Hezekiah

Citing country music, Quincy Jones and Kool G Rap as influences, Hezekiah was
undeniably born to be different.

Music is second nature to me, as I was raised in a musical family in Chester, PA, just outside of Philadelphia. At an early age he soaked up his parents predilection for Blues (Otis Redding and Bo Diddley) and belting out God’s greatest hits at my family’s church; and before long I was singing in my Uncle’s band, the Funk Disciples (who dropped some super hard-to-find wax in the mid-70’s)...

...
If word of mouth never made it to you about Hezekiah and his soulful brand of hip hop via his 2005 album “Hurry Up and Wait” and 2007 LP "I Predict A Riot" consider this an introduction...

Hezekiah is a Philadelphia emcee, musician, and producer that has been blessing the scene with his songwriting ability and overall showmanship for the past few years and has collaborated with artists like Musiq Soulchild, Bilal, The Jazzyfatnastees, The Roots, Bahamadia and more.

HEZEKIAH brings you his first mixtape, "Cure For The Common $OUL (The Mixtape)." Mixed by Sonny James aka DJ Statik, Cure For The Common $OUL (The Mixtape) features artists such as Cody Chestnutt , Freeway, Oddise, Mr Lif, Dice Raw, Bilal, Jay Z, Santogold, Common and of course, Hezekiah.

The mixtape is a precursor to Hezekiah's upcoming Johnny Popcorn project with Tone Whitfield, as well as his new solo album due out in September.
