- About Me:
- PHZ-Sicks (pronounced Physics) is an 21-year-old rap phenom from Northern VA. Born in Texas, he was raised half his life in Mississippi, where he lived with Grandmother and most of his family. During these times, he lived through below middle class and dealt with poverty that must people grown up in the hood is use to. The only thing that kept him occupied was music. Everything from blues, soul music to NY Hip hop (Big Daddy Kane) to West Coast (Too short, Ice Cube) to Southern bass (Luke). This started his love for music and also the Hip hop culture.
At 9, he moved to Woodbridge, VA with his mom, which was a mecca of New York, Philly, and people from all over. As he grew older, he started to write more music and get in to more things with friends. He began in to being a rebellious teen with selling drugs by the age of 13 without his mother ever knowing. He didn't stop until his Uncle was tragically murdered in Mississippi. Not trying to end up that way or be a burden to his mother, he changed his way and focus on something that was naturally good at, music.
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, Pastor Troy), he developed his style. He started his rap career by battling various artists in the area and never listening. 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 the first rappers to ever win the competition. He is promoting his last "Sin City" mixtape which received rave reviews. The CD received over 800+ sales and still selling to this. He has also performed for majors such as Universal/Motown. Currently, he is dropping "The Feature Presentation on 12/08/08 and Less Than Zero after it.

Yes, today is the day everyone! Take out your coats, scarves and hats and bundle up! PHZ-Sicks is back with the highly talked about new mixtape “Less Than Zero”. This project is sponsored by HipHopUpdate.com & 9ine.4our.3hree Clothing. With the release of his last project “The Feature Presentation” in Dec 2008 with over 3200 downloads and still counting, the audience was ready to hear more from the lyrical rapper hailing from No.VA.
The story behind “Less Than Zero” is the following of “Kristofer Williams” as he goes through the ups and downs of life, envy, the music industry, and relationships. Each skit and song weaves through the story until he reaches his revelation and where he's going in life. When PHZ-Sicks is asked what his thought process was behind his new project he states "I wanted to do something different than just the regular mixtape. I wanted to put the listener in the story so they could relate to what's going on in the mixtape and vibe with me. I believe that music speaks volumes and with this, you'll just have to turn the volume up."
When listening to “Less Than Zero” you can hear the progression with the story and it’s a mixtape you can listen to from beginning to end because the story is informative, but at the same time very entertaining. One track that stands out on its own is “Make Em Envy” which features SRC/Universal Records recording artist Marky & “Mr. Powder 4 Da Babies” himself KingPen Slim. The track was recently featured on DjBooth.net and has since received rave reviews. Other features on “Less Than Zero” are Megan D, Lyriciss, Lady A, Young Scolla & Seanny Greggs.
