ZillaKami

ZillaKami is an American rapper from Bay Shore, New York, known for pioneering the aggressive, distortion-heavy strain of trap metal that fuses rap cadences with hardcore and nu-metal aesthetics. He rose to attention in the late 2010s as one half of the duo City Morgue alongside SosMula, whose chaotic live shows and DIY visual style built a devoted underground following before crossing into wider recognition.

Before City Morgue took off, ZillaKami worked closely with 6ix9ine in the early stages of both their careers, though the collaboration ended in a public falling-out over songwriting credit and royalties. His profile grew further after catching the attention of Denzel Curry, leading to a collaboration that helped introduce his sound to a broader rap audience.

ZillaKami’s music blends screamed and rapped vocals over abrasive, metal-influenced production, drawing on songs like «Space Cowboy», «Hellsing Station», and «FRAILTY». In 2021 he released his debut full-length solo project, DOG BOY, cementing his identity as an artist independent of the City Morgue project while staying rooted in the same aggressive, genre-blurring style.
