Mohamad Nazreen Norzali was only 13 when his father died. As the only child, Nazreen – or Juzzthin as he is known professionally – needed an outlet to express himself. That’s when he discovered hip-hop.
“I was sitting at a basketball court and I made some friends. They introduced me to this song Mathematics by Mos Def. Then, I heard another song called Life Is Good. I could really relate. He’s a Muslim rapper who speaks for himself. It really blew my mind back then,” he said in an interview recently.
