Born in Brooklyn & calling Queens home, Daze emerged on the scene like many, with scars both visible and not, yet unlike most, has transcended his struggles into a force of an expressive nature that instills hope & earns him respect.

Most notably, Daze, aka “The Bowlegged Bandit” is physically disabled & severely bowlegged to the point of having to once use two Lofstrand crutches as a kid & at his heaviest, weighing a devastating 500 lbs. He’s a “walking” example of what strong will power, an unbreakable spirit, & hard work will accomplish!

If you mistake his humor for softness, you obviously haven’t seen him in the ring battle rapping! His down to earth nature is set aside & in beast-mode, this prolific battler unleashes his hell of a life of struggle through poignant rhymes & heated delivery unparalleled. His intimidating size & presence is a constant reminder of his drive & passion for not only survival, but for living.

To call Daze a “performer” would be a compliment to the word. He’s a fusion of everything intense & raw combined with a rugged charm & fierce coolness. In one line, he can warn you not to mess around with him & in the next, he’ll show you why you can’t.

Daze has won competitions on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Anthony Anderson’s Mixtape Comedy Show, Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, King of the Dot, GrindTimeNow, EOW, & has been featured in The Source Magazine, AllHipHop.com, Vibe, VladTV, Boi1da, DJ Booth, KevinNottingham & more. He has an extensive writing background and has worked with numerous high-profile businesses and celebrity clients performing at private parties, commercial events and creating powerful marketing and advertising campaigns.

Daze’s disability should have made him steer far from Battle Rap, but instead, he “jumped” into the scene & managed to make a name off it, winning not based off commodity, but off legit rhyme & reason!

Daze can’t be summed or described in one word. He is a rare breed in Hip Hop today, one that puts his true self in every line, every beat, & every adlib of every song. Jus Daze is an amazing personification of Hip Hop and artists like him make the present and future exciting for the whole community!
