Draztik: The Midwest Notable Soul
This is for the one that doubted my flows to you the underground exposed a notable soul
From the windy streets of Chicago focus was steady for this young lyricist. Born in the early 80s Lewis Draztik Asbury learned early on that life in the streets was a portrait of hardship and strong sense was needed for survival.
With musical talent hereditary Draztik was already a foot into the game waiting for the coachs recognition. By his teenage years Draztik, (Kan-D-Man at that point began writin scripts for his first appearance in the lab.
Fresh into high school he ventured on to recording his self released mixtape A Lost Solja Ov War and in the same year releasing the Idle Mindz debut to the streets 5th World MA-fia. Working behind the scenes on other local projects gave Draztik time to study and gain stronger focus and inspiration for a more powerful come back for the millennium.
With a strong love for poetry and eyes and ears deeply embedded to the street life Draztik developed a style some would later begin to compare to Hip hop greats such as Nas, or a hometown favorite Common. On a search for a stronger appearance, he then teamed up with local producer Aaron B. for a hot new original seasoning to bring to the industry tables. With this duo in the lab constantly on creativity voyage came the 2003 release of The Window Payne.
This being the only industry release under his belt paved a way for appearances on Chicago Mixtapes as well as, on other local releases such as, Pacifico Records We Got It On Lock Vol. 1, Organized Rhymes White Label Homicide, LBs The Legit Mixtape, Kerel Entertainments Compilation etc. In 2004 Draztik began working on the release of his sophomore album Innovation but shortly after the completion of recording felt uncomfortable with the albums flow and cancelled the release. Currently in 2005 he is in the works of releasing an underground mixtape prior to the release of R.Y.M.E. 4 Reason his much anticipated new release.
