Description 
With his seamless combination of jaw-dropping rhymes, infectious hooks and head- nodding beats, rising Los Angeles rapper SOZAY is invading the scene with is debut EP titled Who Is Sozay? out now via his own independent imprint. SOZAY is now in the midst of a U. S. tour supporting hip-hop veterans House of Pain alongside Big B. and Slaine. SOZAY’s highly anticipated debut full length album BLACK SEPTEMBER is due in September 2011. “A versatile rhyme-slinger who can balance creative wordplay (“You fish couldn’t school me in an aquarium”) with hard-hitting delivery, Sozay does his childhood heroes proud on this debut release. “Last Call” is a worthy club banger, and “So L.A.” racks up an entertaining string of hometown shoutouts, but the real tour de force is “Guerrilla Warfare,” a jaw-dropping, gazillion-bar freestyle set to a dizzying string of unlicensed samples that name-checks everyone from David Hasselhoff to Prince to Seabiscuit (Churchill Downs represent!). He’s heading out on tour this month with House of Pain—those dudes had better bring their A-game, or Sozay’s going to steal every show.” --Andy Hermann, METRO MIX (March 11, 2011)
