Zeddy Will isn’t your typical breakout rapper — he’s part of a new wave of artists turning digital momentum into real-world impact. Raised in the legendary Queensbridge projects of New York City, Zeddy’s story is rooted in culture, creativity, and an undeniable presence that first caught fire online before evolving into a serious music career.
Early on, Zeddy built a massive following through viral comedy and POV skits, but instead of letting the moment box him in, he used that spotlight as a launchpad. Songs like “Cha Cha” helped establish his sound — energetic, confident, and built for movement — proving he wasn’t just internet famous, but musically intentional.
That evolution was front and center during his appearance on 97.9 The Beat’s Toxik Boyz Radio with Hollywood Zay and Papa Ron, where Zeddy Will spoke openly about the work behind his viral moments.
During the conversation, he was visibly surprised by how much we already knew about his journey, a moment that set the tone for a deeper, more intentional discussion. Zeddy emphasized that while social media helped introduce him to the world, his real focus has always been on building something lasting through music. The interview underscored his commitment to authenticity, reinforcing the idea that the grind doesn’t stop once the algorithm hits — it actually starts there.
That mindset carries directly into his newest single, “Strut.” The high-energy record has quickly taken on a life of its own, becoming a soundtrack for confidence and self-expression. Built for bold walks, big energy, and unapologetic attitude, “Strut” has sparked viral moments across social platforms while reinforcing Zeddy’s brand of fun-forward, feel-good hip-hop. It’s a song that doesn’t just play;it moves.
“Strut” really took off on TikTok by tapping into the platform’s love for confidence-driven, movement-based trends, quickly becoming a go-to sound for walk-ins, dance clips, and bold personality posts.
The song has been used in hundreds of thousands of user-generated videos, with creators leaning into its upbeat energy as the soundtrack for self-expression and glow-up moments, keeping it in heavy rotation on For You pages. That momentum didn’t stay on TikTok — the viral buzz carried over to streaming, landing the record on Spotify’s Viral charts and My Trending Ten Mix, and introducing Zeddy Will to audiences well beyond his original social following. In short, TikTok may have sparked the moment, but his run at radio helped turn “Strut” into a cultural movement rooted in confidence, motion, and visibility.
