Unsigned Hype: Who Is Miz? Plus Video-I Can Do Better
The Midwest music scene has thrived for decades with R&B, rock, soul, pop and Hip Hop music, however it can be a challenge to try and define the scene as a whole. Fortunately for young songwriter/performer Miz, the incredible influences from his region have given him inspiration beyond measure.
As the video for his independently released single “I Can Do You Better” featuring Chris Rich has garnered impressive attention from fans, Miz is readying the DJ Scream-hosted mixtape 100% Certified. He also just premiered his next single “Feeling Myself” featuring Ca$h, and is preparing his debut album Young & Famous with Solidified Entertainment. Check out his video below.
Louisville, Kentucky native Miz has been writing songs since he was just 10-years-old, and by the time he was 12, Miz was performing with his group Young Rydaz throughout the Southeast and Midwest. The trio opened for major artists like Lil Wayne, Big Tymers, Juvenile and Lil Jon, and Miz gained enormous experience in his pre-teen travels, sparking his desire to write hit songs.
“My music comes from the heart, and I enjoy writing about what happens on a daily basis,” Miz explains. “I have the swag that Hip Hop fans want from a rapper, but I bring them real music. I write R&B, rock, anything you can name, I do it. The same thing Drake is doing… I’ve been doing it. He was able to show the world that he can do R&B and Hip Hop together, but I can write rock, country music, whatever. My music is universal, with more of a Midwest flavor. I don’t think people fully grasp the Midwest side of the music – it’s some out-of-the-box type of stuff.”

The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene. 
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up.
