5.8.2019
Critical Praise:
“Z’s appeal is all about swagger, a subtle brand of cocky humor, and a delicate musical touch. Which isn’t to say that it’s an empty exercise in style—although he has style in spades. There’s an unusual quality at the heart of the Z Money project that’s elusive to define, but could be called, simply, ‘art.'” – Complex
“As one of the promising new faces to come out of Chicago, Z Money is ready to go full speed ahead.” – XXL
“Even though the 25-year-old has work from as early as 2014, setbacks such as his legal troubles and incarceration had put his career on hold until now and, if it wasn’t already obvious, Z Money SZN is upon us.” – Lyrical Lemonade
The Announcement:
A prolific hustler with a rock-solid reputation in the streets, Z Money is the missing link connecting Chiraq and the ATL. Today, the 1017 Eskimo signee reveals the cover art and tracklist for his upcoming Shawty Paid project. A deep dive into his hustling history, Shawty Paid features a picture of baby Z, who showed an appreciation for fine threads from an early age.
The mixtape will feature appearances from Z’s mentor and 1017 label boss Gucci Mane, guest spots from his labelmates Hoodrich Pablo Juan and Yung Mal, and a thrilling collaboration with kindred spirit Key Glock. The project boasts a regionally and sonically diverse array of producers, including DY and Southside of 808 Mafia, ChaseTheMoney, Bandplay, and Lil Mexico, who deliver sinister soundscapes for Z to apply his street-savvy bars. The follow-up to 2018’s Chiraq Mogul mixtape, Shawty Paid releases on May 10th via 1017 Eskimo/Alamo.

The Background:
First coming to the forefront during the Chicago rap boom of 2012, Z Money stood out from the pack for his creative cadences, his malleable, high-pitched flow, which drew comparisons to Z Money’s idol Gucci Mane, and his rejection of the conventions of the drill music that dominated the city in that era. Releasing a series of popular mixtapes packed with street witticisms and raw honesty, Z Money gained cult hero status in Chicago for songs like “Regular” and “Want My Money,” which Chance The Rapper used in his original trailer for his 2013 breakout mixtape Acid Rap. In 2014, Z Money’s meteoric rise came to an abrupt halt when he was forced to spend nearly the whole year in prison for a probation violation. After his release, Z Money rededicated himself to his craft, moving away from his Chicago-based problems and temptations to the rap mecca of Atlanta. In ATL, Z Money caught the ear of a recently free Gucci Mane, who signed him to his fledgling 1017 Eskimo label. Since the signing, Z Money gotten his career back on the road to stardom with ZTM and Chiraq Mogul.
