KizZ Is Hip Hop

KizZ is an American MC born in Queens, but raised in Brooklyn's downtown Projects known as “Fort Greene”. KizZ early on developed a drive for drawing and writing poems. At the young age of 8 KizZ was an active member of the poetry society at his local public School. Here he crafted simple poems but also learned the use of metaphors. As time passed and entering High School KizZ focus was on drawing and pursuing an art career. But after being influenced by Hip-hop in such a strong way he began to apply his knowledge of poems to rhythmatic beats. Along with Ravage and Cypha they formed within their public high school a crew of rappers which ranged from 3-25 people [off and on members]. Years went by and the numbers of the crew began to crumble leaving only 3 members behind. At this time he would compete in semi rap battles in and out of school and around his very own project neighborhood trying to increase his name and skills. He would often link up with Fort Greene Dj One Flight who was impressed with KizZ’s rap ability and provide him with not only time to record but give him advice on the game. In 2003 KizZ appeared on One Flight’s Mixtape along with fellow Fort Greene rapper Double O. Though feedback on the track was positive KizZ Shortly after felt his rhymes were going over people’s heads, he also felt that no one paid attention to the effort of writing he put into his bars. Also around this time KizZ would lose his 1year old baby cousin to a violent act of murder as well. With that adding to his frustration KizZ would soon give up his dream of rapping all together.In Late 2006 after being away from rapping and Hip Hop for 3 years KizZ began to write and fall in love once again with the music. He still kept freestyling in his spare time during the course of his hiatus. Instead of battling against fellow rappers KizZ felt that his new rival was not human at all, but the sounds coming out of the radio. KizZ would soon get back in touch with Ravage and Rekamzy to help form TRINITY MUZIK ENT. Now he works day in and day out on his music and has been working on releasing new tracks of remakes of songs for Mixtape's with One Flight and Myspace listeners. Unlike before KizZ writes more and more of his personal life within his rhymes. KizZ is often known for talking about his love for the music and struggle growing up in Fort Greene, an example of this is in a freestyle track called “Waiting 4 Hip-hop”. He also writes rhymes most people get confused as “Battle Rap”, but KizZ just calls it “babbling” as his rhymes express how he’s feelings during the time he writes the words on paper. A playful yet serious person at the same time KizZ also expresses himself in parody rap freestyles were he displays his humor and wit. Another topic he often talks and speaks out about is the way society is set up to entrap the young youth of America.
