Introducing a talented artist known as HZU he is an up-and-coming LA-based Korean American artist by way of the planet Asia. Combining the lyricism of a poet, the flow of a coursing river, and various cultural symbols and literary techniques, HZU imbues the everyday and mundane with meaning, exploring what it means to be the US in a universe in which it becomes increasingly clear that we are not the only ones like the US. With an extensive upbringing in poetry and creative writing, HZU naturally transitioned into music, employing the power of songwriting to weave stories that express feelings of simultaneous alienation and belonging as a second-generation from an immigrant family living in one of the most multicultural cities in the world, Los Angeles. The versatility of his vocal range is the hallmark of his style, as he seamlessly blends creative, hard-hitting rap bars with smooth, silky choruses which create songs that are meaningful and reflective, yet undeniably catchy. His production consists primarily of chill, upbeat, and fast-tempo instrumentation, but with his roots in old-school boom-bap flows, he also shines on traditional rap as well as contemporary trap beats. He takes inspiration from such artists as OutKast, 2Pac, MF DOOM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino, Isaiah Rashad, Mac Miller, and Anderson.Paak. With the release of his newest single “Peel”, he projects a fascinating sound that will definitely captivate your ears.
