Extra Prolific was an American alternative hip hop duo formally signed to Jive Records. The duo composed of rapper Duane "Snupe" Lee and producer/DJ Michael "Mike G" Getmore and was a subgroup of the rap collective Hieroglyphics.[1]

Extra Prolific was the Hieroglyphics' second group to splinter from the collective after the Souls of Mischief and like them, signed a deal with Jive Records. The duo recorded their debut album Like It Should Be which was released in late in 1994. The album spawned a minor hit in "Brown Sugar". Mike G left the group while Snupe kept the Extra Prolific name and continued to release music under the name into 1998.

Snupe released a new album Like It's Supposed To Be under the Extra Prolific name in March 2020.[2]
