Born and raised in Montreal,Canada, a 13 year old Young Gizzle starting writing a few rhymes only as a time killer. In 2005, he started creating music at his friend’s house. Why pay for studio time when you can turn your closet into a recording booth? A year later, Gizzle would end up recording his first song, 3 Kingz, alongside Young OG and C-Money. After receiving good feedback from his entourage, Gizzle and his friend Biggz re-released 40 East Production. The street movement was previously a musical project left by his older brother. Now let Gizzle is carrying the torch.
