O.Z

Everybody is asking about this prodigy out of Miami, Florida. Not since Lil Wayne, has someone so young, demanded so much attention from so many influential people in this industry. So lets take the journey down the road of O.Z.



O.Z. was born in Jacksonville, FL and raised by his mother and older sister. By the age of 6 O.Z. found himself in a new neighborhood down in Miami, Carol City, FL. His 1st dream was to be a basketball player which by the age of 8 became secondary. Between the 8 - 13 O.Z. was outside freestyling with the best in his neighborhood soon catching the eye of a close associate of Trick Daddy.



Being singed at 13 years old by Trick Daddy/Slip n Slide Records can create a hype but that hype got shut down when I unfortunate death happened and O.Z.'s mother pulled her son out of his deal. Still perfecting his craft never loosing sight of what he wants O.Z. kept writing and freestyling. At the age of 15 O.Z. rode to a studio session with his cousin and was asked to freestyle, O.Z. blew everybody away. In the studio was Jermaine Robinson CEO of High Capacity Management. Jermaine asked O.Z. to come back and eventually sign O.Z. to a management contract. Once under High Capacity O.Z. was in the studio working with producers who had solidified placements with artists such as 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Juelz Santana, Lil Wayne, etc.
In just 2 years under High Capacity Management, O.Z. dropped 3 mixtapes and found himself working with Terror Squads own Fat Joe and landed placements on Fat Joe's last two albums the 2008 album release "Elephant In The Room"(What Chu Got ft Rick Ross & O.Z.) and the 2009 album release "J.O.S.E.2"(Put YA In Da Game ft. T-Pain & O.Z.) So as you can see O.Z. is no stranger to dedication and hard work. O.Z. continues to remain in the studio working.



Even Vin Rock, of Legendary Hip Hop group, Naughty by Nature, took a liking to Miami's own 19 year old Hip Hop sensation O.Z. "Of all the hip hop artists I've come across in my career, O.Z. was the first to remind me of when my group first started." States Vinnie of Naughty By Nature. He continued to say "O.Z. is the hardest working artist under 21 in the 305, as a matter of fact ALL of FLORIDA!"



With his 4th mixtape "Destine For Greatness", O.Z. has countless hits under his belt and can hold his own with the industries heavyweights.
