Bio
All hip hop bio clichés aside, Eyezon knows struggle all too well. Born in Soweto, South Africa, he learned firsthand the trials associated with segregation, racism, and poverty. Growing up in difficult times with his father gone and his mother exiled to Germany, Eyezon found him self with the opportunity to move to the U.S. and try and start life from scratch. Having heard hip hop music only on mixtapes and recorded radio shows brought to South Africa by his uncle, Eyezon found something intriguing in the music, and although he had no command for the English language, learned the rhythm of the delivery,
"imagine listenenning to "It takes a nation Getting lost in translation"
developing a style all his own as he learned the English language. His command for the English language has developed over the years, and as evident through his songs, his mastery of vivid imagery and poetry have formed a noteworthy style.Links
