There have been many light skinned artist in the underground scene to become noticed and lyrically defined. All Hip Hop MC's have great stories to tell. Many even become Hip Hop Icons and role models to our children and our teenage youth around the world. Born in Harlem NY,25 years ago young JoeyBattz a.k.a Joseph Muniz was a child destined for great achievements. Battz was raised on Long Island in the town of Central Islip. After loosing his parents at a young age, Battz keeps his promise to them, to never give up on his dreams. Battz is a high school graduate and a extremely focused artist. A few years later, Battz had a beautiful baby boy named Matthew, giving him all the more reason to never give up, untill the unthinkable happend. Joey was hit by a flatbed tow truck in the beginning of 2006. He almost lost his life early that evening. But God has other plans for Battz, so Joey kept it moving and recovered better than expected. With his second chance at life, Battz found strength to build an ultimate hip hop movement conjoining his label ShookDown Entertainment, with DistantWorld Records. Battz has signed his first artist and great friend, Bravo The Vulgar Bastard. Together Battz and Bravo make powerful hits and create many hood remix's. Joey Battz is a Puerto Rican/German lyricist who has one of the most distinctive voices to come along in a while. His uncanny ability to switch his voice from Battz, to his alter ego Jevar Ethnic, will certainly entertain just about any listener. The D DUBB..
