    └────────┘

     A gifted MC and outspoken critic of commercial hip-hop, Elzhi began
     his career rubbing shoulders with Waajeed, Dwele, and the other
     gifted Detroit artists involved in the city's flourishing late-90's
     underground hip-hop scene. After an appearance on Jay Dee's
     groundbreaking 2001 album "Welcome 2 Detroit", Elzhi joined the
     producer's crew, Slum Village. With Jay Dee spending more time with
     other artists, Elzhi became the producer's replacement, beginning
     with the group's 2002 effort "Trinity (Past, Present And Future)".

     Two more albums from the group - 2004's "Detroit Deli (A Taste Of
     Detroit)" plus a self-titled effort in 2005 - appeared before Elzhi
     began focusing on his solo career with the 2008 release "The
     Preface". He reunited with Slum Village for a 2010 LP, "Villa
     Manifesto", although one fellow Villager, Baatin, died before its
     release. An array of hip-hop luminaries appeared on the album,
     including Posdnuos, Phife Dawg, Little Brother, Dwele, and DJ Babu.

     "Villa Manifesto" was Elzhi's last with the group, however. He
     sprang back into solo action with a mixtape, "Elmatic", conceived as
     a tribute to Nas' "Illmatic"; eLZhi wrote all the rhymes while Will
     Sessions produced. A Kickstarter campaign helped fund his next
     venture, "Lead Poison", released in 2016.

     The 'syllable sensei', is back again with a highly anticipated
     release titled "Seven Times Down Eight Times Up", This 12-track LP
     is a collage of memories and metaphors layered atop beats crafted by
     up-and-coming producer JR Swiftz. With collabs from Detroit artists,
     Monica Blaire and Fes Rock on two of the album's stand-out tracks,
     Elzhi's new masterpiece showcases his ability to create meaningful
     concepts while Detroit's own comedian and 'Real Hip Hop Advocate'
     Foolish provides commentary throughout the album.

     As one of ElzhiÆs most cohesive releases to date, his wordsmithing
     abilities paint images of royalty, excellence, and zombies wearing
     Gucci, all with an underlying message of resilience. "Seven times
     Down Eight Times Up" is the mantra for a year that has seen lots of
     'downs', and reminds us that no matter what we're faced with, we
     will remain undefeated, and get back up after being knocked down by
     this machete-wielding maniac we call 'life'.
