Thanks for joining LaSuria Kandi Allman as she welcomes HipHop Artist, Ozzie Brasco to the Hotseat Underground.
Ozzie Brasco began rapping at the age of 12. As he grew older, he continued with music and felt successful in 2004 when "Breathe Easy", a song with his former crew Ablaze, landed on the desk of Sony.
Legal issues prevented Ozzie from taking advantage of his opportug gx, xnity back then, but when he came home, he hit the pavement full throttle! With a name change from Odin Skillz to Ozzie Brasco (given to him inx the penitentiary), and a crew name change from Ablaze to Major Issue, the three brothers dropped No Sacrifice, No Victory in 2010, which garnered attention from power house crew Young Money/Cash Money.
Times change, and people grow apart, so as the crew split up to explore other ventures in life, Ozzie stayed doing what he loved, music!!! In 2011, he and a group of friends formed M.A.D.E. or Money All Day Everyday.
Commonxvly referred to as M.A.D.E. Gang, Ozzie jumped in the captains chair and released his first solo mixtape, The Day The Earth Stood Still, in 2013. Since then, Ozzie and the team have been consistently doing shows and working on new music. With his album, Rise To Power, set to drop July 4th, and The Contender slated to drop later this year, we're looking forward to many big things from Ozzie Brasco and M.A.D.E. #YouKnowDaSetName
What city and state did you grow up in?
Lansing
