Artist to Watch Out For: Tez4Real

Over the course of my blog, I plan to highlight Hip Hop and R&B artists to watch out for in Arkansas and surrounding areas. This week’s artist to watch out for is Tez4Real.

Tez4Real, was born in Los Angeles, California but moved to Central Arkansas 4 years ago. He says, “I like to say I’m a mix of the West Coast and the Natural State.’’

Tez likes to describe his music as experimental and very West Coast influenced. He adds his current musical influences are Roddy Ricch, Kendrick Lamar and NoCap. However, the overall type of music he makes reflects on how he’s feeling at the time.

Recently, Tez4Real dropped a new single titled, “My Dawgs”, following the release of his first single “Pretend” so I asked what the creative process was like for the single. “ I was just in the studio and in the zone so I went in and knocked it out in about an hour.” said Tez.

I also asked if we could expect a music video for the new single. Tez said he is more focused on putting out as many singles as possible and letting his listeners choose which single(s) are music video worthy.

Tez stated that next he is working on putting out more and more content across his social media accounts as well as consistent single releases.

“I’m trying to flood the market in 2021!”
