Veeze releases the new music video for “Unreleased Leak.” The track is off of Veeze’s recently released deluxe version of his critically acclaimed debut album Ganger, which came in at #97 on Billboard’s Hot 200 Chart. On “Unreleased Leak,” Veeze leans into his signature sludgy flow and embraces his monumental year in 2023 – “Look me head to toe, everything I got exclusive / I kicked into overdrive, I ain’t tryna lose.”In the accompanying music video, Veeze is spotted kicking it with the upper echelon of Hip-Hop acts like Lil Baby, Future, and 42 Dugg while traveling the United States for his ongoing, sold-out Ganger Tour. As Veeze continues his hot streak stream by elevating his signature animated bar work, the four other songs added to the original Ganger tracklist include “Luv The Tour,” produced by Evilgiane and Harrison of Surf Gang, and “Get Lucki.” After recently being championed by COMPLEX as “The Detroit Rapper Everyone’s Betting On,” Veeze is continuing his momentum and further cementing his breakthrough, MVP-caliber year.
Veeze dropped the highly anticipated Ganger at the end of June this year, which was backed by one of the biggest rap songs of the year in “GOMD” (42M Streams) and its remix with Lil Uzi Vert. Serving as only Veeze’s second full-length release – after 2019’s Navy Wavy, Ganger was highlighted by other standout tracks like the anthemic “Not a Drill” (22M Streams) and “Safe 2” (10M Streams), which has recently been going viral with 14M Views on TikTok and 20K Creates on the app. The album was quickly being met with critical acclaim from the upper echelon of music media like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, and others. As an accumulation of Veeze’s artistic evolution across its original 21 songs with features from Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, LUCKI, Babyface Ray, and Icewear Vezzo, Ganger finds Veeze fully committing to his signature syrupy flows and witty lyricism over an eclectic batch of beats. After kicking off The Ganger Tour in front of a sold-out crowd at The Gramercy Theatre in NY, Veeze has already been joined by Jordan Poole, Jim Jones, Lil Uzi Vert, Wallo, and Michael Rainey Jr. while on the road performing sold-out shows in LA, ATL, Detroit and more. With Anycia and Vayda joining him as openers, Veeze will be wrapping up the tour on 11/21 in his hometown.

“Wake up. Veeze just dropped the year’s best rap album.” – The Washington Post
“Let’s talk about real music –– Veeze, cult-hero, Detroit rapper….one of a big wave of Detroit guys putting out an insane amount of really special, really funny, really original music.” – Jon Caramanica, The New York Times
“[Ganger is] a strong effort by an inimitable, effortlessly entertaining MC who’s mastered his world.” – Rolling Stone
“Veeze is a Swiss Army Knife, able to adapt his scratchy, unrushed delivery to any environment.”– Pitchfork (8.0)
“There’s a lot to enjoy about Ganger, but mainly, it’s the next steps you hope to see from an artist like Veeze — elevation without compromise. Emotional delivery has always been a key part of Veeze’s skill set, but on Ganger, his groggy mutters and raspy voice get twisted up until they’re able to sound lovesick and heartbroken at the same time.” – The FADER (Cover Story: “An All-Star off the bench”)
“Ganger, his second project and official debut album, makes good on his promise as one of the city’s most compelling lyricists and singular voices.” – Audiomack
“Veeze has generated a lot of excitement among those on the cutting edge of rap fandom with his burbling production and slippery way with words.” – Aaron Williams, UPROXX

ABOUT VEEZE:
Veeze, the mysterious Detroit, Michigan rapper has managed to captivate audiences, critics, and peers alike while simultaneously developing a rare devoted cult following. Kicked off by the awe-inspiring 2020 single “Law N Order” (23M+ Streams), a song that reinvented the famed theme song of Law & Order and transformed it into a hard-knocks Detroit anthem that’s defined the city’s fresh sound –– Veeze has emerged as Hip-Hop’s people’s champion, as his career now serves as a blueprint for experimentation and ingenuity across generations and regions. Since first breaking out of the Detroit scene with his 2019 debut mixtape Navy Wavy – Veeze has slowly shown his cards as a staple of the city and beyond with singles like “Rusty” (15M+ Streams), “Kurt Angle” (5M+ Steams), “Choppas In Hawaii” (4M+ Streams), as well as choice features like “Gallery Dept” & “Spending Spree” – both alongside longtime friend and collaborator Babyface Ray. He also served as a key collaborator on Lil Yachty’s Detroit-flavored 2021 album Michigan Boy Boat, lending his talents on “Fight Night Round 3” alongside Babyface Ray and “Don’t Even Bother” with Baby Smoove. Veeze’s homegrown traction first culminated in June of 2022 when he made his debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with his stellar collaboration “U-Digg” alongside his close collaborators and associates Lil Baby & 42 Dugg. Where he diverges from his peers is his desire for anonymity and aversion from the spotlight. Although co-signed by the likes of Drake, Future, James Harden, Lil Baby, and many more – he rarely puts himself on a public pedestal and is intently calculated with his releases, creating a certain mythology behind his artistry. Staunchly championed by the upper-echelon of Hip-Hop media, including everyone from Rolling Stone and Pitchfork to The FADER and Billboard, and tediously mentored by the greats of our era, Veeze has all the markings of a superstar in the making. After years of casually being Hip-Hop’s best-kept secret, 2023 has found Veeze taking his career to the next level with the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album Ganger. In the words of The FADER, “Veeze could be the best rapper in the world if he wanted to” – and now, with the release of one of Hip-Hop’s most popular albums of the year, he finally does.
