How to write about Hip Hop part 7

Thizz is making big moves, signing hot new artists and producers. Taz is a first round draft pick. He basically produces and engineers everything that comes out of the Thizz Camp. He owns and runs his own studio, “Savage Dragon.” He produces, records and mixes down tracks for cats like J. Diggs, Crest Keepers, Rydah J. Klyde, M.I.S.T.A.H. F.A.B., Dubee, The Fendi Boyz, Star Studded, P.I.D., almost everybody off the Thizz Roster. Even cats that aren’t signed to Thizz, like Keak Da Sneak, and Yukmouth. Taz was introduced to Mac Dre and Thizz through J. Diggs after a show that Dre did, and every since then he has been working for Thizz. I’ve been in Taz’s studio; it’s pretty nice.
Taz was an Arabic drummer for his family in the Mid East, he came to America at the age of 12. Taz’s father told him one day “ no matter how far away we get from each other, music will bring us back together, because it’s a world wide language.” But when he started buying expensive studio equipment, they said he was doing too much. Taz’s philosophy was it will pay of one day. Well I think that day is coming sooner than he thinks.
When asked how he felt about dealing with the Thizz Camp, he said, “it’s one of the biggest lessons anyone could have in life, because you have to learn to deal with bigger people than yourself. When you are dealing with bigger people with bigger power, it’s hard to tell them there wrong, even if you know they are wrong. You have to explain everything when your working for a big company, miscommunication is the number one thing that will break up a company, but Thizz is doing well today.
