Born in Anchorage, Alaska, Larry Antwain Mcelhaney moved to Georgia at the age of two. By the age of 12, Larry found a passion for music; using instrumentals and a karaoke machine he began recording songs and passing them out among friends and family. By 18, the hobby had become much more than just something fun to do; and from there Osaze was born.

Being featured on hip hop sites such as, Yo Raps and AllHipHop.com, Osaze is no stranger to the hip hop community. Now armed with a powerful message, Osaze will soon be performing at various outreach events and doing public speaking engagements. God's work has to be done and osaze is one of many who have accepted the challenge.
