Walter Moszel Williams (born June 18, 1993), known as Zelooperz (stylized as ZelooperZ),[2] is an American rapper.[3] He is a member of Detroit-based hip hop group Bruiser Brigade and is signed to their record label Bruiser Brigade Records.[4]
Career
[edit]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]
