Hailing from Harlem, King Z3US has established himself as a premiere talent representing the neighborhood thanks to a series of well received EPs, including ‘The Chris Ferg Project,’ and virally massive tracks like “21 Pounds” that boasts over 6 Million plays on YouTube alone. Although a cousin of A$AP Ferg, Z3US is managing to carve his own path in hip-hop with a unique perspective and powerful message.
Last month, Z3US released the first cut of an upcoming EP, ‘Y.B.E,’ titled “What Goes Around” Feat. fellow Harlem artist Makarel. The track sees Z3US return with a keen lyrical flow and markedly introspective songwriting as he provides a window into this upper Manhattan upbringing. Today, Z3US is releasing the next piece of the ‘Y.B.E’ project with new single “Westbrook.” Produced by Beats By Eclipse, “Westbrook” is a bass-heavy anthem that represents the more club-suited side of the project. Composed of Z3US’ catchy hooks, and ad-libs, “Westbrook” is the kind of no-holds-barred production that fans have become accustomed with.
If unfamiliar with King Z3US before now, the rapper’s trajectory began long ago as the offspring of one of Harlem’s most iconic and well-respected families. Starting out making beats, Z3US eventually found his own voice that fully culminated in self-produced hit “21 Pounds.” In addition, Z3US is known for his work with legendary producer !llMind who executive produced his Z3US’ self-titled debut EP in 2016.
