Artist Information

Biography

Half Deezy (Ian Vandiver) was born in 1985 on Camp Pendleton Naval Base. He started rapping at age 13, showcasing his talent for peers in school during lunch time freestyle sessions. Freestyling quickly led to full on local battles where he made a name for himself, produced his own CDs and built a solid rep doing showcases in California. Deezy enlisted in the Army in 2005 to support his new baby and wife, but continued to write and perform where and when he could. After a year deployment in Iraq, he is currently stationed in Europe as the S1 NCOIC for 21st TSC-I (Transportation). He wrote and recorded the now infamous first reply “Real Vs. Bitch” to Soulja Boy’s song disrespecting the troops and has well over 500,000 views on you tube from four different videos that have cropped up. Half Deezy is currently working on a full length album so keep your ears open for more great raps from this talented member of the US military!

  I think this is one of the best responses I have heard to Soulja Boy’s “Lets Be Real.”

SGT Ian Vandiver took it upon himself to make a diss track which I happen to love. Soulja Boy swears he’s a soldier but as SGT Vandiver were the ones train to kill.

  Many fans of the U.S. Army are angry with the young rapper and have retaliated with a few disses of their own.
  
  Some of the names are SGT Ian Vandiver, SGT Dunson, and Stephen Hobbs.
  
  
  I might even have to make a dis on soulja boy myself. Lol.
  
  All in all, I am not sure if this is a publicity stunt for the young artist, or the fact that he messed up in his song. Being an underground rapper myself, I don't think it's easy to mess up in your song, that you wrote.
  
  Soulja Boy You need to get your lyrics together. He says he gunna have the most songs. In my opinion it's going to be the most songs of junk.

  How did the project come into existence? = When I was younger they used to call me Half Dead. I was also the skinniest one out of the group so when they decided to give me a nick name and they called me half dead. All I used to do is skip school and rap with my friends. Little did I know it was going to be something I wanted to pursue later on in life I decided to use it. After a while a band took the time and money to Trade mark the name and I had to change it to Half Deezy.......
