More info:
Joseph W. McVey, better known by his stage name Z-Ro, is an American rapper. He has built a reputation as a southern rapper, though this has not developed into widespread popularity outside of the southern United States.[1] The New York Times has called him "one of America's most underrated rappers".[2]
His 2006 album I'm Still Livin' was released while Z-Ro was imprisoned for drug possession, to positive reviews.[1][2] It was called "a great album... powerful" but "relentlessly bleak" by The Village Voice[1] and "one of the best rap albums to come out of Houston" by the Houston Chronicle.[3]
His follow-up album, King Of Tha Ghetto: Power, received mixed reviews however, with one review calling the release "unwieldy" and "scattershot".[2]
Common themes in Z-Ro's music are crime and poverty, often relating to his personal experience. For example, the music video for Hate You was recorded while he was incarcerated in Harris County jail.[3]
