The undisputed "Godfather of Noyze" has re-defined the beat box. A self-defined "vocal percussionist", Rahzel has perfectly mastered this quintessential hip hop art form and has emerged as a "true virtuoso". To hear him is to be converted.
Rahzel is best known as a member of The Roots, hip hop's cutting-edge live band. Over the past several years he has emerged as the one to watch. His eagerly anticipated debut album, entitled The Fifth Element: Make the Music 2000, is drenched with an urban eclectic edge/uniqueness that rejects categorization. A collage of almost every musical genre, it is well-positioned for classicism.
A glance at Rahzel's musical influences speaks to his appreciation for the art of making music. He explains: "With my vocal percussions, I want to bridge the gap among various musical genres. I want the beat box to be respected as a true art form."
"Rahzel's vision of hip hop, as with his sound, is poly-chromatic. (He) is the movement, the bridge where hip hop fusions can meet." The Source Magazine
