| Info: | Jahaziel from south London releases his debut album "Ready
To Live" in 2007. About his music the MC says: "It's about
love. Love for God, love for mankind and love for music."
Featuring
To date, Jahaziel has built a name for himself in the
underground United Kingdom music scene making guest
appearances on the hits of others. Some of those that have
had the opportunity to feature Jahaziel in their work
include Lemar, Craig David, US R&B singer Monica, Stacie
Orrico, Four Kornerz, Nina Jayne, Nathan Prime and Raymond &
Co. He also made a guest appearance on two tracks for Daniel
Bedingfield's platinum-selling and Grammy nominated album
Gotta Get Thru This (2002).
Stage Performances
He has appeared on stage with many of those artists plus
other notables like Kim Burrell and platinum-selling United
States Gospel artist Kirk Franklin. For an extensive period
he was the choice rapper for leading UK production outfit
Blacksmith before stepping out to begin creating his own
path. He has also featured heavily on the live circuit,
which included co-founding the London Hip Hop collective
Zion Noiz.
Style
Jahaziel represents an explosive mix of hard-hitting rhymes
and captivating stage-craft that enables his message through
Hip Hop to make it's mark with any audience. But thats only
the start. His additional influence may come as a surprise
for some when they hear Jahaziel twist the script,
reggae/dancehall style.
Reggae
Owing to a Jamaican bloodline and musical input from his
Uncle Maxi Priest, Jahaziel is no stranger to the notion of
sound systems and reggae culture. Add to that his upbringing
in multi-cultural London, its safe to say that this rapper
is guaranteed to bring a fresh approach to the worldwide hip
hop game.
Music
He incorporates elements of all his experiences to produce
music that not only impacts musical taste buds but acts as a
positive force to the effect of giving listeners something
to think about.
Nominations: MOBO
Jahaziel is nominated for a MOBO award in the category "Best
Gospel" for the 2007 ceremony. The MOBO (Music of Black
Origine) Awards is launched in 1996 as the first black
awards show in Europe. The show is held in London, United
Kingdom.
MOBO Awards
The second year in 2008 the artist could bring the MOBO
award home for "Best Gospel" in 2008.
Video "In My Neighbourhood"
Jahaziel is proud to present his video "In My Neighbourhood"
(2009), an anti-gun crime track in which he challenges the
cause and effects of this reality, while confronting
mentalities and perceptions surrounding this issue. Born and
bred in South London, Jahaziel echoes the facts of
inner-city life, combining personal knowledge from his own
past experiences with the events now witnessed in the
community.
The video premiered at BET Networks in the United States,
United Kingdom and Africa on Easter Sunday April 12th 2009,
and will be on rotation on MTV, Channel U, Flava and all
other Media and TV Networks.
This is a major development for Jahaziel who will be working
on a string of projects with BET.
