Growing up in different parts of Oakland, California, Kyzah learned at a young age that he had a hustler's spirit. After trouble with the law as a youngster, Kaz changed his focus to learning how to rap and making quality songs. He lists his broad range of musical influences from Thelonious Monk and Cold Play to A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep and Too Short, not something you'd expect from someone with a true rapper's past. 　　 　　As a member of The Team, the Bay Area's hottest hip-hop group, Kaz received numerous spins every week on KMEL, Northern California's largest radio station. With that under his belt, and new solo material on the way, Kyzah will continue to get his hits out to the masses. 　　 　　The Go-Fessional is Kaz's first mixtape, with a lot of comical skits sprinkled between some of the biggest song the Bay Area has ever experienced. There are many certified hits on this CD, and to prove that it's hosted by Big Von, KMEL's (largest radio station in Northern California) most popular radio personality/DJ. The Team is featured heavily on this project, and Too Short makes a brief appearance, but Kaz really doesn't need any help.
