NEW ROCHELLE, NY - Growing up in the streets. Pi-ZZO P knows that hard work and dedication are needed to be a successful hip-hop artist to get to the next level. Pi-ZZO P’s latest EP, “All Eyes On Us,” proves he is a rising artist.
“I’m an artist from the 914 Westchester. I’m born and raised out of New Rochelle, NY, coming to you straight from the gutter,” said Pi-ZZO P.
After losing his brother to gun violence, Pi-ZZO P shifted his focus and went all-in on his music. “Once my brother passed away, I got real serious with music. I put my own into it and ‘cuz telling people my story, like how I feel myself. I’ve been on a journey; I feel like this is just the beginning of going into my new adventure. I’ve been through a lot, and I’m showing the world my creativity, especially with this tape,” said Pi-ZZO P.
As an independent hip-hop artist, Pi-ZZO P is a versatile rapper who uses melodic raps with hardcore lyrics. While some say Pi-ZZO P utilizes drill music, he disagrees, contending he prefers melodic beats.
“All Eyes On Us” contains nine tracks that have a catchy yet fast flow. “I am greedy with my raps, but you can still hear my lyrics,” he explained. “Sometimes I get loud, especially when I am talking about some shit that happened and how shit gets hard, and times get rough. The energy is fierce. I can come on more aggressive because that is how I am feeling.”
That fiery spirit that propels Pi-ZZO P is evident in his latest EP. While each single has personal meaning for the New York native, he said, “‘All Eyes On Us’ is the feeling I get that everybody’s been watching me and my peoples ever since I lost my brother.”
The single “Love Cry” focuses on understanding love and the ever-changing relationship with your partner. While the song focuses on love, Pi-ZZO P uses aggressive raps to express his feelings. Paying tribute to his cousin who got killed in 2008, “Ray Ray” is packed with Pi-ZZO P’s grief and anger that being in the wrong place at the wrong time caused his death. Bringing a little bit of his Jamaican nationality to “All Eyes On Us,” the track “BadMon” gets real with his hustler lifestyle and street mentality.
Taking inspiration from Master P, Pi-ZZO P is more than a writer and rapper. He owns the Passion Dreams record label and is a veteran in the studio. “I’ve been around the studio my whole life. I like to sit there and mess with everything. If I’m making a song, I’m doing the engineering and mixing it too, but I never mess with the beat,” he said.
While adding more artists to his label, Pi-ZZO P continues to hustle his music, and fans love it. Looking ahead to 2022, Pi-ZZO P said, “Long live my brothers, and remember the name Pi-ZZO P, because I’m coming in hard.”

Calebdoee’s new hip hop single “YOU&ME” turns up the heat with a steamy beat built around guitar chords and echoing water drops.
The carefully crafted lyrics are all about “us versus the world,” and an ode to the woman who is “the only one that I want to be next to.”
Go ahead, take away everything that’s stressing me
I promise I never fumble, come take a jet with me
Cause my word is all I got
Music and your love I never flop
It don’t matter what they see
It’s gotta be you and me
Part of a three-song EP titled The Leftovers, “YOU&ME” was recorded at Successful Musik Studios in Fort Wayne.
Born Caleb Martin, the Indiana-based rapper’s previous release was a concept album, Corleone: Part II. Inspired by the iconic main character from The Godfather, for the release Calebdoee took on the persona of Don Corleone, exploring themes of gangsters, family, and destiny. The album explores romance as well, and tracks like “Apollonia (Apple Of My Eye)” foreshadow the current single.
With “YOU&ME,” Caleb says he is getting back to himself. He’s writing about his own life, and focused on having fun with music.
He says, “This mixtape was me being able to get back to form, be true to me before I started working on the project and being able to shape my mindset back to just getting back to having fun with music.”
Calebdoee has been releasing music since 2019, when he dropped his first mixtape, Few Know. On that record he worked with engineer T-Zank, with whom he teamed up again on the current single and EP. “Zank” has been a strong creative partner for Calebdoee, not only engineering but also mixing, mastering, and co-producing tracks.
The 29-year-old rapper first got turned on to music production while taking an audio engineering class in high school. With those production skills, he knew he could build on his high regard for the old school sound of hip hop — think jazz, conscious, and boom-bap subgenres — to create new music that does justice to the artform.
The album art for The Leftovers was created by Caleb’s sister, Kelsey (“ogkillakels”), who does all of the rapper's cover art. He says, “She’s done all my covers; we’ve got years worth of covers. She’s one of the biggest contributors to my music, and I couldn’t be more thankful for my sister.”
As Calebdoee keeps building momentum in the Midwest hip hop scene, “YOU&ME” is a showcase for both his musical talents and his personality. With a music video and live performances on deck for this summer, things are heating up quickly for Calebdoee and his new recordings.
“YOU&ME” is out now with promotional support from Starlight PR. Follow Calebdoee at the links below.
