Z-Ro

A Houston native who endured a difficult childhood, Joseph McVey channeled hardship into deeply soulful, melodic street music.

Affiliated with the Screwed Up Click and Rap-A-Lot, he built a prolific catalog admired for raw emotion and singing-rapping versatility.

He is regarded as one of Houston's most respected and soulful lyricists.

Z-Ro's blend of pain, melody, and grit made him a revered figure in Texas rap.
