MYSTIFYING But once you hear his sound and experience his Hip Hop presence, you're going to call him ... ALMIGHTY! Get Ready For the Hip Hop Juggernaut![/b] Born Scott Whitfield in Flushing, New York, Young Azzie was the younger of his mother’s two boys. Young Azzie’s brother took on the responsibility of being the male role model in the house. Young Azzie’s brother did everything he could to mold Young Azzie into a man that would be aware of his environment and the changes that were needed to revitalize it. The vehicle was Hip Hop. Mesmerized and transfixed by the highly melodic style of music, Young Azzie developed a knack for putting words together and expressing his ideas. At the pre-ripe and youthful age of 9 years old, he completed his first song. Young Azzie’s mother worked long days to provide for her family and instilled a work ethic; a motivation in her sons to survive the quoted ghetto, the struggle! Following the example set by his brother, Young Azzie began doing odd jobs around the neighborhood as he watched his mother struggle to insure that her boys had a fair chance in life. Sadly however, “In the ghetto every one has to grow up fast.” and Young Azzie found this out first hand when in 1996 his brother was stolen from his family by a street tragedy. That day Young Azzie became a man. That day he made the choice to be upright, unflinching, and to stand with conviction. He made the decision to be the example for others that his brother was to him. Realizing that he had to make things better for his mother Young Azzie, became even more determined to make his music known and appreciated. Thus, after years of hard work and dedication, Young Azzie slowly began to let his style of flow be known. Performing in local clubs, talent shows, and other small venues, he started to build a name for himself. His fan base really began to expand however, when he hooked up with talent executive, [b]Etcetera Carter [/b](CEO - Triple F Unlimited) who introduced Young Azzie to the underground world of "Mix Tapes”, Radio and Television and finally Hip Hop Battles, the doors started to open for Young Azzie. Traveling as far as Las Vegas and San Diego with Carter and Triple F, Young Azzie realized that his infectious sound is indeed a forced to be dealt with. He lets his songs speak on his pain, his struggle, his environment. Young Azzie has astonished audiences throughout the United States.
