Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, west of southern New Jersey and north of hell- hard workers, Philly Cheese Steaks and the city of Brotherly Love is a place where bands like The Roots become sources of inspiration, rappers like Cassidy are considered simply “good” and local neighborhoods become comfortable combat zones. Street corners become temples to praise local idols and liquor stores become houses of worship. Yet and still, it wouldn’t take Kodak to capture the influence of Islam, soulful music and creative expression.

Philly- the land of State Property, Jill Scott, Tom Hanks “infested with AIDS” and the original home of the lead role in Seven Pounds- the city is much more than a resemblance of Heaven’s ghetto- but a reflection of a huge crock pot of various flavors, spices and traditions, mashed together to create beautiful babies and emcees like Courtney “2ew Gunn Ciz” Carroll.
“I saw a lot of good,” says Ciz. “And a lot of evil.” After admitting that those experiences helped shape him, the native Philly emcee (with more outlets than an extension cord) has taken those experiences as inspiration.
The somewhat “deep” rapper, with a mixture of street knowledge and formal education- with the experience of growing up while watching his father’s best friend, producer, label head and Philly legend, Dr. Shock and traveling shoes that could fit any nomadic figure in your history textbook- Ciz is much more than a modern musician. Rapping since the age of 11 and developing wit, style and definite knowledge, this innovative emcee is self-defined, self-taught and committed to what makes him happy- raw and untapped music.
