Adam Botsford, better known by his stage name Botzy, is a rapper based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1] He is a former member of Culture Cry Wolf.[2]

Career

Botzy's work on The Best Love Is Free event and compilation CD has had a significant impact on the Minneapolis music scene, and is entering its fifth year of increasing turns outs.[3][4]

His video for "Couldn't Breathe (feat. Lizzo)" was premiered on URB, and was labeled a "throwback kind of affair".[5] His album Buck Fotzy was distributed by Fake Four Inc. on July 9, 2013.[6]

Botzy quickly followed up "Buck Fotzy" with a 6 track EP titled "Past Tense", as a gift to his fans for their recent support. [7]

In 2014, Botzy is set to release a collaborative EP with MunQs under the group name "VAYNS", as well as solo EP produced by 2% Muck. He is also gracefully working towards a full length album featuring production by Wesley Opus and Cecil Otter. [8]
