In a world where we are taught the sky is our limit, struggling artists in the music business find themselves blinded by the dream of success,but are not motivated by the hard work and sacrifice in order to be successful. Their dreams overcome their reality and in the end, they lose both. ​ However, in every major city and every small suburb is a little boy or girl making real life sacrifices in order to accomplish their one dream: making music. With the introduction of social media and the emergence of entertainment reality shows, newer and larger platforms are offered for aspiring artists. Thus, making it harder for local artists to find their footing in the door. ​ Enter "Southern Hayze" In a public storage unit that has been transformed into a part time bedroom and a full time studio, Southern Hayze slow roasts the melodic, warm, transcendent style that precedes their name. ​ Southern Hayze is an Orlando based rap group, striving to turn their street success into a global takeover. They are what you get if Common and Outkast had a musical love child. Their foundation is Southern Hip Hop, Funk, and Jazz. Their words speak stories beyond mainstream rap. For them, there is no alternative. Their southern style is reminiscent of classic hip hop laced with their own personal Miami sound.
