P.a.Z.E.

P.a.Z.E spent the first 24 years of his life in a city he would call "The Double O" - Ontario, Oregon. The seventh of eight children, Adam was raised on a variety of different musical styles from the corridos and cumbias his parents listened to, to the oldies and Tejano mixes of his brothers, to the classic rock, R&B, and Spanish love songs that his sisters played. When Adam first got a glimpse of the Hip-Hop culture, artists like Public Enemy, Bone Thugs˜N˜Harmony, and the late Eazy-E captivated his attention, and he was immediately addicted. Loving the different styles and forms of the music -- the smooth West coast styles of Snoop Dogg, the East coast grime of Wu-Tang Clan, and even the Southern bounce of Outkast and No Limit Records, he knew that his calling would take him to the stage.

At 15, Adam rocked his first show with Raul Chavez, better known now as DJ Que, and at 17 he was given the name Pazemaker because of the way he could easily change his rhyme speed and flow to match a beat. In 2000, Adam, who had taken on the name as Powerful Az Ever or Paze, for short, started LockJaw Entertainment with DJ Que and other local Double O' MCs. It was here where PAzE met Estevan Meza, aka Mister E-Dog, and formed a bond with him that extended into a shared project and duo now known as Double O' Ryderz. Through Dub-Sac, Paze released two underground solo albums, and the Double O' Ryderz album "916 To Da 541." In 2005, PAzE and Mister E-Dog are on the verge of dropping their first major album "Cali-Oregon Connected." PAzE has moved to Boise, Idaho and has worked with many of the local artist including Brown X, Related Rhymes, Chew Gums, Untouchable, and is featured on Texas T's radio single "Be Your Girl (remix)." PAzE hooked up with Beat Down Productions to record and release his solo album entitled "Most Requested," and in May 2007, Paze and Mister E Dog return with their highly-anticipated second release - Last of a Dying Breed.

Mister E

Born in Southern California and raised in Sacramento, Estevan Meza is known as Mister E Dog in the Hip Hop world. At an early age, he began writing his own poetry, perfecting his writing skills, and soon his poetry was transformed into rap lyrics. E Dog was heavily influenced by old school rappers such as Run DMC, L.L. Cool J, Grand Master Flash and others from that era as well as Ice T, Easy E, N.W.A., Tupac, Too $hort, S.P.M., Mac Dre and other rappers of today. In the late 90's after the birth of his son, he moved to Ontario, Oregon where he met his rap partner, P.Az.E. The two instantly bonded and became not only friends but business partners. P.Az.E. introduced E Dog to other local rappers. The year was 2002 and the Double O Ryderz were working on their first album. Their first taste of success was the hit, "Double O Thang." This song generated a big buzz and opportunities opened up for them to showcase their talent in cities throughout the northwest. These opportunities also gave Mister E Dog the chance to hone his ability to produce beats and to become an artist with great stage presence. While on the road he sold his solo CDs to network with other artists and to put his name out in the rap game. This method of selfpublicity has provided the opportunity for him to produce beats for many artists, ranging from southern California to the bay area, and from eastern Oregon to Texas.In October of 2006, after many years of dedication and hard work, Mister E Dog signed his first recording contract with Sworn In Records.
