Beazy, real name Afolabi Durotoye, was born in Jos but grew up in Lagos and is the second son of Akin and Abake Durotoye. After a few years in England, He moved back to Abuja in 2008, where he quickly immersed himself in the local music scene, working with producers such as VC Perez, TY-Mix and Sazzy to name a few.

To put it simply, Beazy is a phenomenal rapper. But as he admits, being a good rapper doesn’t quite cut it these days. In a time when the world seems to be brimming with rap talent, a lot of things set him apart from the horde. It goes way beyond his witty punch lines, catchy hooks or even his cool demeanour on a song. It also extends to his perfectionist approach to music and his work ethic. In just three years, he has amassed an archive of close to 200 recorded songs and is still recording regularly.His attitude is also a breath of fresh air because unlike most, his aspiration is not only to be the local champ, but to be recognized worldwide as one of the best, if not the best, at his profession.

It is most certainly a very bold ambition by this young Nigerian, and one that he realizes is not going to be easy to achieve, to put it very mildly. But according to him “with back breaking work, belief in God, yourself and your team, absolutely anything is possible.”

In May 2009,he released the "Get Money Stay Fly" Mixtape which has since gotten over 100,000 downloads.2 songs from the mixtape "What's your name" and "Lagos Girl" have been receiving regular airplay on radio stations in Lagos and Abuja.In December 2009,he released "The Affidavit" a 16 track,rap only compilation to serve as further proof of his rap credentials.
