PEEZY P

Colbie Polite aka 'Peezzy P' is an Orangeburg, SC native born in the early 90's. Growing up, his family consisted of his mother and 2 brothers. Peezzy P lists his hip-hop influences as Tupac, Hot Boys, NO LIMIT, Pastor Troy, and Lil Boosie. Peezzy P's message in his music is 'get money the right way and avoid the system'. Having seen his older brother in a rap group and not being able to perform or be a part of it, sparked him to write and record on his tape deck and eventually to produce his own music as well. Seeing that he had a natural talent for this he knew that he could go further with his skills. April 14 2012 he won 2nd place at the Elegant Hoodness Musical Program hosted by A.D. The General in Columbia South Carolina, He is also nominated for “Emerging Producer” at The E.H.M.P awards to be held Jan 16 2013 in NYC.
