As an individual Joe Flizzow arguably the nicest Malaysian MC to ever grip a mic, is a talented writer, lyricist and producer. Forever pushing his boundaries and artistry into new areas and development; a pattern familiar since the late 90′s, where he revolutionized the Malaysian underground Hip Hip scene and forced the music industry to recognize it as a serious music genre. Hip Hop had arrived in Malaysia.
Strong in beliefs and culture, Joe Flizzow proudly wears ‘KL’ on his head – introducing yet another nation pride – The KL cap, originally a Too Phat merchandise that was launched in 2005 and now produced and distributed wholly under his own clothing label State Of Mine Caps, Kartel Clothing.
After 10 years as member of Too Phat, Flizzow is now carving a career as a solo artist with his first album, President (2008)
