Biography
Blac Haze, born Ted Outler was raised on the streets of Miami. His family life as a “shorty” was good. He gained much of his musical inspiration from his father, who was a musician. Little is known about the rapper because of the lack of publicity. As most rappers start off, he rapped everywhere he went in hopes of being heard by the right person. He began recording for different labels, had his first single and semi-hit record, “Let Me Holla At Cha” with Live Shot Records, a small record company. The record became a local hit. Like a majority of independent labels, they lacked knowledge of the music business. He felt they were restricting his potential.
The cover of the single Let Me Holla at Cha, shows the tombstone and dark identity of Blac Haze to allude the themes of Tupac from the music video, Hail Mary. Blac Haze is not to be confused with Tupac Shakur, a skit from Blac Haze’s highly acclaimed and received debut album, Res-Sa-Rec-Shun, "Miami Jams", has the Interviewer saying: "Okay, umm, some people say - they listen to your track and single you got coming out, Imma Die Hustla, that you sound a little bit like Tupac. And y'know even what I'm listening to y'know, when I heard it I said this guy sounds like Tupac, to me a little bit, how do you feel about that - give me some insight on that?" then Haze responds: "Well y'know, that's the shared opinion, y'know but uhh, deep inside I feel like I could never y'know, walk in that man's shoes y'know. That man - is a legend y'know I'm saying (Interviewer: Ok) and uhh the things he did, y'know the landmarks that he reached, y'know I'm the eighty rapper, with - no be able to reach them landmarks, y'know guy just legend."
The Mystery behind Miami’s own Blac Haze really has people thinking. His next adventure was with Henry Stone at T.K. Entertainment where he recorded the greatly acclaimed album, “So Much Drama” released in 2002. Within a couple of weeks, T.K. had generated such a big buzz in the streets over the album that it put Blac Haze back in the spotlight of the rap scene. Notably Blac Haze on "So Much Drama" sounds much less similar to Tupac, according to the opinion of some, such as in reviews. He did not release any songs except locally after that, until in August 2012 he released 3 singles: "Bank Role", "Da Realist Nigga", and "Get Dat Money Right" on iTunes under a new alias, Blackhaze. They were not publicized at all apart from on his official Facebook page.
He has made two confirmed music videos but only one, Where-U-At has been shown, and the making of Get Dat Money can be found on YouTube as well. According to Miami locals, Do U Wanna Ride also featured a music video.
