“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.

B-Bless
5 years agoI’m a tv producer by day and rapper by night in NYC and CT. One day I’m covering breaking news the next I’m rapping over hip hop breaks! My father is a king of a city-state in Ghana, West Africa. It’s our responsibility to help the less fortunate where my dad rules and cultivate the land for the people who live there. I use my music to tell my unique story and to share that leadership is a responsibility and privilege. I remain humble because I also had humble beginnings.
Eddie Deuce
5 years agoI moved from FL to NYC to pursue my music career. Brought my son and his mother even though we weren’t together. I came to NY to produce music but I had no where to stay, and I had 3 jobs. I manage an artist and I had to put my own work to the aide while doing that. People always asked what happened to your work and I didn’t have an answer. I was working, full time dad, and artist manager. Since the quarantine started I’ve rebranded and now produce daily as produce shows for the production like Paint and Produce and Late Night Lo Fi. I’ve been able to rebrand and get back to producing full time. 3 projects coming and produced on many others. Probably made 20 tracks all last year and have made 70+ in the last 2 months. Compilation album and instrumental album on the way as well. I’ve always helped a lot of people get to their goal and now it’s time to do what I love. Even without it as a career I would produce music every chance I got. It’s my therapy. It’s in my soul. It’s my daily bread. @eddie_deuce

5 years agoI don't give myself enough credit. I know my talents and abilities but I underestimate myself. I've been taken through the ringer "industry professionals" so many times I dont know when an opportunity is legit or not. So I put my talents on the back burner. I've been doing my own thing independently, I'm currently working on my 2nd album titled "A Stoner and A Gentleman". My music is different from the music today because I want to make music that people of all ages can listen to it.

5 years agoGrowing up in Bridgeton,Nj there isn't many opportunities most people fall victim to crime,drugs etc. When you don't have alot it motivates you to want more but most of all want to achieve so for the past few years i've been working to achieve this and also show others from my area that you can still believe in your dreams. I started off just doing music and building my catalog. I didn't really have the money or know how but i kept grinding until i did. After that i connected with a company that allowed me to design, create, and sell my own sneakers. After the sneaks i started designing and selling clothing and jackets as well and now i also have a album out. I'm very proud of myself being a High School drop out and falling victim to the streets and loosing a brother to the streets it took alot for me to choose another path in life. Now i also try to help promote others who also might be tryning chase their dreams as well because in life we all are winners sometimes we just need to connect with the right people and get a great opportunity
