Azrael is a lyricist & producer/DJ from The.XS Collective who expresses his genuine love for the cultural artform of Hiphop through lyricism and sound manipulation. He is also a driving force behind the creative direction of The.XS Collective, playing various roles behind the development and progress of SGHipHop’s hardest working HipHop coalition.
Influenced by the different spectrums of Hiphop fused with pop-cultural references from movies and comics, his lyrical format is constantly a diverse and evolving fusion of reality, imagination, honest expression, positivity, rawness and a touch of braggadocio swag through creative wordplay accompanied with varied delivery and flow.
Occasionally, he indulges in the art of crafting beats and DJ turntablism as The IZA. His production style is a sample-laden, raw loop-chopping approach oriented towards a dirty minimalistic boom bap Hiphop. He conducts various forms of audio and visual alchemistry within the confines of his humble sanctuary he calls The.XS Lab.
