Originally from the West Suburbs of Chicago (Oak Park), Illinois. 4-IZE uses every letter and every word as a verbal weapon in his battle to reach success in the music industry. His glasses are used as his third eye to see his way through the world. 4-IZE took what was once an insult in his childhood years, and uses it as his ‘moniker’. It serves as a constant reminder of how he learned self-confidence in his struggle to be an individual.
4-IZE began rapping in 1991 with his first group known as the LOUDMOUTH HOOLIGANS; a group that included Ludacris. They began performing at local hometown events, talent competitions and record company sponsored showcases. In 1999, 4-IZE relocated to Atlanta, GA in order to further his musical career. Hip-Hop fans have already experienced a taste of 4-IZE’s lyrical abilities on both 3X Platinum albums by Def Jam South recording artist, Ludacris. 4-IZE was a major contributor to the phenomenal album sales of Back for the First Time-2000 and Word of Mouf-2001. 4-IZE is set to release his debut album Fantastik 4-IZE in the 2007. 4-IZE is still an UNSIGNED INDEPENDENT artist with major industry affiliation, and a strong underground following worldwide.
