thumb Bryshere Yazuan Gray (born November 28, 1993), professionally known by the stage name Yazz the Greatest is an American actor and rapper, best known for his role as Hakeem Lyon in the Fox primetime musical drama television series Empire. Quotes I came from Philly where before ‘Empire’, I was sleeping on the floor next to dog pee, not even having money to eat Now my mom is looking for houses. That’s my life, coming from the bottom and now working, to being on TV every Wednesday, that’s nice. I’m from Philly bro! I got so much to talk about people probably think that I’m from Hollywood. I’m 23 and we doing it. I was YOU watching ME on TV in your mom’s room. If anyone tells you that you can’t do it, you tell them what to kiss, and that you can do anything you put your mind too. I think it would be so great for kids right here in the hood that don’t really have the belief to be a star or anything. Look at me, all the odds were against me. I’m sorry Denzel, but Imma take this right here (he said jokingly) I make smart decisions and keep a solid circle around me. I know everyone is always watching me and I don’t want projects to start becoming my personal projects. You come out with an album and they focused on you getting into an argument, now they worried about your personal life when they should be focused on your work. My fans want to know what my next job is which is fantastic. They don’t want to know who I’m dating next. If I can keep them wanting to know what’s next as far as movies or music, that’s perfect. I’m human, I’m going to make mistakes, but I’m going to make smart mistakes. Chicago has a lot of murders that you’ll never hear about but you’ll hear about the kid that stole Skittles from the corner…the 300 murders that happen a year, you don’t hear about This movie spoke to me in so many ways because it’s honest, heart touching, and inspiring. It’s a tear jerker and realistic. The story is basically not making people stereotype. Just because I’m black, doesn’t mean I like chicken. Just because I’m white, doesn’t mean I like white girls. It’s just non guilty for every part of stereotypes It’s a completely refreshing role. With any role I play, I tap into my personal life. For me with my work, I make it personal. It’s authentic. I gave my real emotion to the scenes and it was what it was. ‘Empire’ Star Bryshere Gray Talks ‘God’s Anointed’, ‘Canal Street’ Film, & Yazz the Greatest Music;By Justin Sarachik on June 20, 2017 External links Category:Rappers from the United States Category:Actors from Philadelphia Category:Living people Category:1993 births Category:African Americans
