St Laz:
http://www.myspace.com/stlazpottersfield

Hailing from Brownsville Brooklyn,one of the most notorious sections of New York City, St. Laz has managed to independently create for himself a name much worthy of mention in the world of hip-hop music. Consistently bullying mixtapes with his distinguished lyricism and wit, pumping out quality videos seemingly every other week, managing to be heard on commercial radio(even played by some of the biggest djs in New York i.e Kay Slay, Green Lantern, Whoo Kid, Marley Marl), and becoming what many consider to be "the king of the internet". You will find music from St. Laz on almost every major website online, from mtv.com and allhiphop.com to hiphopgame.comand hiphopdx.com. Wherever you go, you will hear, see and feel the St.Laz presence. With no major label assistance or major artist's co-sign, St. Laz has his own bag of tricks for the music industry. Collaborating with established artists such as Styles P, Sheek Louch, Joel Ortiz, Sean Price and Kool G. Rap to name a few, it becomes obvious that St. Laz is well respected by his peers, "What separates me from a whole sea of other rappers is that I'm not trying to get a deal, I make music because I was born to be a rapper, not because I want to see myself on TV and be cool". Continuously fighting the fight for independent artists everywhere, St. Laz is steadily showing the world how good music and hot artists can bring their music to the forefront of the "the game" on their own. "We gotta learn to think outside the box, long gone are the days when you had to buy a cd sold in a major record store chain to hear some hot music,hot music is all over the internet now,seek and ye shall find." After doing six years in the confines of New York's state prison system, St. Laz says "I thank the higher power everyday that I'm out here in these streets with the opportunity to make progress and provide for myself, family, friends and loved ones. As a black man (especially one from the ghetto) any day can be your last out here,when you get that second chance in life,you have to cherish it forever."

Obese was raised on music since the day he left the womb. From Hip-Hop to Classic Rock, Blues to Heavy Metal, music is in his veins. "I've been doin' this since 1996 and have no plans to stop." 'Bese went on to say, "I look forward to every time I get to bless the microphone with my vocals. This is my poetry. This is my release. This is my life. The way I see it, this is what I was put here to do. Whether I'm in the mood to spit somethin' deep or somethin' to get the spot movin', you can guarantee I'm gonna put my heart and soul into it."
