History
Born as Thearthur Readie Washington IV in Winchester,[1] Clark County, Kentucky on November 3, 1978,[2] to mother Tenecia Jackson[2] and to father Thearthur Readie Washington III.
At the time his debut album was released in 2007, Theory Hazit had relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio.[4] This album, entitled Extra Credit, was released on July 17, 2007 in the United States by Groove Attack Productions.[4] It featured production from Tony Stone and Re:Flex the Architect.[5] A review of Extra Credit written in Relevant compared Theory Hazit to Kanye West and Common as both a producer and an MC.[6] Another review of this album, written by Omar Mouallem for Exclaim!, praised the album's song "I Just Wanna Come Home" for having "lyrics as contagious as its soulful hook."[7] The album was also ranked as the 59th best hip hop album of 2007 by Quentin Huff in PopMatters.[8]
Since then, he has released several additional albums, including Thr3e in 2012.[9][10] He has also released another album entitled "Fall of the Light Bearer".[11]
