Kraizy Jei was born and raised in SouthEast (Washington, Dc). His mother moved him to Danville,Va when his father died. Dc's GO-GO music scene erupted in around 1978/ 1979 when Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers released their smash hit single "Bustin' Loose." Also, at that time, Sugar Hill Gang released "Rapper's Delight." In Virginia, he had the best of both worlds, GO-GO and Hip-Hop. At the tender age of eight years old, he saw a video clip of Grandmaster Flash. From that moment he knew he wanted to be a DJ. However, when he Run-DMC released "Sucker MC's" he wanted to rap as well.
Over the years he's Dj'ed, written lyrics, and produced many tracks. With a few singles and a new album (3 for the Dollar) under his belt, he's proven he may be a "newbie" to new listeners, but not a newbie to the game. This cat is DEFINITELY a veteran and his lyrics speak for themselves. With in fluences such as: Busy Bee, Slick Rick, Schooly D, Nas, Jadakiss, Biggie, Big L, Ice Cube, Redman, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and many others...You'll HAVE to give him his props when you listen to him.
