Release Notes:
When you listen to Quiz you may not hear the sounds of struggle,
but it's there. You won't hear a lot of crying about hard times,
but he's been through them. Not just your average
daddy-wasn't-there-so-I had-to-sell-drugs-to-feed-my-family kind
of hard times but the kind that really can make a person angry;
angry at the word, angry at God, but somehow Quiz has managed to
not only survive his obstacles but made himself a better person
by having conquered them.
Quiz was two years old when he was diagnosed with the rare,
life-threatening disease called billiaeratrosia. The damage to
his liver was so severe a transplant was needed. He got his
transplant and though some didn't expect him to reach his 5th
birthday, he's had a successful childhood doing television
commercials and print work.
By age nine he had caught the bug for hip hop. His father, who
managed a local record shop, would bring home instrumentals for
Quiz to practice writing his lyrics to. As time went by, Quiz
continued to hone his skills and by junior high school, he had
already graduated from the playground ciphers to performing in
clubs and local talent shows. He suddenly found himself being
approached by managers, producers and major labels all wanting to
work with him. Things were looking pretty good.....until.
In the summer of 1999 Quiz was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. He had
contracted it from a blood tranfussion he received during his
liver transplant. While his mother grew increasingly worried and
emotional about the situation, it was was Quiz, the oldest of her
four children, that found the deeper meaning and purpose behind
it all. "That's when I knew I had a reason for being here. I told
my mom not to worry because I'm not finished. I'm barely getting
started" recalls Quiz.
Undeterred, he resumed pursuing his music career. This time with
even more determination and fervor. Though born and raised in Los
Angles, the 21 year old lyricist is certainly not limited with a
provincial sound. He wants to make the kind of music that is felt
universally. Afterall, what's the point in having a story to tell
if the nobody's around to hear it.
Track 10 "MY BLOCK RMX" is not on the cd, there is only 16 cuts even thou it says 17......
ENJOY!!!!
