“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.

A carefully driven passion.

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.
