Lil' Za

Rapper from Tyler, Texas. Born May 5th, 1994 in Oak Cliff, Texas to mother and singer, Keko (13). He began rapping at a young age like his older brother, Lil' Twist. In 2002 (at age 7) he joined B.O.C. Click alongside his mother. Early in his career he was most known for his 2002 underground hit song with Big Moe and South Paw (5) "Swangin' 23's" as well as his freestyles with the B.O.C. Click, and his solo albums on the independent B.O.C Records label. His rapping career was inspired by Snoop Dogg, Lil' Bow Wow, Lil Wayne, Lil' Romeo, and his older brother Lil' Twist. He left the group after the 2007 album/mixtape Ballin Outta Control was released, to further extend his career, Lil' Za signed a deal with Young Money at age 15, in 2010 worth an estimated $500K for 3 albums. He never fulfilled the agreement. Lil Za still currently tours with his older brother Lil' Twist as a hypeman and has been featured as a guest artist on tracks by artists Gudda Gudda, Mack Maine, and Tyga but nothing officially sent to radio. Both Lil Za and Lil' Twist were known friends of Justin Bieber. Za, Twist and 6 others were living in Bieber’s home but were kicked out by his former girlfriend Selena Gomez due to their bad influence. It was believed the brothers introduced Bieber to marijuana and cocaine, and lead him to cheat on his then girlfriend. Za and Twist had also been seen driving Bieber’s exotic $100,000 plus cars through his neighborhood of Calabasas causing his high class neighbors to protest against him living there. In 2014 police raided Justin Bieber's home and Lil' Za was arrested for possession of cocaine.
