Born January 1, 1985, Blaze (Lambert Locket, Jr.) is the middle son of three children. Born into a working-class family, Blaze grew up on the east side of Flagstaff, Arizona. As an adolescent, Blaze was outgoing and athletic. To keep him out of the grip of the streets as a youngster, his mother enrolled him in every sport and after-school activity possible. He played baseball, basketball, football, soccer and participated in any other extracurricular activities he could get his hands on. Highly influenced by artists such as 2pac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, The Dogg Pound, UGK and Scarface, Blaze recorded his first song at the age of 12 and immediately began selling mixtapes in his local community. At 14, Blaze started performing at local talent showcases and parties. Though he was always an A and B student as a child, at the age of 16, Blaze began to succumb to the call of the streets. Induced by material gain beyond what his family could provide, he began selling coc*ine, marijuana, pills and hallucinogens for bills. Subsequently, this led to him being kicked out of his parents' home. Around the same time, a local group called Thug Related, lead and formed by Blaze’s cousin King Reign, caught drift of some of Blaze’s previously recorded material. The collective liked his sound and became interested in a collaboration. Fresh out of high school, Blaze joined the group and moved down to Phoenix, Arizona, where the rest of Thug Related had relocated to seek further opportunities in the entertainment industry. In 2007 and 2008, Blaze released two projects with the group and began recording tracks for his first solo release "The Blocc Burna Mixtape". While the group was establishing their own buzz on the local scene, Blaze also began to gain notoriety on his own as a solo artist. Unfortunately, this attention as well maintaining an element of the streets, caused Blaze numerous run-ins with authorities. Through these adverse times, he began a recording binge and dropped over 170 songs in an 11-month period. In 2010, Blaze released the first two installments of his four-volume mixtape “Tha Blocc Burna”, gaining him substantial local and regional recognition. He also began attending Phoenix College for audio production, expanding his musical expertise to production and audio engineering. Later that year Blaze released his 1st solo album Tha Conception. In 2012 Blaze debuted as a producer on the release of his 2nd independent album Immaculate. It gained moderate attention, but in 2014, led by his most successful single to date “Put That On Me” Blaze released his 3rd album Tha Epitaph which solidified Blaze as a solo artist regionally and expanded his brand nationally. Curently, Blaze released his 11th mixtape Burna. He continues to artistically flourish and push his potential as an artist as well as evolving into a producer, audio engineer and multi media director.
