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, โCertified Mixtapeโ. 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. Heโs also put on many successful shows as the headliner and opened up for artists like Lil Wayne, Juelz Santana, Lil Boosie, and more. Heโs 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 โGrind Paysโ. 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 โYou Got Some Explaining to Doโ, 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 โChristian Rapperโ 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 โThe Messengerโ in March of 2010. โThe Messengerโ 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, etcโฆtotaling well over 1 million. He currently resides in Houston Texas where he is preparing for the release of โThe Messenger 2โณ mixtape due out in June, as well as working with producers Beanz N Kornbread (Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, and more) and Cameron Wallace (Beyonceโs โUpgrade Youโ 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.

It's Bizzle
God over money
Let's get it
They sayin hip-hop's dead, let it die
This the birth of truth music, the death of lies
God over money, I rap 24/7 boy act like (you know, you know).
Call nine uno uno, then get them boys new clothes.
So act like (you know, you know, you know).
So act like (you know, you know).
What are we doin listenin to this music,
got me feelin to lose it.
You've been given the voice and you just abuse it.
Most of what you are spewing is useless.
Coupes with the roof missin, a few bricks, and a loose grip and a two spittin and you dissin?
(Yo, check this out) no you listen.
Y'all gonna have to cook that crack you pitchin in a new kitchen.
So you say the rap game like the crack game, huh, true indeed.
But hold up, if you the dealer, then who the fiend?
I'm hearin you on't your own kids hear your music, but it's cool if everybody else kids listen to it.
The name Bizzle, God over money is the movement.
Bread will never influence the direction we steady usin.
A hundred rappers like, "Oo, get em."
A couple rappers will listen and feel I'm dissin cause the shoe fit em.
But if you fit a pair, homie you can get a pair.
The shoe won't change unless your feet do, get it clear.
They sayin hip-hop's dead, let it die.
This the birth of truth music, the death of lies.
God over money, I rap 24/7 boy act like (you know, you know).
Call nine uno uno, then get them boys new clothes.
The game gotta change homie (you know, you know, you know).
So act like (you know, you know, you know).
So act like (you know, you know).
What are we facin, stuck with a bum reputation for smugglin drugs, pimpin, and thuggin in front of the nation.
A white boy shave his head, you think he a racist.
So if you tatted don't get mad when they think you a gangster.
We all profile, homie, the only difference is most of they point of reference are naked of images.
You throw a pair of glasses on they figure you smart.
You throw a rag on and cats gon figure you hard.
But hold up, what if in every movie you saw, the killers wore the glasses and the rags meant that you soft.
So if you not black and you rarely interact with us, rap will have you swearin we're strapped to keep crack with us.
So how you get mad at the stereotype of believin a lie without gettin mad at the liars.
And I ain't sayin the stereotypin isn't dumb, but if you mad at him then be mad at the one he gets it from.
They sayin hip-hop's dead, let it die.
This the birth of truth music, the death of lies.
God over money, I rap 24/7 boy act like (you know, you know).
Call nine uno uno, then get them boys new clothes.
The game gotta change homie (you know, you know, you know).
So act like (you know, you know, you know).
So act like (you know, you know).
They like Bizzle why you tryin a tear a black man down?
Who you think controllin how that black man sound?
Like, they'll never listen if we tell them kill each other.
But it's one a poison a milli I bet they feel each other.
Just overlook the doctors and the lawyers of they people.
Then take all they criminals and put them in the lead role.
Turn the drug dealer from the villain to the hero.
We don't keep em down we just keep em anger thief floor.
Do promote sex, but don't promote commitment.
Have them burning in the hood like a locomotive engine.
Tell the boys women ain't nothing, but hoes and tricks, then let the women raise them alone, they will never listen.
Promote sinnin as a better way of living til they so in love with it they'll go against their religion.
You take away Christ then you take away hope.
Got a deal, here's a Bentley for your soul. Who wanna roll?
They sayin hip-hop's dead, let it die.
This the birth of truth music, the death of lies.
God over money, I rap 24/7 boy act like (you know, you know).
Call nine uno uno, then get them boys new clothes. The game gotta change homie (you know, you know, you know).
So act like (you know, you know, you know).
So act like (you know, you know).
