Bliz Gee Talks Music, Madison Roots, and Future Projects on 93.1 JAMZ Local Love

Madison’s own Bliz Gee knows the grind. With a career spanning multiple cities, countless records, and a dedicated fan base, he’s proving that Midwest hip-hop is alive and thriving. I sat down with him on 93.1 JAMZ’s Local Love to talk about his journey, collaborations, and what’s ahead in 2024.

Hometown Love and Hip-Hop Roots

Bliz Gee proudly reps Madison, Wisconsin, but his musical journey has taken him coast to coast. After spending time in Atlanta and Los Angeles, he returned home with fresh experiences and new perspectives. “It don’t get no better than that home team love,” he shared. That love goes both ways, with his tracks getting airplay on JAMZ and fans showing consistent support.

The Power of Collaboration: DJ Q Ball and Shannon

One thing that sets Bliz Gee apart is his commitment to collaboration. He’s one of the few local artists with a dedicated DJ—and not just any DJ—DJ Q Ball, a legend in the game who even appeared in the classic movie Belly. “Q Ball’s always on the ones and twos for me,” Bliz Gee said, giving props to his longtime collaborator.

Another key figure in his music is Chicago artist Shannon. Their chemistry is undeniable, with hits like Purple Flowers, The One, and Nasty showcasing their dynamic energy. “Every time we do a record together, it gets better,” Bliz Gee said. Their seamless fusion of hip-hop and R&B makes their sound stand out in today’s music scene.

Breaking Down the Music

Bliz Gee’s music is a blend of storytelling, wordplay, and real-life experiences. His track Purple Flowers plays with double entendres—so much so that even his mother initially questioned its meaning. “Mary Jane is a girl in a way, I guess,” he laughed.

Another standout, The One, is an anthem about being that special person in someone’s life, mixing smooth R&B vibes with a hard-hitting beat from DJ Pain 1. “Before I was even done writing, I sent it to Shannon, and she was all in,” Bliz Gee recalled.

Then there’s Nasty, a track that nods to the ‘80s classic Nasty Girl with a reimagined melody that fits right in with today’s club scene. “We didn’t sample it, but we flipped that vibe,” he explained, showing his ability to blend nostalgia with modern sounds.

Diving Into Deeper Records

Bliz Gee doesn’t just make feel-good tracks—he’s got depth. His song War Building Seven was born out of a tense situation where he chose collaboration over competition. “I wanted unity, not tension,” he explained. Instead of engaging in a rap beef, he responded with bars that shut it down.

Another powerful record, Talk About It, featuring Chicago’s Debo, was written during the 2020 protests and riots. With a serious tone and a news clip intro, the track captures the social climate of the time. “Debo speaks on what was happening in the inner city, and I touch on the bigger picture,” Bliz Gee said.

And then there’s The Real, a deeply personal track that gives fans a raw look into his life. The song resonated so much that even hip-hop veterans took notice. “Cold Hard from Crucial Conflict told me, ‘Man, that’s a dope record. I wish I made it,’” Bliz Gee recalled.
