History
Thearthur Readie Washington IV was born in Winchester, Kentucky, on November 3, 1978,[1] to Tenecia Jackson[1] and Thearthur Readie Washington III.
At the time his debut album was released in 2007, Hazit had relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio.[3] This album, entitled Extra Credit, was released on July 17, 2007, in the United States by Groove Attack Productions.[3] It featured production from Tony Stone and Re:Flex the Architect.[4] A review of Extra Credit written in Relevant compared Hazit to Kanye West and Common, as both a producer and an MC.[5] Another review of this album, written by Omar Mouallem for Exclaim!, praised the album's song "I Just Wanna Come Home" for having "lyrics as contagious as its soulful hook."[6] The album was also ranked as the 59th best hip hop album of 2007 by Quentin Huff in PopMatters.[7]
Since then, he has released several additional albums, including Thr3e in 2012.[8][9] He has also released another album entitled "Fall of the Light Bearer".[10]
