**KEEZY BLANCO** (THA INVASION!!)

Hip-Hop is what fuels and motivates 19 year old Marquis White aka: "Keezy Tha Rokkstarr". Born on October 24th 1988 in Pittsburgh, PA. Keezy Tha Rokkstarr or simply known as Keezy, has been rapping since the innoncent age of 9. Surrounded by crime and poverty on Pittsburgh's infamous Hill District, Keezy was forced to move away after facing expulsion from school in the 1st grade. With his father thinking it would benefit him more than anything, Keezy was sent to live with his mother in a cluttered home. Now residing with his grandparents, mother and two uncles in the borough of Wilkinsburg is where Keezy would be influenced by the neverending sounds of 2pac, Biggie, and N.W.A in which his slightly older uncles would oftenly play. After facing a series of moving back and forth from his mothers house in Wilkinsburg to his fathers home on the Hill District because of parental conflicts, Keezy began to be more influenced by music and by the age of 9 he decided that this would be something that he would possibly become great at. Keezy's first performance was in a talent contest at Wilkinsburg Senior High School with a fellow classmate. After being the only rap act and finishing third place, Keezy's motivation became even stronger to become the best he could be. During his pre-teen years, Keezy was now heavily into rap music and the biggest influences consisted of greats such as 2Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, The HotBoy$, and No Limit to name a few. Now beginning to write on a regular basis, Keezy would often go to The Hosanna House in Wilkinsburg to record and work on his skills due to a class for music in which held a studio with the teacher also being an aspiring rapper. For the fear his family would not approve, Keezy kept his talents a secret until he became so good, they would not be able to criticize. Now as a teenager, rap became getting more serious and easier to understand. Keezy then joined a group with fellow classmates which was named "K5K", which later was changed into "Hood Status". After a brief stint with local production company Kolab Productions, Keezy and "Hood Status" then became members of Infrared Ent; which had artists such as "Tha Govament", "Titan", and many others. This is when Keezy developed a deep dislike for fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa after an incident in I.D Labs, a studio in Lawrenceville(in which Wiz was the main artist). After the arrest of Keezy's manager, he then left Infrared Ent. and hooked up with fellow Hill native Dane "Bricks" Childs; who later created "Kingpinz Music Group". Keezy would find a home at Kingpinz and would work on his best music while at his new home, and his recruiting skills as he would later bring in childhood friend and fellow rap artist "Ikey Bubz" to join him on Kingpinz Music Group. Several misunderstandings between Keezy and Bricks led to the first of Keezy's departures in look for a new label-home. Months went past and Keezy eventually re-joined the newly re-vamped Kingpinz Music Group with Bricks still at the head. This would prove to be the best time in Keezy's musical career as he would finally perform and record on a regular basis. As time went past, Keezy and Bricks eventually had more misunderstandings and Keezy was released from the label. Now in the process to start his own label and entertainment empire, Keezy has now decided to take his career in his own hands and not only put himself on the map; but his city as well. Keezy is currently working on his long-awaited, highly-anticipated debut which has been delayed due to label negotiations... Slated for release August 09'.
