“Hip-hop is just one step in the things I want to do” – PHZ-SICKS!

HOTT AND RAW EXCLUSIVE!

PHZ-SICKS (pronounced Physics) is a 22-year-old hip hop artist hailing from Woodbridge, VA. Influenced by New York rap at the time (Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Canibus, DMX), Midwest (Bone Thugs, Do or Die, Twista), and Southern rap (Outkast & Goodie Mob), he developed his style. He started his rap career by battling various artists in the area and never listening. I believe that this emcee is best summed up, as being  from ‘a humble start to passionate beginnings.’

“As for anything in life you need passion!” PASSION DRIVES YOU! … “into the up and downs!” – PHZ-SICKS!

In this HOTT AND RAW EXCLUSIVE!, Phz-Sicks talk abouts his musical aspirations and his experience at being an unsigned artist in hip-hop. After listening to the interview above be sure to leave your honest comment and thoughts.

WHAT’s HOTT!!! ABOUT PHZ-SICKS!?!

A carefully driven passion.

In the fall of 2002, he dropped his first mixtape with his cousin Twin in their group Damacus Steel. The mixtape sold over 200 from school to school in the Prince William County. He did it again the following year with an upcoming DJ from Florida named DJ Hailo. The mixtape was called “PHZ-Sicks and DJ Hailo presents Signs Mixtape.” On Feb. 1st, 2004, he won Teens Count Teen Talent Show hosted by Rane of WPGC 95.5. He was one of the first rappers to ever win the competition.

Throughout the years, he did numerous shows before he graduated and headed to Philadelphia to go to college at Drexel University. During this time, he perfected his performances doing open mics hosted by Larry Larr and around the Philadelphia area.

Due to school, he took a break from rap in 2007. It wouldn’t be until late 2008, where he decided to drop the mixtape, “The Feature Presentation” for free online.

For two months, he crafted a well put together mixtape of exclusives and songs featuring him with Top 40 songs and songs from the past, present, and future. The mixtape dropped on the internet December 8, 2008 and set the web on fire. Numerous music blogs posted the mixtape and has to this date has over 2,000 downloads. After this, the doors were opened.

Currently, PHZ-Sicks is working on his next mixtape, the conceptual “Less Than Zero.” The mixtape will come out around the spring/summer. As of today, “Don’t Give Up” has been played on Philadelphia’s Power 99. During the meantime, he has been guest blogging for music sites, in amidst of being sponsored by a prominent clothing company in fashion, collaborating, and setting his future in the music business. Everything in life involves physics (PHZ-Sicks), so what is the music world without it?
