"What's life? Life is a series of events, a series of choices which lead to different consequences. Life is pain in order to feel joy, life is love in order to feel hate. Life is betrayal, life is loyalty."
Willie Maze
Born in Queens, N.Y. to Dominican immigrants Willie Maze fell in love with hip hop at a young age. From watching the older heads break dancing on the streets of Corona and trying to emulate them to writing down the raps of early hip hop artist and bragging that they were his own. A hip hop marriage was formed that would plant the early seeds for what we now know as Crown City.
Thru a chance meeting and actually a case of mistaken identity Maze linked up with Frank Diggs a well known producer from the same hood. From early on it was evident that these two were going to make a lot of noise on the scene. It was a perfect fit like a glove on a hand. Also by chance thru a mutual acquaintance he was introduced to Chamiliani a young hungry emcee from the same hood who would then introduce him to Trujillo and Suhar forming the nucleus for what we now know as Crown City Records.
Willie Maze's formula is keeping it simple, bringing you that corner bodega hip hop. From his tales of family hardship to just doing feel good music. Willie Maze is an emcee's emcee. From doing park jams in Astoria Pj's to being recognized by Bobbito the Barber on the infamous Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito radio show "as a joy to listen to..." Maze is a seasoned veteran. Play ball.......
