into the spotlight in his own right. Jamaican born, where he lived periodically through his childhood, growing up there and in Oval, South London. Taz’ story isn’t your average one, but a triumph over adversity and situation, assisted by self belief, hours of blood, sweat, tears and hard work ‘Cant Contain Me’ follows the overwhelming success of his two limited edition 12” white labels ‘Only God Can Judge Me’ and ‘Wish Me Luck’ that have been tearing up dancefloors and radio shows since late last year. Now signed up to Def Jam, Taz has set about creating a timeless debut album that tells his story and document’s 21st Century life in this country. Wide eyed contemporary soul, realistic social reportage, thought provoking lyricism, sonically evocative and explorative sounds all clash with gritty tough hip hop breaks, the odd heavy guitar riff, and plenty more invention, good ideas and personal expression It’s true to say that UK urban music in 2004, has experienced somewhat of a renaissance, the mainstream media has adopted the underground in the name of cutting edge- but like his affiliate Dizzee Rascal, Taz has evolved his own style Taz will be appearing up and down the country over the next few months, be sure not miss any of these low-key early shows.
