Ballgreezy
Miami
Throughout the ups and downs of the turbulent world of Hip-Hop, Iconz recording artist Kinta Cox professionally known as “Ballgreezy” or “Greezy” has managed to make his mark in the game. His melodic and captivating single entitled “Shone”, produced by Gorilla Tek, is hypnotizing the streets and setting off major label alarms everywhere!
Ballgreezy comes from one of Miami’s fierce neighborhoods referred to as Little Haiti with his seven siblings. As a teenager, Greezy attended Miami Edison Senior High School, where he honed a natural talent for football and discovered his potential to succeed as an athlete. However, Greezy knew that his maximum potential was greater than sports. “The coaches wanted me to play on the team as the quarterback but I was into bringing quarters back”, Greezy says sarcastically. Subsequently, his life took a different stage. He turned to the life of the streets and was solely driven by the love for money; determined to do whatever it took to get it. Quickly discovering that the street life was not the answer, Ballgreezy then capitalized on the guidance of his older brother and discovered his genuine ability to rap. “If I wasn’t rappin’ I’d be trappin’”, he says in a swaggering manner. “When the block got hot I would jump in the studio with my brother. Then I got addicted to goin’ there and I promised him I would blow in this rap game”.
In 2001 Ballgreezy began transiting into a true master of the microphone and made several guest appearances on local rap artists’ music compilations. In 2003, Ballgreezy put out his debut mix CD entitled “Straight Drop” causing mass hysteria throughout his hood in Little Haiti. By 2005, Ballgreezy’s local popularity led to a recording contract with Iconz Music. He has since shared the stage with numerous A-list, platinum recording artists such as Lil' Wayne, Trick Daddy, Scarface, Trina and G-Unit.
Presently, Ballgreezy’s hit single “Shone,” is hypnotizing the airways and has mapped him in the industry as a force to be reckoned with. The song has a very mainstream appeal as intended by Ballgreezy. “I’m on a grown and sexy vibe right now; making music for the ladies,” said Greezy. The word “Shone” is a widely used slang term for “action” when making reference to singles chasing a little ‘ak-shone’ after the club.
Ballgreezy’s innate lyrical abilities and melodic inclinations serve as platforms for greatness in the music industry. He is currently in the studio working with various producers and recording artists putting together what he calls “a classic Greezy album” for release in the Spring of 2009.
