Born on the 12th of August right in the middle of 10 children, Nasir Tallington aka Lil Nizzy aka Nizzy Strawz from South Philadelphia was born with a destiny to put on for his city. Nizzy got his start in the boxing ring with dreams of becoming a world champion boxer. As a “dirty young bull” growing up in South Philly this became a responsible outlet of frustration, an opportunity to become famous and keep him off the streets. Inspired by his father’s love for Hip-Hop, Nizzy quickly set his sights on another endeavor and began spending his leisure time in various music studios.
