Press Release
Body = Double Empak, the producers who shows major credits for their
productions of DMX, SHYNE, JA RULE, just to name a few, has signed
a new young artist named STIZZ AGGRESSION.
Double Empak has Dame Grease who is better known as Vacant Lot.
At a talent
showcase for rappers/hip-hop artists in New Haven, Connecticut,
artists and fans are sitting down, drinking and listening to the
performances, some even rising to join in on the refrains.
Nobody is sitting,
though, when Stizz takes the stage. He is apparently popular with
the other artists, and many dedicate a shout-out to him when they
take the stage. But now that he is on stage, everyone stands, gathers
around the stage and enjoys pure entertainment.
It is almost
impossible to see him through the crowd that gathers, dancing, bobbing
heads, and joining in joyfully on the chorus. Stizz has a high energy
style, and is a natural performer. With an engaging smile and the
ability to get an audience whipped into a frenzy, it is easy to
see why Stizz is one of New Haven’s most popular music artists.
Stizz, now in
his early 20’s, looks back five years to the time when he
decided to become a rap/hip-hop artist. Previously, he had worked
as a DJ at several local venues and had been teaching a class on
the art of being a DJ to the local children in the innercity. Although
he did teach them the skills to DJ, his message was more important:
you can do anything as long as you put your heart and soul into
it.
After years
of spinning other artists’ work on the turntable, he decided
to give it a try himself, and the response was very positive.
Now, five years
later, the native New Haven resident’s music is heard on such
programs as MTV’s Pimp My Ride, The Newlyweds, The Osbournes,
The Jessica Simpson Show, Trippin’ and a new show called NEXT.
Even putting a couple of quarters in a video game might give you
a look at his talent, as he has contracted to create several tracks
for Midway Games, the video game company.
With a major
label contract just in place, Stizz is getting ready to explode
onto national radio, music stores, and into the public eye, due
to his Producer’s agreement with a highly recognized production
company, Double Empak, that produces artists such as DMX, Camron,
and Shyne.
With a creative
ear for beats and an interesting turn of a phrase, Stizz's music
goes from violent to funny, tense to seductive. His popular track,
"Tear Da Club UP" adds rowdy violence to a beat that makes
you want to get up and do just that. "All This Money"
is a seductive song of passion and fun. His music definitely illustrates
the joys and sorrows, the hope and the violence that make up life
on the streets.
Stizz endured
many hardships as a youth . He has adapted well to his condition
and hopes that his presence on stage and in the public forum may
act as encouragement to others to fulfill their dreams.
"It doesn't
matter who you are or what you are, you can do anything your mind
tells you to do, so handle your business!" Stizz informed me
at a recent interview. Between finishing his first album and finishing
his contract with Midway Games , he also sells beats from his studio
to other rappers. By the time this artist celebrates the releasing
of his first album, he will have had quite a busy time.
When asked what
he feels his biggest strength is, he replied "I would say it's
my sincerity. When I'm rapping, you believe what I'm telling you
in the song." Stizz looks many places for the inspiration to
create his beats. During the interview, I spy a vinyl copy of a
collection of music by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. When
I look at him inquiringly, he grins. "I found some really good
ideas on that one."
He is a modest
man with a good sense of humor and an engaging personality. He has
the same strong moral convictions that he shares with his mother/manager
Ms. Thomas.They
work well as a team, she plotting strategy and him making his magic
in the production studio to bring that strategy to completion. When
asked about her son as
a client, Ms. Thomas smiles warmly. "He is a very sweet man
and is very easy to manage. Some artists I work with are difficult
to handle, constantly arguing and wanting to do things their own
way, but Stizz is great. He leaves the business up to me, and I
leave the music up to him." This seems to be a successful strategy,
as his popularity on internet radio shows that listeners like his
music.
I believe that
this young artist will descend on the music scene like a tornado,
and leave the listeners gasping in surprise in his wake.
Double Empak
released Stizz’s first album, on August 30, entitled “THE
PREVIEW” which is an introduction to Stizz to the world of
the mainstream industry.
This hard hitting
impacted album is produced, composed and written by Stizz to let
the world know that his talents in the studio are as hard impacted
as they are on stage.
