Born in East Orange, NJ to Wanda Ayres and Jessie Hawkins on July 18, 1977. T.A. Z. first moved to Texas when he was 4 years old then back to New Jersey to live with his father. He found his creative style for poetry in the 5th grade. He won a couple of poetry writing contests. Later as he got older he moved back to houston he teamed up with Z-Ro, Dougie D, and Trae and they became th Guerilla Maab. Around that time T.A.Z had 2yr old daughter and two more kids on the way so he left the groupso that he could work and support his kids. Now T. A. Z. is a part of a new group called the Millennium Riders, he has also produced a solo album called Po Playas comming soon!
Good news, I was really feeling his raps, he said that he left the group, but I remember in an interview with Rakesh (G-Mabb's old producer), Rakesh said T.A.Z got kicked out
