Lazarus is...

Battle MC. Medical Student. Poet. Storyteller. Visionary. Revolutionary.
Having sold close to 10,000 mixtapes, Lazarus, has made himself a Detroit icon in the hip hop scene and continues to grow in the streets and on the internet. What separates this Pakistani American from the typical spitfire lyricist in the industry is his undeniable ability to write songs and catchy hooks of subject matter from every range of the spectrum. Having a father who's a hustler, an older brother who's a heavyweight boxer from the Kronk Gym, and a crack-addicted Uncle, Lazarus speaks on what he sees in his life in the realest, most creative and passionate way that it can be delivered: through wordplay, vocabulary, and vast amounts of emotion. Lazarus comes off as versatile in his range of rap styles, the way he shifts from calm to hard to lyrical, and then from slow-paced to fast. Lazarus has an incredible amount of shows under his belt, from performances at St. Andrews, to the Bull Frog, to the Majestic Theatre, to headlining for the Detroit Ruff Ryders, Industry Night at Club Rain, and at the "Vote or Die" campaign at Wayne State University to name a few. Lazarus also rapped at Joe Louis Arena prior to a G-Unit performance. Having defended his freestyle skills on many stages and after retiring as battle champion on "Freestyle Friday" on radio station FM 95.5, Lazarus continues his journey into song-writing. With two articles in the Promoter Magazine, and articles spreading from Wayne State University to Michigan State University, the name continues to spread. Lazarus recently got the chance to be one of three MCs (alongside Ill Uno and Hush, who is signed to Geffen Records) to be featured in a worldwide documentary on the Discovery Times Channel hosted by 2-time Pulitzer Prize Winning New York Times writer Charlie LeDuff. The big buzz generator for his being chosen for the documentary was his song "Godflow." The song, consisting of 100 bars, made Lazarus the first 2-time hall of famer on detroithiphop.com, gave him the hip hop quotable, placed him as "Artist of the Month" on detroitrap.com and nominated him 'Lyricist of 2004' at the Detroit Hip Hop Awards. On top of that, the song became a regularly played track on the #1 radio station in Detroit, FM 98 WJLB. Canadian radio stations, FM 102.7, and FM 89.3 followed and continued banging "Godflow" every week since it was made and continue to do so. The song also continues to spread via DJs across the country. "Dream of a Hustler," a song about how Lazarus' father came to America from Pakistan with 50 dollars in his pocket, was next to hit the radio stations. "Struggle of a 16 Bars" and "O Brother" followed next. With 4 tracks getting radio play, Discovery Times got a hold of him to put his story out for the world to see: on Cable Television. What started as a dream behind a hungry battle MC is steadily unfolding to the mission it was intended to be: to revitalize the essence of hip hop music and let the world see passion, energy, and determination like never before. Currently, Lazarus works with engineer/producer Detroit guru IV Duncan of Music Brokers to finish his first major LP "Chapter 1: The Prince Who Would Be King" and is in the process of hosting DJ Butter's new mixtape "Lazarus For President." Detroit legend Royce 5'9" has been featured in the project on a political track entitled "Born To Die." Currently in medical school, Lazarus wants to show the type of impact that hip hop, as an art form and as a form of music, can have on an audience and showing how he is more than capable of making an album that will be appreciated amongst the hip hop classics. In breaking stereotypes of his race, and in standing for hip hop and education, Lazarus marches past the borders of Detroit, out to America, and out to the world. It's time for a
revolution.
