Croydon, London-based emcee BZ drops the visual to his new track TRUST ISSUES, produced by fellow South London-based Eyes Adoasi
South London rising rapper BZ returns with his summer single, ‘Trust Issues’ produced by Eyes Adoasi (Headie One, Odeal, and Not3s) BZ’s clear-as-day cadence and delivery dives into the universal feeling of trust issues that can run through relationships, friendships, life, work and everything in between. Bringing golden era energy with the nostalgic, soulful production, the female adlibs throughout add to the song’s elegance. On his new release, BZ delivers on the visuals as always, with the video directed by Delenn Vaughan set in a 1980s Black British cafe, with BZ’s character becoming infatuated with the lady behind the counter. The video is packed with vibrancy and cultural references and explores themes of love, perseverance, and the power of community.
Camberwell born, and Croydon raised, BZ’s earliest music memories are from growing up in Church surrounded by Gospel music. He started expressing himself through spoken word poetry from a young age, leading to him freestyling at school at any opportunity. It wasn’t until a close friend offered to pay for a studio session that BZ’s whole world changed, and from then on, everything became about music. Still, early on in his journey, he faced impactful highs and lows, driving him to almost quit music for good. BZ cites a career-affirming show overseas that reminded him exactly why he is destined to be a musician, and he hasn’t looked back since. BZ’s sound is a blend of his Ghanaian heritage that always shines through sonically paired with the inner-city London flare we hear in his flow.
BZ set the bar high in 2022 with his single ‘2 G’s’, which featured on Top Boy, and his two Mixtape Madness x Next Up freestyles which have been widely acclaimed. He has started 2023 on a high with his single ‘Get Paid, having been supported by numerous tastemakers, including DJ Target, DJ Semtex, and Sian Anderson. BZ has become known as an artist on many levels, including his music, visuals, and style, which was recently celebrated in a JD Sports x Doc Marten campaign earlier this year. BZ has an unwavering devotion to his craft, lacing his rhymes with his mob boss mentality, remaining consistent and unmatched.
