Death and Detroit Inspire D12 Member, Bizarre, to Get Priorities Straight

alt

Behind every joke or smile that rapper and D12 member, Bizarre shares is a serious man who has learned the value of life and importance of health, family and giving back. Bizarre reveals that the deaths of two of his fellow D12 members; Proof and Bugz, made him fully re-evaluate his life.

“Proof was a leader of the group so that was a tragedy that we have to deal with every day. I’m now more of a leader and in control of [the] business aspects. When you have two members pass in a group, it makes you more appreciative of life,” he says.  

That newfound appreciation has specifically transferred into the areas of Bizarre’s health and in strengthening the bond between him and his 4-year-old daughter.   


“Personally, I’m eating better and trying to be more healthy. I’m also spending more time with my daughter and my family to make sure I got time for everything instead of just music. I have to … realize that at certain times I have to turn opportunities down for her. You just got to have a balance.”  

Bizarre is also hoping to balance out the economic depression his hometown of Detroit is experiencing by offering inspiration and an opportunity in the music business through his new album, Friday Night at St. Andrews.  


“We are dependent on Chrysler, GM and Ford and they are closing down and we’re trying to stay positive, and hopefully, it will get better. I try to inspire [people] as much as possible. We’ve got producers and young cats who never had a placement before, and they are on my record and that’s given them hope that things can happen,” he says. –souleo
