From the heart of Oneida comes an artist who’s been grinding since day one—Curly Z, a self-made rapper channeling raw hustle and hip hop passion into every verse. His story isn’t one of overnight fame or manufactured buzz. It’s the story of a kid who grew up with rhythm in his veins and bars in his bones—someone who didn’t wait for an opportunity, but created one.
Inspired by Rabbit from 8 Mile, Curly Z embodies that gritty, underdog spirit—the relentless drive to spit truth through a mic no matter who’s listening. And now? People are starting to listen. With a sound that merges lyrical finesse with street-smart storytelling, Curly Z is putting his city on the map, and he’s doing it his way.
While others chase labels, Curly Z remains proudly independent. He’s not just an artist—he’s a visionary, directing his own music videos, producing his own tracks, and even building his own brand with merch drops, YouTube content, and strategic promotions. His recent collaborations with names like Debo Squeeze, Just Juice, and Idontknowjeffery reflect his growing influence in the underground scene, and there’s no sign of him slowing down.
His latest release, “Different” (dropped on 05/02/25), is a bold anthem about standing out, owning your individuality, and grinding no matter who doubts you. It’s not just a track—it’s a mindset. And with another drop coming on 05/18/25, fans better stay tuned because Curly Z has no plans to coast.
From local gigs with crowds of 50 to dreams of touring with Wiz Khalifa and performing in Arizona, Curly Z is laying bricks for a legacy. In five years? Picture him in Miami, closing business deals by day and rocking mics by night. This isn’t just music—it’s movement.
