LaZaRuS is aLive
After experiencing success producing for Foxy Brown, Fabolous, DJ Clue, Grafh, and other artists, L.Z.'s career died. Now God has resurrected him as an artist, LaZaRuS. He now makes music with a purpose, whether it be to encourage, empower, inspire, or uplift. LaZaRuS' music can relate to people of all ages.
