MC Jabazz, called Yasin Filiz, was born 1988 in Liestal/BL (Switzerland). Now he lives in Bilten/GL, where he moved to in 1994. Since he was a child music has been one of the most important things in his life. The first time he encountered turkish rap was in 1995 because of Cartel. From this day on he's kept an eye on the turkish rap-scene.The more time Yasin spent with hip-hop, the more he fell in love with it, because it left so much space for his creativity. When he was 13 he decided to start working as a B-Boy. So from 2001-2003 he was a breakdancer in a crew of 5 people. Two years later they split up and so Yasin started to rap on the streets, which impressed many people and so he started looking for a possibility to advance his talent. With some other homies he's rented a room and then they've spent their whole freetime freestyling and writing lyrics. But that's not enough, also on Open Mics Jabazz has often be seen. Just for fun he entered some competitions to be present on stage and although nobody was able to understand his turkish lyrics, he never dropped out within the first round. Later he became more famous and had some local and also national gigs.After a gig in Biel/BE he met Vaheem(Intackt) who wanted him to represent himself on his mixtape "'Orient Express'" as a feature guest. 2006 health reasons forced him to take a break and after that he recorded the song "Yallah" with Shai on his album "'Us eigener Kraft" (Dramatic Soul).For Jabazz it's important to express his feelings and emotions with music and not to build up a faked image.
