Lazy J

For some artists music is like a language that needs to be learned, for others it’s understood from birth. For Lazy J it’s simply natural instinct. Not even out of his teens Jelal ‘Lazy J’ Edmonds has already released two mix tapes, stacked up countless features, appeared on national television, and acquired a fan base into the tens of thousands. As one of the most unique young talents to grace Australia’s hip hop scene, it’s no surprise. Exploring his talent and love of music from a young age, Lazy started writing his own rhymes while still in primary school. Choosing to study the raps of legends Tupac, Notorious B.I.G and NWA over maths, science, and history, it was his mother who gave him the name we all have come to know, by telling him he was “so lazy” for never doing his homework.
