What Musical Genre Do You Feel Best Describes Your Music And How Would You Describe Your Sound?

How Did You Get Your Name? Is There A Story?
I grew up in the heat of Hip Hop and Rap. My Nickname used to be Tupac. Crazy right! Getting older, I went through a lot of pain and stress. I made a lot of mistakes as far as trusting others with my goals. Through that, I looked back at my life, and the only thing I could see was lessons learned. So I took on the name Lessonz. Later on, I put More reference to it. And became LZ, which means, coming in blazing hot.
