AGZ (born July 4, 1990, in Orsett Hospital) is a British rapper whose work spans grime and hip hop. AGZ’s music is known for incorporating personal experiences, often exploring past challenges and future aspirations.
Early Life

In 2010, AGZ released BIG Bone Idol Genius, a hip hop project that marked a shift in his musical style. By 2011, he had changed his stage name to AGZ, releasing Ascension Seeker, which received attention within the UK rap underground scene.
