Twenty six year old Shah Leezy hails from the borough of Staten Island, home of the Wu-Tang Clan. He fell in love with hip-hop at the age of seven imitating his favorite rappers such as Jay-z, Eminem, and Nas. By the time he was 13 he was writing raps and honing his craft. Leezy brings a different style to the table by representing his Middle Eastern roots through his music. Shah is Persian and tells his stories about growing up in a post 9/11 era in New York City.
