Upcoming hip hop artiste, Bizzibee has been active in the hip hop community since he left the shores of West Africa, Ghana some years back and headed for the U.S. For the past years he has been recording music all along.

Bizzibee, who now rhymes mostly in English, is yet to release his first album. His hard-hitting style and brash lyrics are often infused with poems that speak about important issues.

When I asked Bizzibee what influenced his style and the direction of his music he has taken, he admitted that his music is maturing with time. Like many youth, his first attraction to hip hop was to the music’s glittery side.

Ghana Music.com had a chit chat with Bizzibee recently to talk about his career and his views on African artistes doing mix tapes.

Ghana Music.com: What makes you think people will listen to your mix tapes?

Bizzibee: Because my style is different and I work with different cultures. The beats are easy to listen to and I talk from my heart. I also talk about what goes around me, my music is poetry itself. I talk about life and the pains we go through everyday.
