You have to give it a Listen

    O.Z Bangaz kicks off the release of his EP I'm Possible with the the debut of the video of the first single titled "What's Your Name? At first listen, this may sound like another braggadocios rap song, but it's a little deeper than that O.Z says. "My inspiration for making this song was the various ways people attempt to ask me who or what I am. Usually when I get that question it's someone asking me very politely or in a very disrespectful way about Albinism. So the lyrics to this song are primarily responses that I have given people. Depending on my mood and how the interaction is, determines whether my response is straight forward, sarcastic, witty and clever, or just as disrespectful as the person asking the question.

    Most people think Albinism is an ethnicity or race. When I tell them that I'm Black and that Albinism is a medical condition that exist in every part of nature, they are confused. This either leads to me explaining that there are White, and Japanese people with Albinism and so on, or the person telling me that I'm lying and that there is no way that I'm Black. O.Z continues by saying, " After having so many people tell you that you are lying when you are telling the truth, you start to get creative with responses. Thus the lyrics:

DADDY WAS A BOOM-BOX BLASTING FULL THROTTLE

MOMMA WAS HOT MISS LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

AND YOU WONDER WHY I CAME OUT DIFFERENT -NOW YOU KNOW

SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT I'M MIXED -MULATTO

I'M A HUNDRED PROOF BLACK, BUT THE SKIN LACKS THE COCOA

    O.Z says that his inspiration for the EP I'm possible was to show that an artist and human like him exists. "I don't always fit into others perception of what things should be, what a Black person should be or look like, what an artist does or looks like, how many jobs, skills, or talents one person can have, how a man behaves, etc. I've always been the type of guy to march to the sound of his own drum. I've been both praised and criticized for it, but its cool. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm a survivor. I'm confident and comfortable in my own skin. Impossible is nothing when I'm Possible."

02 What's Your Name

This skit was created to depict some of the interactions that O.Z Bangaz often has a person born with Albinism. O.Z Says "I usually get asked the same questions in one form or another. Can you see in the sun? Can you be in the sun, Can you tan or do you usually get sunburned? People often like to compare me or mistake me for other individuals born with Albinism, because we have similar attributes, especially Black people with Albinism. This really does happen everyday or every other day." 

Since this is such a frequent occurrence in his life, O.Z wanted to share it on the project to dispel myths about people with Albinism. Furthermore, O.Z wanted to address how society treats any person who for one reason or another may have been deemed other. This usually happens to people who are homeless or with other special needs.

01 Skit 1

O.Z Bangaz is a big fan of Hip-Hop dance songs, club bangers, etc. So of course he had to include a couple of his own on the EP. This song was made for all the beautiful women that like to let loose at the club, and move like they don't have bones.

03 No Bones

04 Skit 2

This track was made to address accountability. If someone succeeds or fails, it's usually because of something they've done. People are quick to put things on other people as in, "I put that on my momma I'll pay you back.  or, i swear to god I'm telling the truth!" Why not just put it on your own honor. Because at the end of the day, if it goes bad or good, it's on you.

05 I Put That On Me

07 Skit 3

O.Z initially wrote this song as a note to self, after hearing a song by Yolanda Adams, that basically stated you have to pray for and encourage yourself sometimes. One can't expect others to lift them up if they can't lift themselves up.This song was just meant to be a song of encouragement. It's about enduring the race and not giving up. it's also the perfect song to workout too.

09 Too Hot

"Can't Turn Away" was created by O.Z Bangaz to create or further the dialogue and conversations that came about from world events that involved individuals like Trevon Martin, Freddy Grey, Laquan McDonald, and so many more. O.Z felt that it was his obligation as an artist and a Chicagoan to make this song.

All the Way Up/ I Put That On Me REMIX - O.Z Bangaz

O.Z Bangaz was inspired by Donald Glover's: A.K.A Childish Gambino's hit record "This is America". He wrote a response or rather an addition to the record, to further the dialogue that Childish Gambino initiated. O.Z Bangaz whole heartedly agrees with the message and symbolism that Childish Gambino depicted. We hope you enjoy! Let us know what you think.

Also! O.Z Bangaz wrote the lyrics from the perspective of America (Amerikkka) just like Childish Gambino did.

Verse 1 Lyrics
THIS IS "AMERIKKKA"
DON'T CATCH YOU SLIPPIN UP
DON'T CATCH YOU SLIPPIN UP
LOOK WHAT I'M WHIPPIN UP
THIS IS "AMERIKKKA"
DON'T CATCH YOU SLIPPIN UP
DON'T CATCH YOU SLIPPIN UP
LOOK WHAT I'M WHIPPIN UP
THIS IS "AMERIKKKA"
I SPELL THAT WITH 3 Ks
YOU KNOW WE KEEP SLAVES
THE 13TH AMENDMENT
MADE SLAVERY PERMANENT
I KNOW WHAT YOU SCARED OF
I'M INVADING YOUR AREA
NOW THAT'S MY AREA
WE WANT IT - WE TAKE IT
WE COMING - EMBRACE IT
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HATE IT
YOUR CULTURE - ERASE IT
WE GOT A MILLION WAYS
FROM THE FIRST TO THE SEVENTH DAY
TO KILL - SO YOU BETTER PRAY
IF YOU OWE THEN YOU BETTER PAY
IF I OWE THEN IT'S OKAY
HOLD YOUR BREATH AND THEN WAIT

Verse 2 Lyrics
WHERE THE KIDS? WHERE THE KIDS? WHERE THE KIDS?
I WANT TO SEE WHO'S WHO
OH YOU FROM THE HOOD? BOO HOO!
I'MA ELEVATE YOU TO A PRISON ROOM!
LOOK HOW I FLEX
YEAH YEAH - I SWING AT THEY NECK
YEAH YEAH - I'M SO RIGHT
MY BOMBS GOT MIGHT
YOU SO WEAK
YOU WRONG - DON'T SPEAK
YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE FREE
YOU STILLL WORKING FOR ME
YOU GOT MONEY LIKE ME?
THAT'S SO FUNNY TO ME
THIS IS A TELEVISION
YOU SO CONFUSED
FAKE NEWS - FAKE NEWS - FAKE NEWS -
MY POWER I WILL NEVER LOSE
I ONLY CARE ABOUT 2 THINGS
ONE OF THEM IS WHITE - AND ONE OF THEM IS GREEN
THIS AINT A MUSLIM BAND
THIS IS MY MASTER PLAN
THIS IS AMERIKKKA
I SPELL THAT WITH 3 Ks
I DON'T NEED A BUMPSTOCK
I WAS BORN WITH AN A.K
RUN! BURRRRRAH!
