Born May 8,1979 IN+INGLEWOOD CA to the proud parents of Pat Walker and Emmett Forte. RAZZAQ was destined to become an icon within the music industry. That very year that RAZZAQ was born the birth of hip-hop was created. The legendary Group Sugar Hill gang crep onto the scene with a joint called "Rappers Delight". His father was a professional guitarist at one point in time and his mother sang back-up for R&B Queen Karen White. Growing up in the eighties Razzaq’s sister which actually wrote his first rap and cousin known as Menace exposed young ZAQ to groups formally known as NWA, EPMD, KRS1, COOL G RAP, ABOVE DA LAW, and ERIC .B. & RAKIM, AND TRIBE CALLED QUEST, As the 90’s came into play Razzaq fell in love with the Hip-Hop culture, shortly after this he began free stylin at dances at his local high school which is known as Inglewood High. After graduating from Leuzinger High the only thing that was on Razzaq’s mind was fulfilling his dream to become a very infulencial rap star.

At the time Razzaq was a part of a group formaly called GOD SQUAD which consisted of ZAQ, MENACE, NAHIJA and YOUNG TAKE OFF, things began to go down hill and Razzaq never had one track recorded, he just used to go to studios and public places and spit hot flows at any given time,ONE NIGHT THE BROTHER OF HOLLYWOOD ACTOR CUBA GOODEN TRYED TO BATTLE RAZZAQ AT UNIVERSAL CITY WALK AND THAT WAS A BAD MOVE CAUSE RAZZAQ ATE HIS ASS ALIVE AFTER 10 KILLER BARS IT WAS "LIGHTZOUT" ANOTHER TIME IN 1993, AT THE AGE OF 14 THEN SIGN DEF JAM ARTIST "SOUTHCENTRAL CARTELL" ASK RAZZAQ AND THE GOD SQUAD CREW TO COME HOLLA AT THEIR STUDIO IN HOLLYWOOD OFF THE TOP OF THE DOME RAZZAQ SPIT FOR 2 MIN’ STRIGHT "RAPPER PRODIGY" JUST SHOOK HIS HEAD AND WAS LIKE DAM THAT’S FREESTYLE ? SHORTLY AFTER THIS RAZZAQ RAN INTO THE CARSON BASED SINGER "BRANDY" IN A HOLLYWOOD GAS STATION HE JUST ASK HER WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO CRACK INTO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SHE WAS YOUNG HER 1ST ALBUM JUST CAME OUT AND SHE HAD LITTLE ADVICE TO OFFER BUT TO STAY FOCUS" AFTER GRADUATING FROM LEUZINGER HIGH SCHOOL IN LAWNDALE, RAZZAQ WENT TO EL-CAMINO COLLEGE IN TORRANCE CA, HIS MAJOR WAS IN HISTORY AND LAW MAINTAING A 3.5 GPA IN ALL AP CLASSES WHILE ATTENDING BUT SOON RAZZAQ BEGAN TO EXPERINCE RACE RELATED PROBLMES WITH IN THE EL CAMINO COLLEGE BUT HIS CLOSE FRIEND AND MENTOR Los Angeles actor Alfonso Freeman

As a song writer the level of talent in which he demostrates is astounding NO LONGER AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE GROUP CALLED KILLA + TEAM, NOW OFFICALLY ROCKING as a SOLO artist RAZZAQ began to stepped aside from the crowd and decided to put his career within the care of his own hands. People have doubted this young brother and said " He will never make it as a solo arist" let truth be told he literally a one man band going in studios and recording smash hit songs within 20 minutes from hits such as LET’Z BE FRIEND’Z, I TRYED, THEY WANT MORE,BURNING UP, BLUE RAIN to the MICROPHONE to YOU SO FLY,to ALL EYEZ ON ME, to I WOULD to NOTORIOUS REMIX, to LIGHTZOUT, DO MY THANG,I STAY FRESH, NEW CALI KING, SUNSHINE, TILL THE END, LIL JAMAL, 5 DOLLER NIGGA DIS, BLACKOUT WEST-ROC2, Ohh Snap RAZZAQ IZ BACK, HUH MY 1ST REPLY, NIGGA ASK ABOUT ME, BOUT 2 BLOW, TO EACH HIS OWN, PLATNUM BOUND, GIRL, GET YA BARS UP, WORK THAT SHH, NASTY MUSIC, BOUNCE ROC SKATE, FEEL SO GOOD73, IF I FALL IN LUV, BE EAZY, DON’T BACK DOWN,BALLIN $HORTY, KKKILLIN IT,CALI NIGHTZ,CONSIDER LIFE, TRUTH, FIRE,AND LAST BUT NOT LEASE 1ST RAPPER TO EVER DO A SONG ABOUT BEING A MICPHONE, GURL YOU THE HOTTEST, DUBS UP, 2NITE, TOPP DOWN, RIDE WITH ME, NO REGREST, I TRY, MOVE YA BODY, DIED IN YOUR ARM’S, DREAMIN, CLOSER THEN CLOSE, ONE N’ ONLY LADY, MY GROWN MAN ON, I SALUTE U, BAPES N’ CHUCKS, PLUS+ THE CONVERSAL HOTTEST DIS RECORDS OF THE YEAR WHICH ARE ENTITLED "INDUSTRY DRAMA" "PUT THE GUN 2 YA" AND KARMA" and a list of MANY other hits, THAT WE COULD GO ON AND ON NAMING FROM VARIOUS MIXTAPES PROJECTS AND RECORDING FROM STUDIO’S IN THE I.E TO SOUTHERN CALI Razzaq is definitly out ot prove himself as one of the most prolific rap stars to ever hit the scene. Razzaq wants people to know that it aint where you’re from its how you come and that it is the very reason he has what can be defined as a bi-coastal rap style, and every artist from the BIGGIES to TUPACS & all artist weather main stream or underground the rap culutre has provided outlets for young black males within ghettos across America never forget hip-hop which was birth out of the disco era was all about "look at me" or better yet "look what I can do", so having said that Razzaq wants you to look at the bigger picture of what he can do. Going through such THINGS as losing loved ones, TO DEALING WITH JELOUS FRIENDS, to even being homeless... AND SLEEPING IN ABANDON CAR’S WHILE IN COLLEGE, REGARLESS OF THE STRUGGLE ALWAYS REMEMBER real niggaz do real things. HiS OWN FAMILY NEVER SUPPORTED HIS DREAMS AND RAZZAQ NEVER WONDER WHY ?
