BOTZY

**Botzy**, real name Adam Botsford, is a Minneapolis-based rapper who's been hustling in the local hip-hop scene since landing in the city around 2008. He cut his teeth with the genre-bending live band Culture Cry Wolf and later the collab group VAYNS (with MunQs), while organizing the beloved *Best Love Is Free* showcases that packed houses for years and boosted the Twin Cities vibe.

Dropping gems like his 2013 Fake Four Inc. album *Buck Fotzy*, followed by EPs such as *Past Tense* and full-lengths including *Deaf to the Static* and *Still Not Dead Yet*, Botzy spins raw, reflective tales of struggle, growth, and redemption with a grin and sharp humor. Lately, he's leveled up with cinematic tracks like "Head In The Clouds" (feat. LaRussell), "Good For Me," "Look At You (Affirmations)," and "Hurry Up and Wait," teasing his upcoming album *Sorry, Where Was I?*—all while nodding to his noise-rap roots and collabing with folks like Lizzo, Chuuwee, and Chuck Strangers.
