AMUEL ELIJAH JOHNSON a. k. a. KZ was born of poverty In The rough projects Of Escambia Arms In Pensacola fl. 1983. After surviving the trials And tribulations of hood life. Kz Felt there was something else he was put on this dirt to do. Besides the average things a human put on this earth would do. He became very fascinated with music at a very young age. He loved the way instruments sounded as they were being played. So as he got older and the years passed. The fascination soon grew stronger. He idolized and learned more about music by also watching videos and being influenced by so many other great artist and performers. Suddenly Kz decided that he was gonna give music a try. Because maybe it was his calling and ticket out of the ghetto. At first it was just a lot of clumsy rhyming words he came up with. That made no sense at all. Not even to him. But as time passed. KZ started too quickly progress. Becoming extremely more lyrical. And also beginning to write with better structure as well as meaning. Despite the many people in his life. That kept telling him“ You Cant Do It” Or Kz that shit is whack” or it doesn’ t sound good” etc. Kz kept his mind focused and stayed determined too one-day make it musically. But he didn’ t want too be just another mainstream come and go artists. Kz wanted history to be made like for people to remember his name after he is gone. He wanted too become a legend like 2pac, B. I. G. Jay-Z, RUN DMC, BIG L, BIG PUN and so many other hip hop greats. Blessed with the gift too not only rap but also sing. Kz now uses this combination sometimes too construct masterpieces as Picasso does. Now 28, Kz has been in The Down Magazine as the best performer in the area. Also included in The Source Magazine. Who stated“ His Lyrics Are Clearly Ready For Mainstream” written by the editor himself after watching kz perform. Kz will also be featured in january edition of hostile magazine
out of BARSTOW CALIFORNIA. As well as DREAM BIG GRIND HARD MAGAZINES February edition with THE REAL RICK ROSS on the cover page. And this magazine is out of PARIS, FRANCE. UP AND DOWN MAGAZINE, MAKING IT BIG MAGAZINE THE PINK EDITION are others just too name a few. WOLF ENTERTAINMENT of SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA was helping KZ with his digital distribution of his hit single“ FACEBOOK WORLD”. Which ranked KZ on the russian international charts as # 2 worldwide on MAKSTV. TV. FACEBOOK WORLD was also done in 2 other languages which were RUSSIAN AND UKRANIAN bygroups 2 rivers and kate margret of WMA RECORDS in russia. There was too be a national radio campaign done too further launch FACEBOOK WORLDS success. But unfortunately, it all fell sour. When KZ realized his song was already being stolen and sold online without his permission or consent. Both WMA and WOLF ENTERTAINMENT was involved in this copyright infringement. So of course KZ departed from both labels and continued too pursue is dream independently. Kz has also had his picture on the front page of the local paper after performing in front of thousands at a summer jam youth event. KZ also left over 4000 youth in tears while performing“ FLY AWAY”. Which is a powerful motivational ballad he wrote too inspire achievement despite your everyday struggles. He was the winner of many Open Mic Competitions.
