The IZM straddles musical genres and crosses lyrical boundaries that no man dares to. Born Anthony Lawrence Peterson into a Southern family, he was raised in different cities of New Jersey, absorbing pieces of each place along the way. The IZM's musical taste heavily influences his artistic choices and direction in which he takes his music. Be it hip-hop, pop, or rock, The IZM is always sure to create the most entertaining music, defying the current commercial market. The IZM released his second project, KING FOR A DAY, on January 21, 2013 in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
