Born and raised in the streets of Brooklyn NY, Matt Allen also known as M.A. DaZombie was raised around music all his life.  M.A. related to many of the rappers of his generation including Biggie, Jay-z and loved the poetic story telling style of MC’s such as Slick Rick the Ruler. The first time M.A. grabbed a microphone was at a block party on St. Marks, immediately falling in love with the word play and punch lines that would move the crowed and make people laugh. Although this event created a new love for music in his heart, M.A. decided to remain with his original plan to continue with school and focus on sports.  Soon after starting college M.A. bumped into local producer D.Cutter, who had a small studio which consisted of a small computer mic and speakers, but would draw many of the local rappers every Thursday due to the atmosphere of competition and frequency of local hits that came from his studio. This is where M.A. decided to mold his craft going by the name of Matt Murder, M.A. started out as a battle rapper.  With his hard punch lines and clever delivery technique, M.A. quickly began to stand out as one of the most impressive artist in the group, along with Flow Dubs.  After developing a unique style of his own M.A. started performing at local showcases and open mic contest, which allowed M.A. to make a name for him-self and at the same time build the confidence and courage needed to take his rap career to the professional level. 
 Realizing the scene in Miami was growing and had always been his second home, M.A. decided to relocate so that his talents would be more visible to those who could help him achieve his goals. Although it was a hard transition M.A. was able to connect with different artist/groups that had significant ties within the recording industry, building relationships that would be key in his success, and took the opportunity to learn about the industry which was anything but familiar to him. M.A. would go on to enter and win many contest including “Make it or Break it”, have a freestyle published in Hip-Hop Weekly, and his songs played on several radio stations including Shady45 and 99Jams. “Dose” one of his most celebrated underground hits was a song produced by Tracy Tyler another Producer/Artist on the rise who had produced tracks for artist such as Rick Ross ft. Boosie BadAzz (Nickel Rock).  His efforts has earned him an ever growing following, and even though M.A. has opened up for many mainstream artist, he has always asserted that he will never stop, never give up just like the Zombie moniker that was given to him by those who witness his passion and energy, M.A. will continue until he has accomplished what he has set out to accomplish. No matter what obstacles lay ahead…M.A. is on an unstoppable road to success. #TeamZee
