DEEZY4PREZ
I'M DEEZY4PREZ, ONE HALF OF THE DAY-CHI EXPERIENCE! I LOVE GOOD MUSIC. I DONT CARE WHAT IT IS, IF I MOVE TO IT, I HAVE NO PROBLEM SUPPORTING IT!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
DEVIN "DEEZY4PREZ" ANDERSON IS ONE-THIRD OF THE DAY-CHI EXPERIENCE, A MEMBER OF THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT CREW, ALONG W/ 306 WEST, AND SMOKE-SHOP ENT. NOT YOUR AVERAGE M.C., "THE PREZ" HAS A MISSION ON HIS HANDS WHEN IT COMES TO HIP-HOP. IN A TIME WHEN THOUGHT PROVOKING LYRICS AND WORDPLAY ARE FROWNED UPON, DEEZY'S PARTNER IN CRIME CUDDA MACK (DAY-CHI) INSPIRED A MOVEMENT. WHILE WORKING TOGETHER ON A RENT-A-CENTER TRUCK, HAVING MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE STATE OF RAP, THEY DISAGREED ABOUT ALOT, BUT THERE WAS ONE THING THEY SEE EYE TO EYE ABOUT. HIP-HOP NEEDS FRESH AIR. INSPIRED BY THE LIKES OF, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, REDMAN, 2PAC, NAS, ICE CUBE AND OTHER GREATS, DEEZY STARTED SEARCHING FOR HIS VOICE. ALMOST GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE FALSE SENSE OF BRAVADO TODAY'S SCENE CAN OFFER, "THE PREZ" RECORDED A MIX-TAPE CALLED "THE CAMPAIGN". A YOUNG POET (MS. PURITY) DID WHAT SO MANY OTHERS AROUND DEEZY FAILED TO DO, SHE DELIVERED A STRAIGHT-UP GUT CHECK. HER THING WAS, "YOUR TALENTED, BUT WHY DO MUSIC IF IT'S NOT TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE?" "THE CAMPAIGN" (WITH THE EXEPTION OF A COUPLE OF BRILLIANT MOMENTS) WAS MOSTLY FORCED, TIRED, THUGGED-OUT MUSIC. WHILE SOME LOVED IT, DEEZY HATED IT AND THAT LACK OF SATISFACTION LIT A FIRE THAT CANT BE EXTINGUISHED. DEEZY4PREZ HAS COLLABORATED WITH ARTISTS FROM LONDON TO GERMANY, AND IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON MORE PROJECTS WITH POETS, SINGERS, AND OTHERS WITH A CREATIVE FIRE LIKE HIS. ARMED WITH AN ARSENAL OF CUDDA MACK'S "BOOM BAP!" FLAVORED BEATS, AND A FUN-LOVING, REALISTIC THOUGHT PROCESS, THE TIME IS NOW! THE PREZ IS HERE! DAY-CHI!!!
