What's up it's Draztyk..I just want to introduce you to my music..My music I feel has always had a distinct sound.. I feel it's a mix between the morals of old school hip-hop but mixed with the rugged and raw rap of this era.. I'm not your ordinary rapper.. You won't hear me rappin about guns, being on the block, or disrespectin women and I'm sure that alot of rappers that do, are just telling lies.. I really can't stand someone who is fake when I can see straight through them...Alot of my music is a backlash or even a diss if you will, against all the fake gangsters of the industry.. Think about it, if you really are out the hustling then why would you waste your time rappin? Also, if you commit all these crimes, why would you talk about it just to incriminate yourself? I think the 2 biggest influences for my music would have to be Big Pun and Big L.. From the first time i heard these 2 rap I was amazed... I couldn't believe my ears and how they could just but words together so easy... I was constantly rewinding the track just to hear what they said again and would always catch things later on that I hadn't heard the first time.. This influences me to want my audience to feel the same way I did when I heard Pun and Big L ...I want my listeners to have to rewind my tracks just to catch something.. This is why many of my tracks are filled with muti-syllable rhymes, lots of metaphors and punchlines... I may not be rappin about guns and killing but I assure you I can be even more raw Also check out my myspace: www.myspace.com/drazt1k412
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My name's Draztyk and I'm 22 years old and was born and raised in Pittsburgh Pa. I started rappin about 4 years ago I began rapping strong but then I got side tracked in my life and put the music on hold. Over the past year I have been gettin back on track and I'm taking my music alot more serious. I've performed over dozens and dozens of shows in the past year and just recently released a compilation cd. The cd was and still is being givin away for free all over the city I funded all the cd's myself in hopes of my music reaching a broader audience and to just get my name out there
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yea I love doin shows..Nothin feels better than that roar of the crowd..I've done shows all over from big to small venues...outdoor venues and even house parties...Always down to do a show where-ever and when-ever.
