Zelooperz on 'Get WeT. Radio,' Danny Brown, Earl Sweatshirt, Alchemist, Painting & More!

#OurGenerationMusic #Zelooperz #OGM From rapping to painting to making lasting friendships with nearly everyone he comes across, Detroit native Zelooperz is an enigma in his own right. Off the back of dropping his new album 'Get WeT. Radio' in March, the Bruiser Brigade member has not only carved his own niche in the culture, but is putting on for Detroit's resurgent rap scene in a huge way. While musically-inclined and inspired by fashion and painting, his undying, creative spark ultimately led him to working alongside Danny Brown and Earl Sweatshirt — styling the latter for his cover shoot with The New York Times this year. Designing most of the covers in his discography — as well as for brands like F**king Awesome — Zee is obviously skilled beyond the booth, using his artwork as a challenge to reinvent himself in all facets. Mirroring that energy in how he approaches his music, he described his creative process as “an ongoing experiment." “I know what I’m good at it and I know what defines my pieces,” relating his paintings to rap. “[I know] who I am as an artist, but I’m still experimenting all the time.” While Zelooperz continues to stun naysayers with his head-turning bars and versatile, left-of-center sound, he caught up with OGM host Hakeem Rowe to talk about his art of all kinds, collaborations new and old, his latest album 'Get WeT. Radio' and so much more in our latest Our Generation Music exclusive. Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE! 🔰 FULL STORY 💻: https://ourgenerationmusic.com/exclus...
