Breaking between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta with an undeniable, incomparable delivery, HaZiQ’s brand of “U-Can-Do-It! Music” captures the listener’s ear for an audible tutorial of self-esteem, with a business 101 twist. Alongside business partner-in-rhyme Tabi Bonney, HaZiQ is forging a new rap renaissance built on thoughtful lyrics that won’t abandon up-beat, party tempos.
