   Anything But Regula

Humble.. Raw.. Prepared!! Just a few words to describe the Bronx phenomenon Dan Barz. The Harlem born MC created quite a stir; with releases of his independent projects. " Finally Here" and " 2 Roads 1 Destination" with fellow floetcist Gat Tony. Yet despite his accomplishments, he remains down to earth. Centered by those who've come before him; taking in their wisdom and pressing forward to hold his own and build on . Never discouraged in loosing a battle, because he's been trained for war. Barz is not to be underestimated; his catchy word play. Coincides with the way he bounces on a track. Diverse enough to appeal to all who listen; a storyteller of everyday struggles. Labeled a Underdog by the feeble minded but; respected by his peers and those who can see... HE'S PAST REGULA
