I'm so tired....I can barely keep my eyes open. 40 hours a week becomes 60 before you can blink. Kids crying down the hall.....in the distance, a dog howls at a stagering dope feind in search of cracked windows.
Me...I'm sedated always....for this existance is rare to those of us who tremble for nothing short of bass.
A helicopter passes now....i'm in south central.
My jugernaugt sized rhyme book has deflected more than enough stray bullets to know one thing,
....gotta make it! Some how, some way, just gotta.
I'm an Emcee. Neither simple, nor plain. Strange in a way even the reflection of bizarre would have query with it's nature. HUH?
My music is free for the moment, and I love it when I may a new ear think again. Hit up my board with your like or dislikes.
DISLIKES BE WARNED!!!!!: you say something bout me or my peoples, you better be an EMCEE and you better be ready to battle and you BETTA BE READY TO DIE!
Class of '83.

Why this name?
Originally, the acronym M.A.N.E. stood for "Menace 2 A Nigga's Ego"....however, upon the discovery of Islam in 1992, M.A.N.E. found more purpose in his title and changed the definition to:
"Multi Artistic Neverending Entity"
The 2nd name AZEEM is Arabic for "He Who Controls His Surroundings."
Mane Azeem has also been known to perform under the name of OZ PHENOM as well.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet causes more people who would more than likely never hear of each other...to do so.
I have been addicted to listening to hot MC's from places like Minnesota, and Canada, and Ohio. The industry must reach these little dark towns so that we can expose the hotter talent out there today.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure I would. My actual problem with record deals is more with small independent labels with no budget and no agenda.
My last label EXES ENTERTAINMENT was bunch of jerk-offs! They had the money.....but no idea of what they were doing!
A contract would be nice.......
but an obligation to cultivate the ear-drums of the world would be better!
Now.......Go & Groove Different!

Band History:
Mane Azeem, or Mane Oz, or Oz Phenom, or Ozzy Wreck Station (as some call him) is a part of a larger click named INNER SANCTUM PRODUCTIONS.
The Inner Sanctum is always growing and changing. It began as Mane Azeem and I.D. GAPH (producer/DJ)
Inner Sanctum Productions is now:
Mane Azeem (rhymer/producer/musician/geek),
I.D. Gaph (producer/musician/anti-social nutt),
Lizard King Lee (studio head/musician/liquor),
Tommy Gunn (rhymer/producer/lush/artist)
Jadox (rhymer/technician/weather-man)
Enigma (rhymer/basketball/young-punk)
Luck (producer/manager/A&R/Madden-Fanatic)
Ryan Star (producer/musician/white-boy)
30 Lashes (rhymer/youngster/knuckle-head)

As new acts come and old acts go.....The Sanctum is always changing in it's form. A virtual fluid realm of styles and oddities.
Some (most) artist in The Inner Sanctum are currently working on solo or expanded projects...Mane Azeem being one of them. The Inner Sanctum is less like a unit and more like a REASON.....stay tuned!

Favorite spot?
Kauai, Hawaii.
On the Eastern shore of Kauai is a little town named Kapaa'. This is like the town that time forgot. Beaches everywhere....free Mai Tais everywhere....and a small jazz bar that welcomes Hip Hop whenever it appears!

Equipment used:
I use whatever I can.
I have produced several tracks using an MPC2000, and I also use Digital Performer as a sequencer.
I have been know to make tracks using the MTV Music Generator on the Playstation and later on the MTV Music Generator 2 on the PS2 System.
Currently....we are fine tuning our new band.. "THE AUDIO PICASO ALL-STAR BAND"....a 6 man rhythum section where Mane Azeem is lead vocal.

Anything else...?
Currently Mane Azeem is looking to colaberate with world wide MC's for a very intresting musical project. If anyone would like to be a part of this, please e-mail me with a sample of your music. Due to the fact that this WILL be a tight project...musical submissions will be chosen very carefully. Thank You.
