Repping Ezzie B!

Born Eziaku Ogbonna in Abia State, Ezzie B is a multi-talented artist who is an excellent rapper, poet, and performer. Ezzie who describes herself as having the “body of a model, and mind of a hustler” appeals to people of diverse backgrounds as she was born in Nigeria, but raised in the States. She has learned to merge both her African and American heritage in order to create awesome music. Ezzie’s music genre cannot be placed into just one category because her style is so versatile that she dabbles in different avenues from poetry to rap to singing; describes her target audience as “anyone who walks to the beat of life’s iambic pentameter.”

Not only is Ezzie B musically talented (she also plays the flute, piano and is learning the guitar), the young lady is also trilingual and incredibly intelligent. Ezzie who now resides in the United States is a jack of a couple of trades, and a master at both; Ezzie B who has dobbed herself the “Pharm Artist” finds time to balance her careers both as a musician and also as a Pharm.D Candidate at the University of Maryland where she is studying for her Doctor of Pharmacy Degree; the chick is beauty, flow and brains! When asked how she manages to find balance and exercise proper time management with both her music and pharmacy career, she replied, “Music is my first love and pharmacy is an arranged marriage. I am not monogamous, but I am faithful.”

Ezzie is also known for her sick blogisodes and freestyles; she has generated a lot of buzz for the freestyle that she laid out on the DJ Zeez Fokasibe track. She was also one of the femcees featured on the “Show Yourself” track alongside Zara, Nyja, Naira, and Felyne. Furthermore, Ms. Ezzie B is a seasoned MC, she has worked with the likes of Iceberg Slim, Perico White, Kel, Gucci Wally Wa, and DJs DeeMoney and Jimmy Jatt, just to name a few.

Ezzie also knows how to draw inspiration for her art from her true life experiences. For example, “Sister” is about her best friend who passed on to glory while “I’m a soldier” is an inspirational song in which she tells her fans to keep on going, working hard and proving their doubters wrong.

Ezzie B is already hard at work on her upcoming LP and is looking forward to continuing future projects with her Afrigang Family, and producers such as KidKonnect, Ex-O, Xela, Sazzy and a few others. She is looking forward to newer collaborations with artists that she has previously worked with and would love to work with more groundbreaking and up and coming artists and producers in the industry.

Due to her school schedule and a recent opportunity to further develop her project, her official album release date has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2010.

She’s definitely an artist to watch out for now and in the upcoming years!
