The young rap star, who has excelled even as a songwriter and producer, aims to take over the rap scene worldwide.

Isn't it amazing to read more about all those individuals and professionals who always choose to stand their ground and go against the tides to stay distinctive in all that they ever choose to lay their hands on? Well, the world has witnessed the rise of too many such talented beings across industries, but a few rare gems have ensured to turn more heads around and, most notably, through their self-made success stories, infuse more hope, positivity and inspiration in other budding talents and up-and-comers. This is exactly what ZZ did in music as a youngster, making it happen in the rap scene.

The "Made in India" music artist and rapper, who hailed from New Delhi, moved to Los Angeles in 2020 to create his name in the hip-hop scene, and that's what he has been doing since, even amidst the massive saturation and competition that has always existed in the industry and especially in this genre. He got the opportunity to collaborate with top artists in the industry, and that also helped him gain more glory and a name. In 2018, he had made his debut with the song "ICY," and since then has offered uniqueness in songwriting, producing and performing as an artist.

Today, ZZ has amassed over 20 million streams across all major platforms of the world, has more than 800,000 all-time listeners on Spotify, and over 800,000 views on YouTube. His albums have gone ahead in charting in the Top 10 on Apple Music India. In July 2022, during his album GHOST release party, the nightclub with 500+ fans was sold out on a Tuesday night in New Delhi, India. His fans from Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, and other cities around India flew in to see ZZ at Bohca, a popular nightclub.

Each of his songs on streaming platforms has helped him prove his mettle, and he is well on his way to becoming the next big thing in the rap world. ZZ has been supported and covered by Rolling Stone multiple times, Ones to Watch, Daily Chiefers (Interview), Lyrical Lemonade (multiple times), Earmilk, Elevator Magazine, Homegrown, Unclear Mag, and many more and most of his albums have remained top chartbusters on top streaming platforms.
