Mozzy

Mozzy, born Timothy Patterson, is a rapper from Sacramento, California, who rose from the Oak Park neighborhood to become one of the most respected voices in West Coast street rap. He began recording as a teenager and built his reputation through a relentless run of mixtapes and albums that documented gang life, loss, and survival in Sacramento with unusual emotional depth and lyrical detail.

Mozzy's sound blends laid-back West Coast production with introspective, often mournful storytelling, setting him apart from more celebratory strains of gangsta rap. Tracks like «Sleep Walkin» and «Bladadah» showcase his ability to turn personal tragedy into vivid narrative, while songs such as «Seasons» and «Free Yatta» reflect his ongoing themes of loyalty, incarceration, and street politics.

Over the years he has collaborated widely, working with artists including YG, Philthy Rich, Gunplay, and E Mozzy, and has released numerous joint projects that cemented his standing within the Bay Area and broader West Coast rap scene. His prolific output and consistent thematic focus have made him a defining figure of 2010s and 2020s Sacramento rap.
