Raffael Lamarr

Amidst the dense foliage of Evergreen trees of the Northwest, lurks a being that most have only thought of as being only a myth. Hes been said to have been seen and at a blink of an eye, hes gone into the wilderness. There have been many photographs taken in attempt to prove his existence but still, concrete evidence of his being has yet to be founded. We have heard of the giant footprints in the Northwest, but this phenomenon has yet to make his mark on the world, MUSICWISE... Musicwise?... Thats right, with Sasquatch type beats and a flavorful music background, Raffael Lamarr(MiZtah Zelle) is ready to put a Bigfoot down on the map with his Yard-Fulla-Bonez Entertainment Group!! Raffael made his national debut on the Cold Rock Records album the DCP ORGANIZATION album in 1993 which was distributed by Ichiban. The single Niggaz From Da Boneyard received a lot of attention. But his musical history goes much much deeper than that. In 1985 when the New York City Breakers traveled to Tacoma, Washington to battle the High Performance Breakers at the Tacoma Dome, he performed onstage with the infamous T-LaRock, Sparkey Dee with D.J. Louie Lou, and Greg Nice of Nice and Smooth (7 years before the group emerged). In 1986 he was one of the founders of the Def City Rockers, which eventually became The D.C.P. Posse, which became The D.C.P. Organization. This crew, known for rockin all parties from Portland to Canada, spawned such Hip-Hop acts as Criminal Nation, Wojack, Drekno, and many more. In 1996 MiZtah Zelle produced his Northwest Underground classic, I gotta Yard-Fulla-Bonez Vol. I Compilation. In 1997 he was a featured artist on the Northwests HOMEGROWN Album with the singles Situationz On The Grind & The Alley. Not only is he a Qualified Emcee, but a producer as well. His musical interests are as diverse as one could possibly imagine. Being raised on mostly Gospel at his uncles church in which his mother was choir director, Rhythm & Blues that his aunts and uncles listened to, to the Jazz albums his grandpa used to quiz him on daily, it is no wonder that this artist has something that most Rap artists dont have... Musical Appreciation. After moving to a small town in which there were few blacks, MiZtah Zelles musical interests grew further than ever expected. The sounds of the 80s Hard Rock that all of his friends at that time grew on him. I always listened to music with an open mind as well as open ears. A lot of my Hip-Hop oriented homies trip off me when they come to my house and I got Rush or Def Leppard pumpin out my stereo. I love all music and my production skills show it. We (D.C.P.) were the first in the Northwest to combine Rock with Rap when we sampled Tom Sawyer by Rush, and when M.C. Deff (Wojack) used Iron Man by AC/DC at the Black Festival in Seattle back in 1987. When Criminal Nation started yelling 206 at shows nationwide back in 1990, we knew we were pioneering something but we werent sure what. So what I do now is take all this experience, history and wisdom, and use it to the fullest. My entertainment company is about to breakdown all the stereotypes we Northwest Artists get hit with. Its time for me to take it further to a whole new level. Most recent projects include the Playaz Pain Soundtrack, the I Gotta Yard-Fulla-Bonez Compilation Vol. II and his Long Awaited Debut Solo Album "Don't Try This At Home. Keep an eye and ear open for the Northwests best kept secret!
