I live and breath to assist the local unsigned and independent artist reach their potential. Watching young talent blossom into seasoned artist and grind daily building their brands, and gaining recognition regionally and nationally Reminds me of the old days when some of the greatest acts in music history all performed and toured together and shared a common bond, the love of music. I created this blog "Headphone Politics" because I'm a Musik Head and my partners are Musik Headz as well and we wanted a way to show the power of support for our local talent and giving them a platform to showcase why we should be listening to them, and allow you the fan to Learning a little about them so that you can decide if you want to know more about them and their music. Our "Who's Hot In The 845" will showcase those artist we feel represent the best in the region, and this will cover all genre's. Today we will feature Day Nizzy of U.S. (Unique Soldiers USFH)

I give people me and I could be satisfied with having one fan that appreciated me for doing so. I love music because I feel words are powerful and by me providing the world with my perspective it can empower someone else in the process.
HEADPHONE POLITICS - HOW DID YOU GET TO BE WHO YOU ARE? TELL US WHAT MAKES YOU YOU?
DAY NIZZY - I think being from the hood (Newburgh, NY) but also seeing what the rest of the world outside of the hood made me the man I am today.

My mother tried pursuing a rap career and had connections with some legendary people in hip hop. Names like Lord Finess and Dj Premier, but when she had me it kind of slow her down, so I'd like to believe that I was brought into this world to finish what she started.
