I like Lee Mazin. After reading a recent feature in Philadelphia Weekly, I gathered even more respect for the South Philadelphia native.

Why?

Well, she represents a lot of millenials and generation xers who went to college and/or graduated college during the recession and had to created a career in something other than their major.

According to Philadelphia weekly, Mazin, a Delaware State University gradute was looking for a job in psychology, her major throughout college. Instead, she quickly wound up a much-looked-to and inspiring rapper and public figure, cutting danceable tracks such as “Back It Up,” which wound up as part of Power 99’s summer rotation, as well as deeply personal songs such as “Walk In.”

As per A.D. Amorosi of Philadelphia Weekly:

All that, and still, 2017 is Lee’s busiest year yet. Starting with the release of a new EP last week (Tens and Fives), a full album project due out in May (The Level UP) and a tour of area high schools this week that finds the rapper-singer-producer bouncing between two afternoon concerts per day in the name of female empowerment and fresh Mazin music, time is money for Mazin.

Disassociating herself from Mill didn’t happen on unfriendly terms. It was simply time for a change for Mazin. “I thought it was better to go on my own because I was an independent artist even when I was affiliated with Dreamchasers,” she says. “I was moving the very same way before I signed to them, so, I just decided to cut the ties. I still consider Meek to be good people, and still cut music with him, but I really just wanted to be independent.”

Ah, the independent grind! I respect it.

Doing music independently and appearing on Oxygen Network’s Sisterhood of Hip Hop was genuinely a great look for Lee Mazin.

On a recent episode of Scoop B Radio Overtime, Lee Mazin told me just how beneficial that show was. “It’s just raw and real like that’s the simplest way that I can put it,” Lee Mazin told me on Scoop B Radio. “You really get to tap into our lives like not just the personal, but you get to see the studio sessions you see the struggles in the studio you see what we going through building a team, moving independently feeling like you’re not getting a certain amount of support from certain people.”

Check out Lee Mazin and Audra The Rapper’s Chat with Scoop B Radio’s Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson:

Lee Mazin added:

“You also get to see the things that we are accomplishing the support from one another like the things we’re going through you know five different female artists you put us in one room and it may be something but at the end of the day we still have the support from each other and you get to see all of that. We’re giving you the real insight on our journeys.”
