Wassup famlay!
If you're in jozi this friday, catch MarazA perfoming an Exclusive track at the Launch of JOZI's 2nd album. There will be lots of entertainment on site.
If you're not around here, and maybe you are in, say, Nelspruit, you're in LUCK. MarazA will be perfoming at MPUMALANGA's BIGGEST HIP HOP FESTIVAL at THE BLUE MOON, THIS SATURDAY. Come and hang out with me and get to see the likes of Prokid, Ventilation crew and Nelspruit favorites: Jus Dat!.
For those who asked for a collabo with Phoenix and Abduss, it has happened. The song is titled "New Era" and is going to be on Phoenix's upcoming tape. There is one more to do for MarazA's own.
We have also decided on a first single titled "One Foot In The Game". The Song has mad raps from MarazA and Bobzin, and the soulfull vocals of Kage! Produced by Yaw Bannerman and Nova, it is bound to blaze the speakers hectically! Listen to it athttp://www.myspace.com/marazamusic OR
http://www.reverbnation.com/marazamusic where you can also download Maybach Music 2.6 for free (Hurry up, the song is making it's way all across Africa and the UK. Get it before the rest of the world does).
We at MUSE Entertainment would love to thank everyone who has joined and those who invited friends. We appreciate the love and support. MarazA's album "20" is even closer than ever.
Let's get the biggest audience to WATCH THE RIZE!
20!

THE RITALIN
Music has evolved a lot over the years. Staying relevant is not only critical for an artists sustainability, but also for their listen-ability. Meaning it's difficult to stay focused on someone who keeps straying from the point or points out things that mean nothing to you.
"20"
What we (MUSE EntertainmenT) have found ourselves doing recently is trying to see which songs (Out of the more than 25 already recorded) are relevant to NOW but also remain time-generic enough to be timeless. We want to release an album that you will instantly relate to the day you buy it and the day you give it to your grandson. It wasn't a difficult task, because all the songs we've recorded are such. However, this fact made it difficult. How so? Well, if every song is good, you still haven't chosen, have you. But rest assured this will be sorted out. Even if it means putting out a double album. Funny.
Release date?
Well, we don't have one. Straight up honest! It would be against our principles to set a date that we can't honor. This is why we have just been collecting, fixing and refining our different infrastructures and marketing tools. We don't want to come out in drips and drabs. That's boring. Instead, we've held back on Radio, TV, Print and Web articles and interviews (Apart from the HYPE and Lifecheckydi.com interviews). This blog, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=75304631491&ref=ts, http://www.facebook.com/pages/MarazA/71402127614?ref=ts, http://twitter.com/Marazamc, and the myspace.com/marazamusic page have been the only source of accurate information regarding the artist: MarazA. Our guns are loaded and in place. When the album is ready to hit the shelves, we will come out with the pistols blazing.
Best be ready. The ritalin is coming. No more attention deficit disorders when it comes to music. You're gonna have your ears glued to the speaker.
"20". It's just the beginning

WHATS WITH THE HOLD UP!?
Iv been getting a lot of messages from good people asking for my album. Here is the deal:
From previous albums (Like the classic Jus Dat albums and other artists) we have learnt one thing: A GOOD ALBUM THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE IS THE SAME AS A GREAT ALBUM THAT IS AVAILABLE! IT IS USELESS!
SO
AVAILABILITY?
We are working hard to get proper distribution structures in place. As you have seen from the net and th papers and HYPE, there is movement and presence but, we are limiting it to prevent over exposure before the product is available. We want you to not only want it, BUT GET IT! In every store possible.
GREAT MUSIC?
We are also getting great musicians to add their flavor to the album by playing some of the instruments live (Bassits, Drummers, Electric Guitarists, Violinists, Pianists etc.) to create a very live, big, soulful AND ARTISTIC sound that will engage you as it entertains you. We have a great team of professionals from the engineers right down to the cover designer AND the video maker. It even includes some of your most favorite poems from [.:*"20"*:.]MarazA's Poetry Corner[.*"20"*:.]
We basically want this to be a project you can own and enjoy more than just music. IT'S FOR ALL OF US!
Keep your messages coming. they make a huge difference!

The album is in its final stages of completion ladies and gentle-dudes. The music is concrete, the flow is liquid, the content is thick and the poetry is smooth. Follow this blog and join the facebook group "MarazA" to stay updated.
The revamp of entertainment.
The rebirth of lyricism.
Get your fix. From Jam Alley Versus to Emcee Africa, MarazA has been elevating both his standards and the industry's. "20" is destined to be the truest most layered release of the year! Anticipated? We'll let you decide that.
Get your notepads out and jot it down: MarazA! [.:*"20"*:.]

Speed of tongue
I write a lot of songs. I write and read and recite a lot of song. I rap right and re-right a lot of wrongs in my quest to flight, fight, heave and insight a lot of blondes. Not the hair color of the fair other. But the lack of butter in what they utter. It just doesn't glide with me. I can't make mental cake out of it. Its not evenly spread. And usually is more about eating bread than making it.
See, here is my concern : "tracks", "Hits", "Singles", what ever you wanna call them, have overtaken thought. A lot of songs are done before they are thought about. A lot of times, the audience accepts it. Maybe Im just a bit too biased but isn't music supposed to communicate something in an artistic and creative manner? And, correct me if Im wrong, but aren't we the most intelligent species on earth.
My IQ decreases after hearing some of this material.
BUT yours doesn't have to... Iv got the right dose of LYRICISM topped with a generous but healthy splash of FUN, garnished with a boquet of ENTERTAINMENT all served on a bed of GOOD, MUSICAL BEATS. And im not saying that Im the only master chef in the world. There is a whole city of 6 star restaurants, each with their own chef dishing out the type of music that you will listen to for years to come. Consider the other guys a shady Junk food corner cafe. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.
For great music

Believe it to live it
There's nothing easy about being alive. Everything takes effort and nothing happens over night. We live with the misconception that others have it easy and we have it hard. That aint the case: If you think someone got it easier than you, its probably because they've already suffered and continued believing that they would come out victorious until they did, OR, they are two days away from hardships worse than yours.
Basically, succes is determined by three things, in a specific order.
1. Ambition:
You must chase it to find it. There isn't a dream too big. Want it until you get it. Seek it until you find it!
2. Attitude:
Be posetive. It's true that we attract the energies we keep within ourselves and constant moping and doubting will only pave the way for more dissapointmemt. Believe in yourself, believe in what you've got, believe in your abilities and, the world will believe and invest in you.
3. Faith:
Pray. Pray hard and, as soon as you've prayed, cross it off in your list of to do things and put it in the list of whats done. The Lord answers every single prayer at the exact time when it will be for the best to do so. That time however, is nt always the time that you "want" it to be answered by. However, that time is the time that your destiny needs it to be.
Once you have fully applied all of these aspects...wait. Yes, WAIT! Dnt wait and do nothing, but, wait. Wait for as long as it takes but dont take your eyes off the prize. Patience is the hardest thing to have on an empty stomach, but the best possible shield against doubt and defeat.
This is wht Im doing...
