Meet Corey, aka 'Scuzz' –
a rapper on the rise, spitting out lyrics in a small room that's more like a cozy bedroom than a studio. Picture this: cramped quarters with just enough space for a bed, desk, and a 'not-so-big TV'. The desk's on the left, the bed's on the right, and the TV chills at the foot of the bed. Light? Well, there's his dimmed MacBook Air screen and a glass light that screams 'Scuzz' in green with a cool boombox graphic.
Right now, Corey's posted up at that desk, vibes lit. And above him? Tupac Shakur, looking down like a blessing, giving Corey that extra push as he works the records in his studio.
In this cozy zone, Corey – or 'Scuzz' – does his thing. From spitting rhymes that hit like poetry to crafting beats that groove, this room's his creative playground. It's where he hones his unique sound, fueled by passions and inspirations that run deep. 'two deep' but we will get into that later...
As a buddy and a collaborator, I've been right there in the mix. Our tag team is all about turning ideas into tracks, bringing the beats to life in this little corner that's seen its fair share of creative magic. 'Scuzz' isn't just about rapping; he's all about pouring feelings into soundwaves, and I'm stoked to be part of the ride, making his artistic vision real, one beat at a time.
