of Chicago (Oak Park), Illinois. 4-IZE uses every letter and every word as a verbal weapon in his battle to reach success in the music
industry. His glasses are used as his third eye to see his way through the world. 4-IZE took what was once an insult in his childhood
years, and used it as his ‘moniker’ to remind him of the self-confidence that he had to develop over the years of struggling to be an
individual.
4-IZE began rapping in 1991 with his first group known as the LOUDMOUTH HOOLIGANS, a group that included Ludacris. They
performed at local hometown events, talent competitions and record company sponsored showcases. In 1999 4-IZE relocated to
Atlanta, GA in oder to further his musical career. Hip-Hop fans have already experienced a taste of 4-IZE’s lyrical abilities on both 3X
Platinum albums by Def Jam South recording artist, Ludacris. 4-IZE was a major contributor to the phenomenal album sales of “Back
for the First Time”-2000 and “Word of Mouf”-2001. However, there is more to this artist than those two exhibitions of supreme lyricism
that couldn’t be matched. 4-IZE has reigned supreme with the kings of the underground, and is widening those cracks in the pavement
that he left imprinted in millions of people’s minds in 2000 and 2001. Leaving listeners with the question, who was that?
4-IZE has performed at numerous venues throughout the country; THE WAKE UP SHOW hosted by MTV’s Sway (09/27/2003), MTV's
Direct Effect, The Source: Unsigned Hype Battle, Mic Check Lyrical Boxing, Rnations's Rap & Soul, The VOKAL/Apple Bottoms Fashion
Concert & Showcase at Morehouse College Forbes Arena (Atlanta, GA 2003), University of Louisville Hip Hop Summit, Atlantis Music
Conference (Atlanta, GA 2003), Emory University (Atlanta GA). 4-IZE has done radio drops for: Los Angeles’ POWER 106 and THE BEAT,
Atlanta’s 107.9 FM (formerly 97.5 FM), WRAS 88.5 FM, WREK 91.1, and 89.3 FM. 4-IZE has also made several television appearances;
MTV’s Direct Effect Rap Battle, Rnation’s Rap & Soul, and The Source: Unsigned Hype Battle, MTV Diary of Ludacris, and The
Underground Talent Mart. 4-IZE has articles that have appeared in Hip-Hop Encounter Magazine, Smooth Magazine, Crunk Magazine,
and London’s Blag Magazine.
4-IZE is scheduled to release a solo project entitled, Fantastik IV, in the fall of 2004. 4-IZE visualizes his lyrics as a way of bringing life
to his beliefs, and this project will be no different from the usual lyrical prowess that he has been known to display at all times. 4-IZE
continues to strive to be an independent creative force in Hip Hop music. He believes music is an art form that should be expressed
with pride. 4-IZE takes pride in his music as if it were his child, nuturing his music so it will reflect the true image of himself. 4-IZE’s
style compares to none other, with his unlimited lyrical ability he rufuses to put himself in a box, which he believes creates
unnecessary limitations. 4-IZE is an Emcee that speaks to all subjects; comedy, political awareness, sexual expression, educational
entertainment, brilliant stupidity with a message, etc. One of his greatest hopes is to push the envelope in an effort to bring out the
best in his music and in himself. 4-IZE refuses to sell his intergrity for commercial success, instead he perfects his craft and waits for
others to catch up....
