Bizarre: strikingly out of the ordinary as odd, extravagant, and eccentric in style or mood as defined by Webster’s dictionary.
Bizarre as defined by HHDX: crazy, deranged, lunatic or in other words just damn strange, but clever.

After years of being in the shadow of D12 and being sheltered to say the least by lead group member, Marshall Mathers a.k.a. Slim Shady a.k.a. Eminem, Bizarre has decided to take control of his own reigns. His solo debut Hannicap Circus which dropped on June 28th via Sanctuary Records showcases all sides of this strange artist and will prove he’s not just one dimensional.

What made u step out and do your own thang?
I always been a solo artist so I basically waited for a right time. I wanted to wait until the 2nd album got control.

How do your group members feel about you doing your solo thang?
They’re very supportive. They’re doing their own thang too. We all just chillin’ and doing our thang. I got Kon Artis he contributed three tracks and Marshall did a couple so their very supportive.

So is it like a group effort to help you with your solo album?
It wasn't a group effort, but you know we stay in constant contact with each other.

Marshall and Kon Artis did some tracks who else did some tracks?
Eric Sermon did two, Mic Check did three, KMG did two and Marshall did the single and that’s about it. There are a couple of other cats up there.

I know D12 was a different sound. How would you describe the sound of your album?
It’s definitely different. A lot of story telling. It ain’t what people think. It’s story telling, heart felt songs. I don’t want people think it’s another crazy Bizarre album. I think people are going to be surprised on this album.

Do you think your album is calmer than what D12 fans are accustomed to?
It’s wild, but its me telling my story a little more. By being in a group with five guys it’s hard sometimes to express the way you want to express.

I’ve heard some of your lyrics, where do your concepts come from?
My concepts come from smoking. (laughs). My music. Whatever the music tells me.

So whatever flows is what you go with. Whatever comes out comes out.
Yea. Cause I don’t write outside the studio. I only write in the studio.

Okay, so how often is that?
I don’t know. Sometimes once a week and sometimes once a month.

So, if you don’t write outside the studio what do you do when you’re not in the studio?
Oh, I don’t write. (laughs) Continued on page 2 »
