The world is moving at an average of 1,040 mile per hour, in the city of Los Angeles that speed is ten times as fast for young street athletes trying to outrun the obstacles stacked against them. To survive the warped spin of the hustler's life you must be trained and focused to think, speak, and react like a lightning bolt. The RACE is for your life and the KRAZIER you are; the better. KRAZY RACE, born Mark Ramirez, has been able to survive the darkness and give that darkness a beat deep enough to reverberate through the cement of the streets he's still pounding into the promise lands. 

"The only things I'm leaving behind are blood, sweat & tears...," declares the veteran emcee,"...it has been a decade of writing, rhyming, performing, and mixing but it has also been an era of living and learning." KRAZY RACE is now moving forward at an intense speed with his latest release "NEW WORLD GAMES" due out April 20th,  2004, featuring 15 raw explosives. With Productions by Matrix, RED-ICE, Nate Fox, Dj ACE, Eric C., 5th Battalion, Beelo & Krazy Race himself, NEW WORLD GAMES is an album of street hip-hop reflection that comes from a lifetime of dedication to putting down the word. 

Although the speed of his race can only be compared to the acceleration of his delivery on the mic, KRAZY RACE is a man who knows it takes time to bulid a successful sound not limited to regional politics or gang labels. KRAZY RACE is an emcee trained in the art of building beats that don't stop in your head when the CD does. He is an artist who recognizes the necessity of patience in an industry where all too many burn their dreams out in a flash of misdirected aspiration. KRAZY RACE is a craftsman, one who is never content to settle for the slice of the shine, one man ready to take on the UNIVERSE, always outrunning his own best time. 

From chamber strings to violins, heavy guitar riffs to deep bass lines Krazy Race is not biased to a sound that will jump off the vinyl and into the blood streams of his audiences. "The perfect beat captures the instrumentation of everyday life...it sounds like a heartbeat, alive," expresses the emcee. 

As a scholar of music KRAZY RACE found himself in Atlanta, Georgia where he honed his skills as a production artist and graduated with honors in sound design from The Art Institute of Atlanta... 

Now back in the pit of Southern California's Latino Hip-Hop Movement KrazyRace is once again sparking the scene. Backed by a live fierce guitarist and beats cut from the most creative elements known he is working his way to the front of the stage. Krazy Race delivers flows with an undeniable stage presence and dynamic raw emotions to give an explosive performance. Carrying nothing but his dreams and his mic, KRAZY RACE is challenging lowrider audiences and mosh pits alike to step up to his lyrical whirlwind and dive right in. 

In 2003 KrazyRace has performed or recorded with: Irisscience of Dilated Peoples, Psycho Realm, Tha WhoRidas, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Frost, Rhettmatic from BeatJunkiez, Mellow Man Ace, El Nuevo Xol, Rhyme Poetic Mafia, Earthquake Iinstitute,Tierra, 5th Battalion, Street Platoon and many, many more off da hook groups/artists from the West... along with members of the original KRAZY RACE FAMILY including AZTEC, Richie-Rich, THC, & DaeLA. 

KRAZY RACE has been featured on the AZTLAN FEST 2001 compilation for "Soul Asylum II" released on Kool Arrow Records & soon the be featured on DARK KINGDOM another album with some of the EAST & WEST's heavy hitters...Along with his previously released 4 song EP THE TIME HAS COME on MCR PRODUCTIONS found at KRAZYRACE.IUMA.COM or MP3.COM/KRAZYRACE which defined him as a serious contender in the underground market. 

KRAZY RACE has caught the eye of local news on Fox CHANNEL 11, UPN, and KJLA's HIP-HOP Show and Mun2.  KrazyRace can also be found on LA's airwaves laying down drops for today's most highly rated hip-hop broadcasts. 

Most recent contribution to the advancement of Latin Hip-Hop is the single "DEDICATED" found on THE OLLIN PROJECT from Brownpride.com & Digital Aztlan. This song is an intimate street tribute, "dedicated to those who fought and died for the cause...dedicated to the land of the lost...dedicated to the highly decorated...rest in peace to my one's who didn't make it." 

Unlike many emcees who only bring thier underfed ego's to the studio, Krazy Race is looking out for the next generation by bringing the young & seriously dangerous MIC M.C. to the forefront of the emcees battles. Laughing like a proud father he and the 15 yr.old emcee continue to leave a cipher full of dropped jaws and bruised ego's. ~be on the lookout for MIC M.C.'s "On Campus"~ 

There are no limits or labels tailor fitted to dress KRAZY RACE up in. He wears his styles as loosely as his pants, delving into the mixes most WEST COAST rappers would run from. He is an every man's lyricist, from living the "high" life on joints like "HYDROPONIC DREAMS", to battling the "POWERS" that be on "NEW WORLD GAMES" to cruising a car show on hits like "ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER", Krazy Race is set at a pace that leaves everyone pumped and proud of this emcee who survived the game long enough to bring home his own piece of musical fame... 

THE SAGA CONTINUES...
