BHM Pezzy has emerged as one of the most promising voices coming out of Atlanta’s independent rap scene, known for his witty punchlines often adding levity and a poignant element to his verses. A true native of the city, Pezzy grew up drawing inspiration from some of the most creative wordsmiths in the game from Atlanta and beyond.
In 2018, he scored a hit as a member of the group BHM with the release of “Bag,” a song that started as a local fan favorite before gaining a national audience. It went on to capture the attention of Roc Nation, which offered the group a short-lived deal through an Atlanta-based indie imprint. As the group slowly drifted apart during the pandemic, Pezzy continued to grind it out. “Astronaut,” the song that would end up changing the trajectory of his career, managed to capture the difficulties he was going through at the time under the guise of a fun, mid-tempo bop. A year after its initial release, “Astronaut” went viral on TikTok. He understood right away that the challenge was now to turn that moment into fans and consumers of his music beyond the viral hit. To achieve that goal, he took it upon himself to learn how best teach streaming and social media platform to better connect with future fans. The success of “Astronaut” was followed by two more viral hits: “Dogg” and “That Yo Body?” With three fan-selected hits on his hands, Pezzy knew he was well on his way.
