Delz (aka DeLuZiOn aka Kidpac) is a Serbian born rapper who resides in New York, USA. He is known for his outspoken and progressive views on issues such as the Holocaust, race relations, the 'gaydar', liberals and slavery. A staunch iron-fisted conservative, Delz stands out from the hip-hop scene (and the punk scene that he has recently tried to infiltrate) as being, as critics put it, "backwards, illiterate, and racist".

Early Career

Delz began his career on the notorious B-Boys.com (now known as Project Rhyme), under the moniker Kidpac (Delz once described all children of hip-hop as being "Tupac's children"). He began netceeing but found that his true niche lay in biting (biting in hip-hop refering to stealing (or 're-using') rhymes that other rappers have without telling anyone). Delz found that he was winning battle after battle, but somehow it lacked the 'realness' that is so important in hip-hop. Delz retired from netceeing and took some time out to go back to Serbia, somewhere he hadn't been since his early childhood.

Serbia

Kidpac, a lifetime supporter of Slobodan Milošević, came back to his homeland to find that it wasn't what he had left it to be. He saw, as he would later refer to it in the song 'My Struggle': "A wartorn country/No mum left to hug me/Strap my gat incase niggas try to jump me". Disgusted at the way NATO had handled their "peace keeping", Kidpac threw down his old name and adopted DeLuZiOn (later to be shortened to just Delz). 'My Struggle' also highlighted the issue of his name change: "Kidpac died with all the Serb Nationalists/I blame Muslim women, I'd slap a brown bitch".

Holocaust Denial

Upon coming back to America, Delz was unrelenting. He won a record contract from a radio show competition and just recorded track after track of anguish. He wanted the world to know what Delz knew. Liberals, left-wingers, civil rights activists and intellectuals were offended greatly with some of the more extreme things Delz had to say (from quoting Hitler to outright Holocaust denial (Delz has since stated that he is not a Nazi sympathiser though)), but Delz found that the overall message and what he "brings to the table" is far more important than worrying about "offending some people".

The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) tried to get radio stations to not play any of Delz's tracks and picketed for record stores to not stock them. It seemed, however, that these organisations had seen Delz to be a much bigger threat than he was, as most places weren't stocking or playing Delz's tracks on their own accord. It seemed that the critics (or "haterz" as Delz would later label them) found that Delz had no actual abilities or rapping skills. Delz never considered this to be a reason why he shouldn't be allowed to rap, but, buckling under the pressure, he sought refuse on the White Supremacist record label Resistance Records' internet messageboard.

Comeback?

This is where Delz's love of punk and hardcore music grew from. Taking inspiration from such bands as the Angry Aryans, Delz found that he could express his views in a way he felt much more fitting. Gone were the days of biting Louis Logic's controversial song, 'The Ugly Truth'. But as for what is to come, nothing has yet been stated. A hint of things has been suggested (Delz has been sporting an Ethan Fromey monikor), but Delz is not due into the studio again until the end of 2006.
