P.A. Teezy

Pateezy keeps it simple. As if inciting an earthquake in the club, the Miami rapper, singer, DJ, and artist drops the kind of hip-hop that unapologetically causes bodies to move, hands to raise, and asses to shake. The moment you hear him, it’s impossible to sit still. That’s why he has quietly become an underground phenomenon in 2021 after a long journey. Post-high school, the father of two worked a full-time security job in order to support his family in between DJ-ing weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and other occasions. At the same time, he released his own music. He earned a viral smash with “Bennie Biggle Wiggle,” inspiring a popular dance even adopted as an endzone celebration by Super Bowl champ, superstar wide receiver, and fellow Miami native Antonio Brown. Through a series of independent releases, he doubled down and kept grinding even harder. The grind paid off when “Beat It” exploded in 2021. It sent shockwaves through TikTok before gaining traction across streaming platforms. Between independent projects such as DOWN & OUT, DADE COUNTY, and more to come, Pateezy has a ton of heat for listeners everywhere. Racking up hundreds of millions of TikTok views, 2.2 million-plus usages, plugs from the likes of Addison Rae, and 1 million-plus streams in a few months’ time, he’s on his way to rap stardom.
