For Klazik, writing lyrics isn’t just a process; it’s a state of being. His latest single “Get to You” featuring DJ Luke Nasty has taken off, resonating with audiences across platforms and showcasing his unique creative approach. Over the past decade, he’s moved away from traditional pen-and-paper writing to using his phone’s voice recorder app, allowing him to capture his ideas as they flow naturally. “I wouldn’t call it freestyling, but it’s close,” he explains. Klazik’s inspiration can strike at any moment—from a casual conversation to a current event. His ability to channel these moments into impactful lyrics sets him apart. Tracks like “Get to You” not only highlight his lyrical dexterity but also his ability to create music that speaks to the heart. His influences stem from an early love for clever, lyrical rap. Artists like DMX, Biggie, Busta Rhymes, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Mase shaped his early understanding of rap as an art form. He gravitated toward wordplay, storytelling, and rhythmic complexity, all of which have become hallmarks of his own music. Klazik also credits his creative process to his environment. Whether it’s a conversation, a personal experience, or even a joke, his surroundings fuel his songwriting. He no longer writes lyrics down but instead records them in the moment, allowing his thoughts to flow naturally. “When I get in the creative zone, the thoughts come faster than I can write,” he explains. This organic process is what gives his music a natural, authentic feel, a signature trait evident in “Get to You.” Adding to his success, Klazik was recently recognized with the FIRST Adult Contemporary Hip Hop Award at the Iowa Music Awards, solidifying his influence in the genre. His contributions to the T1 All Stars Compilation, which recently hit 500,000 streams, further demonstrate his ability to create music that resonates.
