9. Z-Money
Backed by high-profile co-signs like Gucci Mane, Young Dolph, and many more South elites. Chicago’s Z-Money is in the early lead for new breakout artists of 2019 with his gritty street style and support. Signed to 1017 Eskimo/Alamo, Z-Money’s claim to fame comes in his latest mixtape, Chiraq Mogul is a more substantial effort, comprised of 16 intense tracks, each marked by Z-Money’s oft-imitated cadences and canny punchlines about the hustle. The new mixtape hosts previously released tracks such as “Bon Appetit,” which features G Herbo and Key Glock and garnered over 3 million views on YouTube, the hazy “Givenchy” (168k views), the haunting and absorbing “Bitcoin” (289k), and the recently released “80 Bands.”
Z-Money is currently promoting his new video, “Durag”, featuring Young Dolph-protege Key Glock. Chicago behind him, Hip-Hop behind him, there’s no way Z-Money can lose.
