One MC with enough style to give the impression that he is a 3-man group.
Who is Theory Hazit?
A producer/DJ who feels at home rhyming over his own beats – or collaborating with high profile producers.
Who is Theory Hazit?
A husband and father – emerging from his days as a troubled youth and developing into a wise family man.
Theory Hazit is a Hip Hop artist – born and raised in Winchester Kentucky with the support of his granny, an aunt and 2 uncles. He always had a vivid imagination, enjoying cartoons more than music videos. He grew up with a love for dancing like Big Daddy Kane, New Edition, Kid ‘n’ Play and others. When asked about how he fell in love with music – Theory (who is usually a man of few words) offers a full story.
“My uncle was a Funk and R&B fanatic. He would baby sit me while my mom went out and partied. He introduced me to Prince, Cameo and others. One day he played “Rappers Delight” and automatically I had this feeling inside me that said, “I can do that!” I was 3 at the time. 2 or 3 years later I heard “Planet Rock” and that’s when I got into break dancing. My cousin Dave was a DJ and he kept me up to date with all the latest jams. One time, Dave and I were chillin’ at grandmas house and he turns it to BET. LL Cool J’s “I’m Bad” came on and THAT is when I said “this is cool” – I want to listen to this music and this music only.”
Around 1988 Theory started beat boxing for his cousin, which was the beginning of his production and beat skills. Years moved on and in 1991 he wrote his first rhyme. Kriss Kross came out with a song dissing ABC (another bad creation) and Theory responded with a diss song of his own aimed at Kriss Kross. That was his very first rhyme.
Fast forward to 2007 and Theory Hazit is now preparing for the release of his first nationally distributed record titled “Extra Credit” on Hiphop IS Music with international support from SuperRappin and River City. With plenty of stories to tell, a bag full of witty punchlines, and the boldness to be honest in his music – Theory arrives on the scene sounding like the polished veteran that he is.
Theory Hazit started working on “Extra Credit” after Braille (from Hiphop IS Music) approached him about doing an EP. Around late 2004 Theory and Braille started talking through email. Theory Hazit was putting together a production compilation and wanted Braille to rhyme on it. Months later Braille rolled through Cincinnati to rock a show and Theory was one of the opening acts. After Braille heard Theory rhyme, he immediately became interested in working with Theory under his label Hiphop IS Music. Braille started Hiphop IS Music in 2004 to release his own solo projects and music from his group Lightheaded. As the vision for the label expanded, Theory fit into the picture perfectly. After only a few more phone conversations – it was official and Theory started working on “Extra Credit”. Braille worked hard to collect the best tracks he could find from producers all over the world. Theory also had some beats set aside from himself and some of his associates. The end result is an astonishingly cohesive record featuring production from over 7 different producers.
Now that the record is done and ready to be released, Braille offers his own opinions and insight regarding “Extra Credit”.
Braille - “Me and Theory are both perfectionists, so this album took a lot of work. One of the things that impresses me the most about Theory, is how he can take all that hard work and make it sound so natural. His songs never sound forced or contrived. Each track has it’s own personality and purpose and each track is crafted with a great attention to detail. The authentic honesty that Theory shares in his rhymes is inspiring, humorous and entertaining all at the same time. The more you listen to his rhymes, the more you feel connected to them. You feel like your really getting to know and understand Theory as an artist and as a person. I think Theory has the talent to impact a large-scale audience without compromising the integrity of his faith or his artistry. That’s a very rare quality.”
Theory Hazit offers his own thoughts regarding the album.
Theory Hazit - “With Extra Credit, I was trying to accomplish that FEEL GOOD sound. Reach out to the people that I failed at reaching before. I wanted to honor the people who helped make me who I am. Also, I wanted to make Hip Hop music that I enjoyed listening to. My inspiration comes from my mom, my brother, my kids, and my experiences as a troubled teen and an irresponsible adult. I wish I could go back and change a lot of things, but then I wouldn’t be able to help some of those in need.”
Real talk indeed – and that’s what Theory Hazit offers on “Extra Credit”. Real talk over soulful production. It’s been a long road to get to this moment, but “Extra Credit” has the potential to truly make a mark and usher Theory into a fruitful musical future.
Find Me
Theory Hazit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just tryin' to find me, yeah
I'm just tryin' to find me (x3)
I'm just tryin' to find me, yeah
You lookin' just like yo
Daddy, that's what my momma told me
Hated every last single one of my homies
From sending me to Granny's and threaten to call the police
Now what's a mother to do
When she's fed up
She used to trip when her son didn't make his bed up
Daddy ain't around and the pressure won't let up
Same ghetto story
I'm numb to the head rush
At school I never said much
Too busy writing dope lines
They though I was gay
Cus I wouldn't give them girls time
And dudes want to fight me over girls
I'm on they girls, mine
All this love that I'm gettin' all cus I wrote rhymes
If this is high school,
I know college sucks
I'd rather hang with thugs
And toss 40 bottles up
We moved out the hood
But the hood followed us
And me and baby bruh kept fallin' in and out of touch
At night momma cried
Put her feelings aside
Prayed for the safety of her son
Hoping there's a safety on the gun
Cus her son is attracted to the wrong ones in the slums
Hoping that he find what he looking for
Find that reciprocal
Love that he lookin' fo'
And pray to God give him mo'
Yeah, and pray to god give him mo'
Cus right now, he just wanna be found
I'm just tryin' to find me
Run from my past
It keeps on chasing me down
But I leave it behind me
Come out of hiding
Put it all on the line
See, I'm just tryin' to be found
When I was young me and my momma had beef
Cus all I did was kick flows
And hang around young G's
Listenin' to beats
Runnin' studio times sometimes
But not enough to keep a child from doin' crime
So my cousin Rashad gave me a little job
Sellin' crack to my neighbors, smokin' that good pine
But watch out for them haters
Cus when you on top
They wanna see you collapse
Just like a bad stock
Here come the cops
All I ever wanted in life was a deal
But with a hole in my heart
I'm constantly tryin' to feel
Resorted to packin' steel
Cus the homie got low, got smoke
Right before the economy got low
Got home, mom's trippin'
Mom, what you yellin' fo'?
Mom's found out, kicked me out
No more sellin' dope
Called me out my name
Doggone shame
How I mistreated momma
Plus the drama remains
But at night momma cried
Put her feelings aside
Prayed for the safety of her son
Hoping there's a safety on the gun
Cus her son is attracted to the wrong ones in the slums
Hoping that he find what he looking for
Find that reciprocal
Love that he lookin' fo'
And pray to God give him mo'
Yeah, and pray to god give him mo'
Cus right now, he just wanna be found
I'm just tryin' to find me
Run from my past
It keeps on chasing me down
But I leave it behind me
come out of hiding
Put it all on the line
See, I'm just trying to be found
I'm just tryin' to find me
Run from my past
It keeps on chasing me down
But I leave it behind me
Come out of hiding
Put it all on the line
see, I'm just tryin' to be found
I'm just tryin' to find me
Run from my past
It keeps on chasing me down
But I leave it behind me
Come out of hiding
Put it all on the line
See, I'm just tryin' to be found
