Who Is ZeeTheWizard?
For those unfamiliar, ZeeTheWizard made a name for himself in the Dallas hip-hop scene last year after kicking off his career in 2024. For example, his August single "Boss N***a" has amassed over 640,000 views on YouTube, and he signed with Future's Freebandz in November of 2025, according to AllHipHop.
Zee reportedly began his music career after an injury upended his athletic aspirations. In addition to working with fellow Dallas rappers like Zillionaire Doe and Yung Donn, he is also part of the New Dallas collective advocating for unity and peace in their local hip-hop scene.
