when i was younger, people used to ask if i was black or white or mixed or whatever because i have a dark skin tone and i carry myself with a little bit of confidence. it was always like, oh you can't just be a white guy. i used to just say, naa, i'm just white. but then my best friend was like, naa, yo, he's just beige. so i was like, damn, that's dope. so it became BaYzHe and it stuck.

I do as much as i can. if there is something to be at, i'm there. i do a lot of open mic sh*** at ODU, where i also do a lot of battle contests, i've done a spot at Howard University Homecoming, and i've also just done miscellaneous events through-out the seven cities.

waters it down... now any joker can try to be an emcee.

that's a silly question. thats everyone's dream. if a child grows up wanting to be a teacher, and someone hands him a record contract and tells him to dance, he does it.

i first started writing sh*** for girls when i was younger. then i started battling in middle school. in high school i was still doing both, writing about girls and smashing heads, while i was trying to encorporate more topics and stories into my music. i started realizing by the end of high school i couldn't just battle everyone and hate everyone and have them hating me. so i started college at ODU as a creative writing major to try and bring out more of my voice as an artist. this was one of the best moves i have ever made in my musical career. just to be able to understand how to write effectively has been most beneficial. being able to tell a story is one of the most important aspects of any art, and i really felt pulling that into my music has brought me to where i am now.

CAGE MOTHERf***ING KENNYLZ (chris palko, google the shit) Mos Def, Common, Kanye West

those are emcees... that's not to say that i don't get down to some Eagles or Beatles or Incubus or John Legend or what the f*** ever. if the sh*** is on the box and i like the way it sounds, i could give a f*** what lable any motherf***er puts on what I LIKE TO LISTEN TO.

peices of sh*** i collected from my own toilet.
