he found that he was brainwashed by the lavish hip-hop lifestyle and its emphasis on girls and money. On the season itself, he and Tori were put into the Truth Booth, emerged a no-match in that first week, and while everyone else was being involved in the drama he was in the background for most of the season... eventually going into the Truth Booth and being a late match en route to $750K.

   With being a personal trainer on the side and perhaps eager to follow Tori into Challenge world, music is where Prosper's true passion lies, in his moniker P.MUNA. Back early on, he was one of the first to get to know a Pittsburgh rapper named Mac Miller, who has gone on to big things since they met up backstage at an event in the New York State capital in 2011. Recently, he talked to Hype Magazine about his plans for 2018, with him having his eyes on making it big: "I have dreams that I'm destined to achieve so I'm working as hard as possible to make it happen. I want to be known as the best at what I do. I make music. I want to make music that touches people... I want to make relatable music for people in the struggle."
   The title of P.MUNA's latest album takes into account the year he was born and, as what we have seen in an MTV show that just wrapped up this past week, of the dope decade of the 90's. Prosper says of his new album, "1991 is like my coming out party. It’s a feeling of growing up in the 90s before social media. I came of age still passing notes but was young enough to adapt to technology when it came. It was a more genuine time because we were kids just living."

Below are two of his tracks from YouTube...

And earlier this summer, P.MUNA dropped the track "Vice City," giving ode to the vibrant lifestyle of Miami and the famous 1980's show set during South Florida's rise to prominence from a retirement and tourism haven into the great city and vibe it has today... girls and drugs included. Fellow Season 4 castmate Giovanni also appears on the joint, which he adds via Vents Magazine, "Miami is a very sexy town, and you can lose your way if u don’t know what you want."
