QWAZAAR:

Hailing from a place known for its segregated neighborhoods, shiest politicians and bitter cold streets, it’s easy to see where the Southside Chi representative bares his blade from. Each syllable cut’s through, not asking, demanding to be heard. However, the energetic self-proclaimed letter bender doesn’t specialize in 'Emcee Overkill’. Instead Qwazaar displays a unique control over tones, rhythm and wordplay that’s been non-existent in today’s top music playlists.
"One of the most versatile Emcees to emerge from the city of Chicago..."

As a member of the popular quintuplet "Typical Cats", Qwazaar sharpened his edge. If that wasn’t enough, his release with the genre bending group OuterLimitz, entitled "Suicide Prevention", drove the point home.

Songs like "A Dream Distorted" in which the Emcee states "We’re hoping to see our sons(suns) grow older/ but each summer grows colder/ used to go to school with headphones on, blindfolded/ cause the world around fucked my mind over…" shows his collaboration with producer Silence entitled "Dirty Digital" can only solidify his position as a premiere Emcee/songwriter with the rare ability to translate those songs, on stage, in the form of a raw, impactful and powerful live Hip Hop performance.
