| Info: | Aziz Peregrino-Brimah is the artist Zee from East Bend,
North Carolina. Plus he's the founder of Bezworks Design, a
Christian new media development company.
Servant
A Muslim man from Nigeria came to the United States to seek
a higher education. While there he fell in love with an
American woman named Essie. They got married, and in 1975
had a child. They named him Abdul Aziz Peregrino-Brimah,
which means “servant of the powerful, the mighty.” Not
very long after Aziz’s birth, his father took his family
back to Nigeria in hopes of starting a new life.
Culture Shock
Things didn’t go as planned though, because not very long
after, Aziz’s mother experienced a major culture shock. Not
being able to adjust to the Islamic customs or her husband’s
way of living, she became very saddened and homesick, so she
called her mother and told her she was coming home.
Growing Up
Aziz’s parents divorced before he turned one year old.
Growing up without a father was only the beginning for Aziz.
He would eventually experience many things – both good and
bad - and have many questions about life that left him
wanting to know who God was.
Prayer
During his freshman year at Winston-Salem State University,
a depressed Aziz got on the floor in his dorm room and
prayed this prayer:
“Dear God, I believe you exist. I believe that there is a
heaven and a hell. I don’t know you, but I want to know
you. But there are too many religions in this world. Some
say ‘this is the way’ and others say ‘this is the way.’ Who
am I to say which is right? You created me, so I’m asking
you to show me which way to go. From this day forward I am
going to live how I want, and if I die and go to hell it
will be your fault.”
1994
God heard Aziz’s heartfelt prayer. Little did he know, but
God had been working to save him all along - ever since he
was born. Within the next year many things took place that
opened Aziz’s eyes to who Jesus Christ was, and in September
of 1994, at the age of 19 he confessed Jesus as Lord of his
life. Aziz was now a born-again Christian, and is at the
present moment the only one on his father’s side of the
family who is not a Muslim.
Seasoned
Now after twelve years of knowing and serving the Lord, you
have Zee – a seasoned Christian who has found out that above
all other things, the only thing that truly matters is
“where will you spend your life for eternity?”
Lost Focus
Unlike many other artists, Zee has a unique way of painting
pictures with his words that bring your heart and mind into
the music. “The Lord led me to into the rap game because too
many of his children have lost focus, and as a result, many
souls are lost and left blind.”
Person
Zee believes that his music has the power to appeal to the
saved as well as the unsaved: “People know when they’re
listening to someone who means what they say. That’s what
people are looking for. They’re looking for someone to
point them to truth. If they feel you have the truth, they
will listen. I know I have the truth. Truth is a person,
Jesus Christ.”
Name
Zee states about his name: "Simply put, it’s just easier
for people to say and remember. You saw his name,
right?"
Awards
At the Carolina Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards 2007 he won
the "Rap Ministers of the Year NC" award. NC being North
Carolina.
