 “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.

    I released my news project right before the pandemic. I thought I’d have time to shoot visuals once it was complete. However, due to social distancing it has been a challenge gettin my music heard without any visuals but I’m trying my hardest! And I will reach my goal of having a charting album I’ll never give up!!! The Feelings Mutual is available on every streaming platform...... Enjoy it with some E&J

    Hip hop originated in the Mecca of New York City. An experience recognized synonymous with a, New Harlem renaissance. This gave a voice to people, a people that didn’t want, but needed to be heard. Growing up it taught me more than any school and solidified a bond with my community and my family. My Debut album titled “What Is It All For” will be a reminder of the need for a sense of community in a time of social distancing. Inspired heavily lyrically by works of Big Pun, Big L, and a best collection of Soul samples with heavy bass lines will have a zone worthy of an E&J Celebration. I, am IMAGE.

    With the release of my last project I felt like i was able to get my message and expressions across, as regards to what I see as “My Dream Girl Is Different” so everyone else could get my perspective as to what my definition of “My Dream Girl Is Different” is all about, which doesn’t much differ from a lot of people’s fantasy of this Cinderella fairytale love fantasy world. keep going even when at doubt, your all you got. Continue to be your true self. Believe in what your doing and get yourself a solid genuine team. Nothing is going to come together easy or be right The first time, everything will come together as it should as long as you keep going. Which is part of the process which I think is the best part because that’s how you learn, learn early from your mistakes You have to be your biggest fan and critique. You can’t be worrying about what others have to say. Create your own lane and wave and everything will fall right into place. But ask yourself how bad do you want it, and you’ll get your answer by being true to yourself.

    I became a father at 19 shortly thereafter i was sent to jail on felony theft charges, upon returning home and re-establishing my relationship with my daughter i started working odd jobs to fund my career in music. To this date I have gained millions of plays on SoundCloud, and have recently dropped three tracks on apple music&spotify gaining just over 6k streams. My goal is to establish a future for my kids so they dont have to deal with the hardships I dealt with. This collaboration with E&J would help take me out of my struggle to provide better for my daughter and future son

    I am Cristyles Da Dame an Emcee and Independent Rap Artist from New Orleans I actually have created fun memories with the family that started all with a ice cold cup of E & J Peach or Apple mixed with sprite or cranberry. I remember rapping for hours with my brother and uncles one night after we had been sipping...let’s just say Great Taste & Talent runs in the Family...I think I should have sponsorship from E& J because I’ve actually been supporting this brand and mutual support would be a “Dream Come True”
