Crazy Noise is the 1989 debut album by New Haven, Connecticut rapper and producer Stezo. After being a dancer for hip-hop group EPMD, Stezo signed a solo record deal with Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records and recorded this debut album. It features two charting singles: "Freak the Funk" and "It's My Turn”, plus fan favorites “To The Max” and “Bring The Horns.” Crazy Noise is chock full of crafty rhymes and original loops, and Stezo was the first person ever to use some of these more notable loops. Stezo died in his sleep on April 29, 2020, leaving behind a legacy begging to be properly commemorated. This reissue is one step in that process. Crazy Noise is an overlooked and underappreciated album that serves both as a time capsule for hip-hop’s late 1980s golden era, and a lesson in keeping it real. An overlooked detail is that the album was mixed and engineered by the late great Paul C, who also produced for the Ultramagnetic MCs, Biz Markie and, Eric B and Rakim.
