Biography

Question: What do you get when you mix a Delaware-raised former choirboy and preteen Funk singer with a diehard DIY Hip Hop head who cites country music, Quincy Jones and Kool G. Rap as influences in the same breath?

Answer: One of the dopest Emcees-slash-producers-slash-singers-slash-guitar players-slash-songwriters that you’ve never heard. You can call him Hezekiah.

Born into a musical family, and raised just outside of Philadelphia, Hezekiah got his chops at an early age, belting out God’s greatest hits at his family’s church, and before long was singing in his Uncle’s band, the Funk Disciples (who dropped some super hard-to-find wax in the mid 70’s).

Around 86, Hezekiah’s cousin brought home a track machine and a drum machine, and he was instantly hooked. Predating the live Hip Hop trend by plenty of years, Hezekiah spent much of his early days in front of the two machines, rocking sellout shows in the living room with his Cousin on bass and Uncle on guitar.

Once out of High School, Hezekiah linked up with arguably the only Hip Hop crew to ever exist in Delaware, and put together a mixtape called “Exit Wound Status” which sold an impressive 2000 hand-to-hand copies on the streets and at shows. But it was getting up with the Legendary Roots Crew in ‘93 that spurred him to get down to business.
