In 2001 Wajeed looked at hiphop at its ‘blingbling’ prime and decided it was about time the bling would come from within again. Thus, he formed the Bling 47 family, a label combining the powers of the true hiphop talent in Wajeeds environment (Waajeed chose 4 and 7 because they are the numbers for power and spirituality in numerology). The rest is history and now Wajeed and his family are touring the world as disciples of the traditional hiphop spirit with the sound of now.
