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.
Here We Go
Theory Hazit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo yo yo y-yo yo here we go
Time for some action
Can't get no satisfaction
Until my steel toe crashes
Head on collision What's happening?
Fist swinging, face mashing
And you better not interrupt
When the titans are clashing
DJ bring that beat
So I can bust slang from the street
Bang with the heat, semi auto
I'd like to see you dodge these hollows
I throw. Too much beef to swallow
Can't keep up with me to follow
Sound check is over
Show's just begun
Trying to escape makes it worse
Don't run
Just bring the beat to the show
And watch them tear up the floor
It's gotten out of control
There is nowhere to go
You're moving too slow
And it's about to explode
So if you're ready to roll
Then baby here we go
I got you right where I want you
There is nowhere to run to
This ain't nothing like Kung Fu
More like watch what the gun do
Let the poppers pop shots
And the breakers break jaws
They don't box they brawl
They don't make beats they make war!
Got kicks and snares for you
We take it there for you
Heard what I said?
Snatch your dreads
Out your head oh yeah
So you can dance around
You won't last a round
I'm finna act a clown
You don't know?
You better ask around
I got the mic in my hand and I'm ready to go
I said the mic's in hand I'm ready to go
(Here we go)
Let's go goat mouth and start the show
What ya waiting for?
Let's start the show (Here we go)
I got the mic in hand and I'm ready to go
I said the mic's in hand and that's for sure
(Here we go)
Let's go go now and start the show
What ya waiting for?
Let's start the show (come on!)
Yo yo yo
This ain't no dance battle
This here is suicide
That means when you step in the ring
You know one thing, you will die
Death is certain put more than
A hurting on you
It's curtains
Disturb me while I'm working
You'll end up patient and I'm the surgeon
Incision
Rearrange your organs
I'm more than just hot I'm scorching
Thwarted mutated orphans
Aborted the native orders
We're rebels with a cause
Causing commotion
Poison is potent
I'm hoping you reexamine my opus
You think I'm joking but no (nah)
