Lazaris The Top Don

Lazaro Martinez, popularly known by his stage name, Lazaris The Top Don, is a Puerto Rican & Cuban. He is a Master of Ceremony from South Bronx The Hunts Point. He is also the nephew of the Legendary Arscenio Rodrigues. Lazaris is also in the royal family bloodline of Dons and considered part of a Musical Dynasty.

Background check

His story began when he was a young kid. Lazaris’ mother would play his uncle’s Arsenio music all through his childhood and teenage years. Little did she know that she was planting a musical seed in Lazaris, who would later be a prominent musician.

Secondly, Lazaris, the top don, got exposed to local HipHop pioneers such as DJ Kool Herc and Kurtis Blow. Lazaris said that these men’s ‘beats’ helped him develop an innate desire for creative musical expression.

Eventually, everything in him started manifesting, and at 9, Lazaris made his way around the local ‘battling’ circuit. This is the ultimate litmus test for any bona fide serious ‘rapper’ as it is a no holds barred musical duel of lyrical improvisation where, after the dust settles, only one person is usually left standing. A scenario Lazaris usually found himself in due to this skill he was successful in mastering.

Major Advancements   

Since then, he has had exponential growth in his career. In 2008, he got his big break and records played on Eminem’s radio show. He was also hosted in Legendary Cipher, a special slot run by Styles P from the Lox Dblock Ruff Ryders, who was rating all the unsigned Masters of Ceremony (MC) then. He was rating them in respect to their records and creativity.

After that, Lazaris songs made a massive impact on the listeners, and his first mixtape caught more than 10K downloads. That motivated him, and he kept moving to date. He is now dropping an independent album titled Svccess in his path volume 1.

Defining moments for Lazaris The Top Don 

Lazaris, in an exclusive interview, agreed that every career is a work in progress. He meant that there is no time you can see or feel that you have reached the top position ever. Thus he has been working and perfecting his art, and to his amazement, his hard work was recognized. He received his first endorsement from one of the HipHop stars while he was 16 years old.
