Career

He released two LPs in 2019, Wild Card and Dyn-o-Mite, and in 2020, he released three: Gremlin, Moszel Offline, and Valley of Life. In 2021, he followed up with the album Van Gogh's Left Ear. [5]

Zelooperz released the album Dali Aint Dead in September 2025. The album features appearances from Zack Fox and Paris Texas. [6]

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. [7] 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). [8]
