40 BARZ is a very unstable Emcee. Mixing everything from wrestling to music to comic books to cartoons and real life, Barz has been able to stay fresh in the constant changing world of Hip-Hop. Being an unsigned emcee has only made his "Style-less Style" more vicious then need be. The history of 40 BARZ is something of a toss up. Some think that Barz is a genetically enhanced prototype emcee, that up til now remained hidden in the labs of some mad doctor in hopes to save Hip Hop. Others think Barz isn't from this planet. Some believe that he was sent here from another planet to share the gift of pure Hip Hop with this planet. Others.....and group of a few Hip Hop heads feel that 40 BARZ is a different story. A story of an Emcee that always played the background. A talented emcee that over the years has been overshadowed by the teams he rolls with. They believe it is the same feelings of being overlooked and has channeled them into the raw unbridled force that is known as ”40 BARZ”. Whatever his history....all the remains is his future....and the beginning of a great legacy......
Under the name Jack Nickelz aka Richard Fitzwell, Barz spent a total of 2 and a half years under the beat making training of Master Tony Benjaminz. Trained on the MPC2000 and moved on to the 9th Wonda endorsed Fruity Loops. He has been crafting delights which have been snatched up by artist like Kinkaide, Tha Bully to Doc Vaporz & Jimmy Fontaine out in Portland.
Now with more than a few hot tracks under his belt, he is opening The Bodega Beat Shop. Prices for beats are pretty reasonable $60 per track and willing to work package deals. Holla for more info. Other than that be on the lookout for various projects from members of his crew and family.
