OlaZee [real name - Olanrewaju Larry Lawal, pronounced as Ola-Zee] is a song-writer and a
student at one of the universities in Canada, who originally hails from Ogun
State, but grew up and lived in the Oil
City, Warri, Delta state since the tender age of 4; he had his primary and high school education at Warri, after
which he went to Canada for further education. Sparking up interest for musical
expression started from his family home where he grew up with his parents who
are big fans of good, entertaining music; he got accustomed to the Nigerian and
African music scene in general, listening to great acts like Fela,
Pasuma,
Obesere,
Wasiu
Ayinde, Lagbaja, Vybz Kartel, D'banj, Movado,
Sinzu
and all other great likes, and soon fell in love with music ever since. While
growing up, OlaZee was one of those
kids who settle down to listen, write and practice the lyrics of some of his favourite
American Hip-Hop acts during his
leisure time.
At a tender age of 16,
OlaZee already started making music,
doing basic Rap freestyles on
instrumentals and recording himself on a laptop; he learnt the basics and
structures of composing and delivering on a track with energy all by himself
and used to be known as Larry Boy from way back. Fast
forward a few years later, he decided to go into a professional studio, to
experiment his talent; he learnt a lot working with studio producers and music
experts at such a young age and a few months later, after recording and
gathering a compilation of demos, he later on realized his uniqueness and
originality in his type of music. Ever since then, OlaZee described his kind of music as Afro-Hop, a mixture of Afro-Dancehall
and Hip-Hop, with a blend of English,
Pidgin English and Yoruba lyrics.
Currently working with
Magic
City Records producer, Frankie Free, he decides to let out
this offering titled "Everyday Is A
Holiday", alongside the Chimbaleen-produced "Money & Efizzy". On "Money & Efizzy", OlaZee displays his dexterity on the Afro-Hop infusion with catchy lyrics and
verses which sprout creativity as he delivers the right sound for such an
excellent vibe whilst on "Everyday
Is A Holiday", he teams up with the South-South heavyweight producer, Frankie
Free, to deliver a party tune with energetic flows.
According to OlaZee, most of his beats are sent to
him via e-mail and recorded professionally by himself, then sent back for
mixing via e-mail as well based on the fact that he is currently an unsigned
artiste, having no access to a studio in Canada that will provide his Afro-Hop sound; he says: "I know I have the talent, I just want the opportunity
to make the highlights; lyrics is all I write, music is what I love and do - I
am here to steady preserve and unleash my uniqueness”.
He springs up lines
like “money in the bank and I am not a banker, and now I am a ruler ruling
like Obama, na based on my mula some say I be fraudster. I nor even get maga,
boys con de anger dem say I too de swagga" and “Jaguda
level like say I get blog site, I’m NotJustOk, I’m absolutely alright”;
the artwork for this material was duly rendered by graphixED.
