One San Diego based and East Coast raised artist by the name of Ez Pennybagz "Pennies" has stepped out and stands as a musical revolutionary. He combines a wealth of knowledge that is usually reserved for people twice his age with a goal of standing as the idea that will allow young people to realize that it's cool to think for them selves, and no matter where you come from, anyone can stand as an idea of change for the betterment of society.
Pennies was born and raised in Allentown, PA and spent his early years listening to an eclectic mix of music ranging from Hip Hop to Jazz to Classic Rock music. As he grew up and became old enough to reach his Grandparents record player, Pennies began to pretend he was DJ Polo and D-Nice and would back scratch his Grandfathers "Ohio Player's" records. Although his grandparents didn't appreciate their records being scratched they couldn't help but notice Pennies love for music and they began encouraging him to create music. As his passion began to increase for creating music Pennies relocated across the country to San Diego, CA where he began to network with a number of record labels while perfecting his musical flows.
As Pennies began to appear on various other San Diego artists' projects he realized that to truly create the kind of music and revolution he desired, he needed to step back from being the face of the groups and instead work behind the scenes. Pennies, has spent the last eight years working behind the scenes working with a number of San Diego based Hip Hop labels. This time has allowed him to not only study other artist's creative process but also learn the business of music, which is extremely important for any independent artist to understand. Pennies behind the scenes networking along with his originality; has led him to connecting with a number of entertainment professionals. These professionals all view Pennies as the breath of fresh air the music industry has so desperately been missing. This belief in Pennies abilities has led these professionals to commit their time and resources in the musical revolution that is Pennies upcoming debut solo album, a project that is already being compared to classics like Nas's "Illmatic" and Jay Z's "Reasonable Doubt."
Ez Pennybagz is a breath of fresh air and is more of then just an artist; he is a revolutionary idea that is being communicated through thought provoking lyrics over classic instrumentals.
