NazB is taking the world by storm with his brand of new-school hip-hop with an international message. Hailing from Zurich Switzerland ,born and grew up in Nigeria. NazB has travel round the world and turning the volume up everywhere he goes. It was on the streets that his friends nicknamed him Nazodobas, which eventually evolved into NazB and became his rapper alias; His real name Michael Ikenna Ozigbo just didn't roll of the tongue quite as smoothly as NazB, which is incidentally the name of an old-time Nigerian hustler. NazB was playing in clubs at an early age, but without his parents' support he eventually left home at the age of 18 to find himself and pursue his dreams. After living the street life for some time and occasionally turning to petty crime to support himself, NazB was finally able to focus his love for music and release his debut album "Money in the Game" independently. Following performances in Brazil, South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali and local Switzerland! Clubs, NazB is earning respect in the music industry . Using top-notch USA and Europe-produced beats as a foundation and his own personal experiences as lyrical ammunition, NazB has produced a record that paints a painfully heartfelt picture of the wisdom he gained on the streets. Recorded in Switzerland in 2006, "Money in the Game" is a collection of 14 powerful songs which showcase NazB's command of language and emotion: "This album tells the story of my life and my pain," NazB explains. Themes such as love, poverty, racism and religious discrimination .Drawing influences from hip-hop heavyweights such as the lost boyz,2pac,Nas,Dogg Pound ,notorious big and Dr. Dre just to name a few. NazB has developed a unique sound - blending funky rhythms, heavy grooves, as well as elements that exhibit his African roots. The hip-hop industry today is filled with so many artists who all rap about the same thing that it's easy for someone genuine to get lost in the shuffle. NazB stand! Is out above the crowd with clearly defined ambitions and beliefs. "I play music because I love it - I feel like it's something I can offer to the world! I want the world to know that I believe in peace and having faith in something more than ourselves." Dropping and album and seeing the world are definitely dreams come true for this rapper, but with his heart set on something deeper, we can all expect great things from NazB in the future.
