Born with a God given talent for music in general, the Los Angeles raised M.C. Bizzle (born Mark J. Felder) wrote his first rap verse at no older than 8 years old and also started writing R&B around that same time. He, now at 26 years old, has 18 years under his belt as a writer and the experience shows in his sound and versatility.
Between the years 2004-2008 Bizzle released L.A.V. Mixtapes Vol. 1-5 in Southern California. He then released Dirty West Mixtapes 1 and 2 with 360 Records in Houston TX, and went back to CA to release his biggest yet, “Certified Mixtape”. In 2005 he was offered a deal by 360 Records out of Houston and declined. Two years later he was offered a deal by Barry Hankerson to sign with Blackground/Universal, but he also declined that offer. He’s also put on many successful shows as the headliner and opened up for artists like Lil Wayne, Juelz Santana, Lil Boosie, and more. He’s also worked with platinum producer Chink Santana, Darock Ramos, Stack Bundles, Lil Eazy E, Roccett from CTE, Dirty Birdy,Pretty Willie aka P-Dub, Mouthpi3ce, Chino XL, Twank Star from Nappy Boy, and many more including a compilation project feat. Ne-Yo, The Game, Nelly, David Banner, T.I., Akon, and many more.Bizzle spent 3 years preparing his debut album “Grind Pays”. With multiple singles gaining momentum, his myspace plays quickly reached over 500,000.With his street buzz in the Los Angeles and I.E. areas and his success on myspace, the expectations for the album were big, but God had bigger plans for Bizzle. In 2008 Bizzle started attending church more frequently and his realtionship with God grew even stronger. As a result of this he felt he needed to take his music in a new direction. In January 2010 he released the track “You Got Some Explaining to Do”, a song directed towards Jay-Z, calling him out on his negative references towards Jesus in his raps; which caused a lot of contraversy. The buzz was bigger that he could have ever imagined. After continuesly being called the “Christian Rapper” that dissed Jay Z, Bizzle deceided that he wanted to continue his movement to bring Glory to Christ through his music. He realeased his first Christian Mixtape entitiled “The Messenger” in March of 2010. “The Messenger” was a huge success, receiveing over 50,000 downloads and creating an even bigger buzz on the internet, with his views on Worldstarhiphop.com, Allhiphop.com, Mediatakeout.com, Bossip.com, youtube.com, etc…totaling well over 1 million. He currently resides in Houston Texas where he is preparing for the release of “The Messenger 2″ mixtape due out in June, as well as working with producers Beanz N Kornbread (Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, and more) and Cameron Wallace (Beyonce’s “Upgrade You” Feat. Jay-Z) on his untitled debut album. Bizzle has done countless interviews on websites and radio shows such as Kingdomswag.com, Dasouth.com, Holla-Fest radio, itmlive radio, G1 Magazine, NFormD TV just to name a few. He was also invited to perform at one of the largest music festivals in the United States, the South by Southwest 2010 Music Festival and Conference in Austin, TX., but he has bigger plans for 2010.

Hop up in the whip lil homie
We gon' take a ride around the block
I see you Steph Curry with the shot
Finna put the ball down,
Get to working with the rock
I see your homeboy T gettin' money out here
19 with the nice whip
Telling you to school for the dummy
Bus a move for the money
You can come and get a nice shift
Whip up the work
Get up then flip up and get what you're worth
Chip up then brick up then here come dessert
Big cake, everyday your birthday
And it come with perks
You been tryna do the right thing
Spike Lee
He done fell in love with the coco
Iced tea
He done got to playing with the majors
Right keys
Feeling like he winning and you ain't, huh
I see
Winning for a minute, I guess
But you ain't done living life yet
Right now you would love to trade places
He gone feel the same in a minute, I bet
Had him in the whip last week
Told him what I'm telling you
See the fiend that he with
He a opp
And the chick?
She a cop
He was on top, now he gettin' locked
I know it look dope now
Hunnit guns hunnit subs in your profile
Just to let a hater know it could go down
And nothing sweet round here so you don't smile
Let em know you ain't food to the folk
Bus a move,never know what you would do
To them folk
Come at you and you be waiting on the roof for them folk
Meas around, spend your whole life proving
To folk
You say you ride for respect
You willing to die for respect
But you got a little girl you should die
To protect
Who gone look out for her if you die
Your respect?
Tryna get you looking at the big pic
That feeling, when you winning
It be lit lit
Hit a lit, turn a prick to a quick fix
Rap got jail feeling like a picnic
You think im tryna sell right now?
My own bro in the cell doing twelve right now
Told him what I'm telling you
Did the hook 'fore we took a deal
Otherwise it could've been 22
Bizzle's song "22" speaks about a young man who was doing well but got involved with the wrong crowd and started making bad decisions. The opening lines reveal that the man was doing well a week ago but has since run into legal trouble. The chorus repeats the phrase "22," likely as a reference to the man's age. The second verse reveals that the man has fallen in love with cocaine and is now in trouble with the law. The song's overall message is that making poor decisions and getting involved with the wrong people can lead to consequences that are difficult to overcome.

I'm a 65 year old woman and I love Bizzle. His music and belief in God gives me hope for the youth that he is trying to save. I praise his courage to go against the mainstream rappers and say exactly how it is.
