Walter Moszel Williams (born June 18, 1993), known as Zelooperz (stylized as ZelooperZ),[2] is an American rapper and painter.[3] He is a member of Detroit-based hip hop group Bruiser Brigade and is signed to their record label Bruiser Brigade Records.[4]

Painting

[edit]

Alongside his career as a rapper, Williams is a painter. He has described his painting style as being influenced by Francis Bacon and Hajime Sorayama.[5] Several of Williams’ album covers are painted by Williams himself, such as the cover of Van Gogh’s Left Ear, which is a self-portrait.  

Williams has sold paintings under his stage name Zelooperz as well as the moniker Moszel Offline (not to be confused with the 2020 album of the same name).[6]
