▓░░█ ░ RELEASE NOTES ▄▄▄▄▀▀▀
░ █ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ █
█ Didier Elly Mbilizi a.k.a. OFFICIAL was born 1988 █
█ October 23rd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Raised in █
█ RICHFIELD amungst a diverse culture of Jamaican █
█ and African ethnicities and influenced by NEW █
█ YORK CITY, he discovered his passion for art and █
█ basketball. His father was mostly absent, leaving █
█ his 2 brothers, sister, and mother to raise him. █
█ At a young age, he obtained the mind of an older █
█ person. Taking sides to his older brother Ryan, █
█ he clinged to rap music as his "get away" from █
█ life. Not a day went by without music in his █
█ daily routine. The older he became, the more █
█ interested he became in music. Taking lessons by █
█ early artist LL Cool J, Bone-Thugz n' Harmony, █
█ B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Method Man, Nas, Outkast, █
█ Goodie Mob, Wu-Tang, Eminem, Jay-Z, DMX, and etc. █
█ As life continued, life continued to get harder. █
█ His oldest brother, which he looked up to, was in █
█ jail for drug possession and his father became █
█ more distant. He used his house hold hardships as █
█ motivation and drive to be on top of his class in █
█ school and focus on basketball. His teachers and █
█ mother became concerned with his emotional █
█ behavior in school. Anger boiled as he continued █
█ to get older. He found God and music found him in █
█ his 13th year of life. Rap music found him. He █
█ wrote lyrics that hit close to home and used it █
█ as his medicine. He became OFFICIAL. His lyrical █
█ ability was flawless for his age. Using the █
█ knowledge he learned in life and school, he was █
█ rapping before his time. He started rapping with █
█ a couple of friends from junior high school and █
█ began recording out of a closet. After his █
█ endeavours to make it as a young rapper failed, █
█ he clinged back to basketball. To make life more █
█ difficult at a young age, his brother was almost █
█ killed and his father was diagnosed with lung █
█ cancer and died before he entered high school. He █
█ then went back to rap music to calm him self. █
█ Never did he record until he entered his Junior █
█ year at Richfield High School where he still █
█ attends. Linking up with MYSTRO █
█ (producer/engineer) and ILL CONCEPT RECORDS in █
█ 2005. He recorded his first solo song at IPR █
█ studios downtown MPLS. At the time, he still took █
█ rap as a hobby and nothing near a career. He kept █
█ recording more and more tracks and developed his █
█ character. So here he is 10 months and acouple █
█ thousand dollars later releasing his first album. █
█ Produced by Mystro, Passion, J.MOSS, Conrizzle, █
█ ILL, and PROfound. With only three features he █
█ carries a 20 track album at 17 years old. Hanging █
█ up his basketball shoes and holding up the title █
█ to be the new era of MINNESOTA music, it is █
█ FINALLY OFFICIAL (title of his debute album). Rap █
█ was always there but now it is his career. Mystro █
█ is currently working on putting OFFICIAL on the █
█ map as well as Minnesota. Clearly together, they █
█ are the talent of this State among many and █
█ continue to prove critics wrong. █
