Like most MCs that stand out in their hometown DAMON Hall aka (DAZE) had to earn respect in his hood. Of course he will always be nagged about his ability to carry NEW JERSEY hip hop since there hasnt been a (Dirty Jerze) representative in the hip-hop class of stars in recent years. If thats the question at hand then the whole hip-hop community is in for a big surprise because his music causes a double threat to all critics. Dazes musical background erupted in the late 90s when he began to write songs as a way of releasing his emotional struggles with his childhood experiences. Unlike many rappers he grew up in the (system) moving from foster homes to boarding schools and detention facilities. Without a supportive family to turn to he used the same childhood experiences to acquire tremendous life skills and values. Daze picked up the mic in 2002 and never looked back since. After hearing him perform live at a talent showcase Rocks The World entertainment offered him a production deal in 2001. This situation put him in the studio where he collaborated with Kurrupt Daz Method Man Deadly Venoms Riggamortis and Mobb Deep for the Rocks The World compilation released in 2002. In 2003 Daze severed ties with that company due to creative differences and began recording his own album. With so many concepts and lyrical ability the album was completed in no time. His full length album featuring 18 classics original compositions is definitely a banger.IN 2011 daze Da Nomad signed a single deal with Derahma Musick/Island Def Jam/Tunecore. Every now and then a new face appears on hip-hop screens worldwide and there is no doubt his music will be compared to the best.
