Who is Theory Hazit?
A producer/DJ who feels at home rhyming over his own beats β or collaborating with high profile producers.
Who is Theory Hazit?
A husband and father β emerging from his days as a troubled youth and developing into a wise family man.
Theory Hazit is a Hip Hop artist β 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 βnβ Play and others. When asked about how he fell in love with music β Theory (who is usually a man of few words) offers a full story.
βMy 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 βRappers Delightβ and automatically I had this feeling inside me that said, βI can do that!β I was 3 at the time. 2 or 3 years later I heard βPlanet Rockβ and thatβs 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 chillinβ at grandmas house and he turns it to BET. LL Cool Jβs βIβm Badβ came on and THAT is when I said βthis is coolβ β I want to listen to this music and this music only.β
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 βExtra Creditβ 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 β Theory arrives on the scene sounding like the polished veteran that he is.
Theory Hazit started working on βExtra Creditβ 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 β it was official and Theory started working on βExtra Creditβ. 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 βExtra Creditβ.
Braille - βMe 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 itβs 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. Thatβs a very rare quality.β
Theory Hazit offers his own thoughts regarding the album.
Theory Hazit - βWith 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 wouldnβt be able to help some of those in need.β
Real talk indeed β and thatβs what Theory Hazit offers on βExtra Creditβ. Real talk over soulful production. Itβs been a long road to get to this moment, but βExtra Creditβ has the potential to truly make a mark and usher Theory into a fruitful musical future.

Theory Hazit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That glorious song of old
From Angels playing near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth could will two men
From Heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
And I hear them singing
Sing, I do hear them singing
The first Noel the Angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay, they keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Theory Hazit's song "It" starts with the verses of "It came upon the midnight clear", a Christmas carol penned by Edmund Sears in 1849. According to the lyrics, an event happened at the time of the night, where suddenly a group of angels appeared, and started to play their "harps of gold" near the earth. They were creating such an alluring melody that is stated to be the "glorious song of old", which can be a reference to the carol itself which mentions the birth of Jesus Christ. The song then goes on to describe the tranquility that the presence of the angels brings, as the whole world lie in a state of solemn stillness to hear the divine singing, which is a portrayal of the calmness that the nativity of Jesus brings to the world.
In the later part of the song, the lyrics of a familiar carol, "The First Noel", come into play. The song tells how the angels announced the birth of Jesus Christ to the poor shepherds in the fields. The shepherds then went to visit the newborn king as the star in the sky guided them. In the chorus, the singer repeatedly hears the singing of the angels and reiterates what those celestial beings sang to the shepherds that holy night. The notions presented in the song emphasize the significance of the birth of Jesus Christ and the belief in Christianity, which is that his birth brought peace and hope to humanity.
