[ad_1] Hip-hop sometimes feels like an overcrowded market these days, yet Veeze is an artist that fans stay checking for.

Through Veeze’s reputation on the mic and in the streets, he’s already seen by many as a heavyweight in Detroit’s searing rap scene. But embroidered co-signs from Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty and Lil Baby on wax have recently welcomed Veeze into the mainstream airspace as well.
