22Gz, whose real name is Jeffrey Alexander, is a prominent figure in the Brooklyn drill music scene, a sub-genre of hip-hop known for its dark, gritty beats and aggressive lyricism. Born on November 29, 1997, in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, New York, 22Gz gained recognition for his unique flow and authentic storytelling, encapsulating the raw energy of his environment. He first rose to fame with his breakout hit "Suburban," released in 2016, which quickly became a drill anthem and solidified his place in the burgeoning Brooklyn drill movement.

As a signed artist to Kodak Black's Sniper Gang label, 22Gz has cultivated a dedicated following through a series of powerful releases that showcase his lyrical prowess and street-smart narratives. His discography includes notable tracks like "Twirlanta," "Spin," and "Sniper Gang Freestyle Pt. 2," alongside collaborative works such as "Max Out" with Shawny Binladen and "Why Would I Lack?" with SPMB Bills. His project "The Blixky Tape 2 (Deluxe)" further captures the essence of his artistry, adding to his growing reputation as one of the most compelling voices in New York's drill music scene. With songs like "Up N Stuck" featuring Kodak Black and "Omerta" with CoachDaGhost, 22Gz has not only chronicled the trials and tribulations of street life but has also shined a light on the broader narratives and experiences that shape his community.
