Management: BrownWave Entertainment Group Kenneth "Big Business" Brown 615-500-6256 When the Mid-West meets the Dirty South, things get explosive. Just ask BrownWave entertainment's debut artist Blaze. Influenced by artists such as Jay Z, Three 6 Mafia, and Ludacris, this St. Louis native has a flow as melodious as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and as energetic as Busta Rhymes. "I'm from 'the show me state', you show me a studio, and a hot track and I'll show you a hit!" says Blaze. Rapping since early childhood, 21 year-old blaze has won numerous talent shows, showcases, and street battles. In February 2003 he went down in the history books of Belmont University as the first rap artist to win their annual "Others Showcase." Blaze gained the attention of many industry executives with his performance and used the opportunity to open the door for negotiations with major labels. This young cat is no stranger to the rap game. He appeared on the smash hit single "Warfare" from the album "Back to Tha Playaz Ball" by the Underground legend, King Pin Skinny Pimp. On this cut, Blaze exchanged venomous vocals over a barrage of booming baseline beats leaving the track on fire! "This guy's work ethic is amazing. He goes into the studio at 10 p.m. and won't come out until noon the next day, eats a little lunch, takes care of any business, takes a nap, then right back to the studio!" says manager, Kenneth "Big Business" Brown. "Because Blaze is so creative and I'm creative, I produced over 60 beats for his debut album. Business and I consider this our debut as well because Blaze is signed to our production company, so lyrically and production wise this album is going to be all hits!!" says Knowledge.
