Hailing from the college town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama and currently residing on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia, Sam Peezy’s sound has been a long time coming…
Sam Peezy, formerly known as Sam Addams, has been in the music business since 2000, since inking his first deal with EightWays Entertainment, constructing beats for the legendary Southern Hip Hop group 8Ball and MJG. It was after a stint with the group that Sam Peezy would become a staple on the beat battle scene, winning several internationally renowned beat battles in Atlanta, Ga., Tallahassee, Fla., and Charlotte, NC. He would parlay these victories into opportunities to produce for regional heavyweights such as Willie Joe, Jackie Chain, and more. After flirting with several more record and production companies in the summer of 2010, Sam would meet bass music legend Kelvin “K Chill” Harris, who currently serves as head of A&R operations for Krazy Swag Entertainment, an independent record company distributed through Universal Music Group Distribution. It was through this chance meeting that Sam would meet legendary producer/artist Enrique”Tetraz” Dent, CEO of Krazy Swag. Tetraz then offered the position of head producer to Sam, relinquishing all production duties himself. Sam Peezy’s first project with Krazy Swag would be the Bass Superstars project, which was the formation of a super group of bass music legends, including Kilo Ali, Raheem The Dream, Thrill da Playa of 69 Boys, Daddy Black of 95 South, Uncle Head and Kue Dog of SplackPack, 12 Gauge, Dis n Dat, DJ Taz, and MC Shy D. The production on the project was heralded as groundbreaking. However, it was not until Sam would write and perform the hook on the Bass Superstars’ single, “Up,” that he would begin to be recognized for his artistic depth as well. That chorus would lead to Tetraz’ decision to allow Sam to release “Boughetto,” an eight- song opus of unabashed lyricism and beat artisanship mastery. The EP, while critically acclaimed, would be received with lukewarm response from the record buying public. Eager to prove his worth as an artist, Sam returned to the studio to work on his second EP, “Bruce Leeroy,” and after receiving more critical acclaim on his leadoff single from the project, “Up,” the project would later be shelved due to complications within the label. It was then Sam Peezy decided to take matters into his own hands. Armed with nothing but a few catchy hooks, Sam returned to the legendary Woodshed Studios in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to create his current masterpiece, “Black Label.” After shooting and releasing the video for the lead single from “Black Label,” bearing the same title, Sam Peezy’s infectious hooks and melodic yet gutter tracks began to virally infect the internet to the tune of over 225k views on Sam’s YouTube channel, which includes the official video for “Black Label (They Want That Peezy),” as well as leaks from the “Black Label” mix tape such as “I Got It,” “One Million,” and “I Get So Blowed.” Sam’s catchy new sound has taken the world by storm, as evidenced by his video being placed on over thirty hip-hop blog sites across the globe, his mix tape “Black Label” receiving nearly 5k downloads in just two weeks, and the recent cosigning by legendary DJ Smallz, aka Mr. Southern Smoke. Krazy Swag looks to release the second single from the mix tape “Black Label” entitled “I Got It,” late winter. Sam’s debut single “Black Label,” will indeed have you screaming, “you want that Peezy!”
Sam Peezy’s mix tape, “Black Label,” is now available for download on www.datpiff.com.
