 “After suddenly losing the investors for my hiphop album, I found myself unemployed with a stagnant music career…. I had to rebuild.”
 

4-IZE doesn’t know defeat. Inspired by the improv scene in Atlanta, he rebranded with a fusion of comedy and rap and started a #VerseADay campaign to hone his freestyle craft. It didn’t go unnoticed—Snoop Dogg reposted his verse getting him an instant move into the spotlight. 

He’s kept the momentum going, dropping an album with his hiphop collective, ULTRA BEAST, titled ‘UNITED’. His most recent solo project however,  “LOOK INTO MY IZE” has solidified his spot as a rapper on the rise. Featuring the talents of Ludacris, Talib Kweli and Swizz Beats, ’LOOK INTO MY IZE’ was called “One of the best albums of 2020” by AllHipHop.  Check out more of 4-IZE work at UltraBeastUnited.com

“I never use my craft to capitalize or gain recognition, but to help clients heal.”

 

@BookProductions channels his talents for the community. From bringing cultural icons to life, to commemorating the loss of loved ones, his murals hit deep. As a single father of triplets, he’s motivated to keep bringing something valuable to the world. 

Want to see more of his work?  “Social media is a great start. But I still carry a physical portfolio in my backpack. You never know who you’ll come across who needs inspiration.”

“I want to be an inspiration to the young people from Liberia trying to be a producer/artist.”  

 

King Dozee pays homage to his Liberian roots while bringing a fresh cross-over of other music genres, including R&B and HipCo —hiphop mixed with “Coloqua”. Ranked #1 in Tennessee on Reverbnation’s R&B and Soul Chart, he continues to push the boundaries and make moves.

His latest album drop, ‘BIG BOY DOZEE’ released last month is an anthem to the ladies. Inspired by his female fan base, he wanted to give them something they could vibe to—streaming now on all major platforms.

    Like a few other artists, I started out with hoop dreams that came crashing down when I lost my grandma who I was living with to a stroke and had to move to whole new place where no one knew me. This eventually lead me back to music and singing which i had grown up around. From singing on my voicemails to going to my homie's makeshift studio after he heard and wanted me on a hook, to writing my first song. It all started with tragedy. Here we are now 10+ years later after high school, dropping out of college, failed relationships, and near death experiences and somehow all I consistently do is create new vibes. This passion goes beyond just the music, it's a part of my soul, my higher self. It's how I communicate to the world what I feel and what my messages are. It's how I can talk and relate to you without you even having met me. From my soul to your soul I connect with everyone through my sounds and words.

    Music was all i ever had growing up. Always felt like an outcast so i spent alot of time just zoned out to music. Started writing rhymes in 97 in the 9th grade. Gave all i had for this craft, from being homeless sleeping in my car and still writing to now starting to get features from bigger artists. Im currently working on my king in the making album which will be on all major platforms. Featuring the horseshoe gang, Kxng Crooked, Wrekonize of Mayday, Mims & others. If you want a super lyrical southern artist you just found him.

    I have an artist that the world should hear. She doesn't know how to grow her fan base and neither fo I. I have so much hope and faith in her craft. She is a rapper, singer and songwriter. I have no ties to her but I have noticed her grind. I've been searching and entering her in to opportunities like this. Hope to see some shine in her future or feature. Her name is Tr Golden Child.
