TeeZee Hottrax is a versatile emcee who was born on December 10, 1986 in Columbus, Ohio. Although she is an openly gay artist she creates music that everyone can appreciate. TeeZee has always had a passion for music because it was her way of expressing her inner thoughts and emotions. Her attraction to music derived from listening to great artists such as Michael Jackson, Tupac, Mary J Blige, and Jadakiss. TeeZee began writing songs for both her and her siblings at the early age of twelve. The young artist did well at creating exceptional hooks that were both catchy and meaningful. She was also very skilled at providing listeners with a well descripted storyline. Shortly after her fifteenth birthday TeeZee started attending and participating in a program called Stars. This non profit recording studio gave her the opportunity to create and record her works for free. During her time at Stars she managed to help form a hip hop group called “Click Tight”. This short lived group full of talented adolescents recorded and performed a couple of songs together before deciding to part ways. After departing from the group TeeZee‘s interest for creating music began to decline. She dibbled in dabbled in rap throughout the years but did not take it serious enough to pursuit. It was not until TeeZee reached the age of twenty six when she decided to really pursue music. In fall 2012 TeeZee began networking with other artists, engineers, and producers then created her first single “Coke and Paul”. This R&B track focuses on lust as well as physical attraction and features R&B recording artist Que. The release of this song gained rapid recognition and praise from well known underground artists and fans in TeeZee’s city. She wanted to show people that she was more than just a one hit wonder or another person trying to be a rapper. In April 2013 TeeZee dropped her first mixtape titled “213 Take Over”. This project was more of a collaboration mixtape that was given out for free to gain more expose for her talent. In that same month TeeZee recorded and dropped a single titled “Come Party” an upbeat track that made listeners want to dance and have fun. Her advancements in the local music scene caused other rappers to want to reach out for help with building their own brands. Even though TeeZee was still fairly new to the music scene she took local artists TDS, King Ace, and Lil Looney under her wing becoming their booking manager in September 2013. While exploring her new endeavor TeeZee released a few more party tracks but did not want to be viewed as a club rapper; she wanted to display more lyrical content and meaningful storylines thus leading her to her sophomore mixtape released in October 2013. This mixtape titled “This That Hip Hop” depicted her life experiences, educated listeners, and raised awareness. This That Hip Hop received well over 10,000 views on datpiff.com in only two short weeks. TeeZee noticed the lack of opportunities for LGBT artists and wanted to create an avenue for them to gain more exposure. In December 2013 TeeZee teamed up with Vegas from Fiyah Radio and created a brand called Studs N Hip Hop. This brand would assist LGBT artists with obtaining shows, radio spins, interviews, and more. TeeZee is currently working on her debut album titled “New to the Game Not the Hustle” this album will exhibit more of TeeZee’s versatility. Her goal is to have a positive impact on her listeners and help bring hope to the oppressed.
