An introverted individual by nature, Azrael expresses his genuine love for the cultural artform of Hiphop through lyricism and sound manipulation. Influenced by the different spectrums of Hiphop from Jay-Z to Wu-Tang, fused with pop-cultural reference from movies and comics, his lyrical format is constantly a diverse and evolving fusion of reality, imagination, honest expression, positivity, rawness and a touch of braggadocio swag through creative wordplay accompanied with varied delivery and flow.

Occasionally, he indulges in the art of crafting beats as The IZA. His production style is a sample-laden, raw loop-chopping approach which is oriented towards the minimalistic and dirty "boom bap" sound of golden age Hiphop.

A driving force behind The.XS Collective, Azrael has been contributing to the various aspects of the development and progress of the collective. Aside from being an emcee/producer with crews such as X'Statix, X'Scapists and the now defunct Decepticons, he also contributes as a graphic designer, recording/mixing engineer, videographer and provides creative direction for the collective in both musical and marketing sense. He conducts production/recording/mixing and other forms of audio and visual alchemistry within the confines of his humble sanctuary he calls The.XS Lab.
