Profession
While in high school, Zinoleesky was actively creating music. He was known for shocking his classmates with his freestyle rap songs. In addition, he often performed at school events and participated in various talent shows in Lagos.
After graduating from high school, he decided to pursue a career in music. He began recording songs he had written at home at a recording studio in his community. Soon, he became a popular figure in the Agege music community and was often invited to perform at events held in the city.
To promote his career, Zinorisky began recording and posting freestyle rap videos on social media. In most cases, he would rap over the backing tracks of popular songs or cover singles that were popular in the country. Gradually, he was able to attract an audience on social media, as many fans of Afrobeats and Streep’s pop music appreciated his work.
With time, Zinoleesky became a force to be reckoned with in the underground rap community as most of his rap videos went viral on the social media app Instagram and garnered a lot of attention. The young Agege artist has built a huge fan base in a short span of time.
Fate finally favored Zinoriski, and he began to receive invitations to collaborate with well-known artists. In 2019, David’s DMW Records offered him a record contract. But he rejected the contract and chose to be an independent artist for the time being.
He reached the top of the music industry after signing a record deal with Marlian Music, founded by rapper Naira Marley. At Marlian Fest in December 2019, Naira Marley announced to his fans that he was launching his own record label. He revealed that Zinoleesky and three other artistes – Mohbad, C Blvck and Fabian Blu – had signed with the music label.
Since joining the Marlian Music family, he has created different success stories in the industry. He has collaborated with both established and emerging artistes to release hit Afrobeats songs. He raps in English, Pidgin English and Yoruba.
Zinoleesky rose to fame in the street pop music scene with his commercially successful EP Chrome. The Extended Play is a 6-track album of party jams by: Kilofeshe, Angeli, Wo Wa Mi, Ma Pariwo, Ni Tori E and Bullet.
He appeared as a featured artist on Lil Kesh’s single “Don’t Call Me”, which was released in December 2021. The single has topped several music charts since its release.
In 2022, he released the hit singles “Rocking” and “Gone Far”. The music video for “Rocking” was shot and directed by Ahmed Mosh. The video was released on February 18, 2022.
Soon after, Lil Frosh, a young and talented rapper known for his street slang Firi Yoyo, invaded, as did Zinoleesky, who happens to be a close friend of Lil Frosh. They freestyled several times on Instagram to showcase their talents.
The industry didn’t think highly of him, as the artist, who was then managed by Spiritual Beatz, was loved for his ability to incorporate meaningful lyrics into any instrument and play it smoothly. Although Zinoleesky did not give up his freestyle series, Kizz Daniel also began to pay attention to him after he covered songs such as Kizz Daniel Fvck You, which showed that Vado also liked the prodigy Zinoleesky.
Zinoleesky noticed this and his talent and hard work improved and he performed even better. He once said that Kizz Daniel and Lil Frosh are his main motivations in the industry and they are the reason behind his hard work and not giving up.

While the rumors are still fresh, the couple is very happy and satisfied with the progress they have made with the weapon of music.
Two talented music artists, Lil Frosh and Zinoleesky, have been signed to a contract worth 1 million naira by a record label. We learnt that Lil Frosh accepted the contract and signed it immediately, after which Davido and Aloma announced on their Instagram page that he is their newly signed artist.
We also received details detailing that Zinoleesky was not happy with the AMW and DMW deals, so he turned down the record label deals, which came as a surprise. Most of his fans were not happy with his decision, but still respected it and concluded that there must have been a reason why the deal was rejected.
Zinoreski did not let his emotions get to him, he kept working hard, ignoring unnecessary energy and performing well.
Marlian Music Record Deal
Months after rejecting the applications from AMW and DMW, good news came for Zinoleesky and his music lovers. He signed with Nigerian pop singer Naira Marley to Marlian Records along with Cblvck, Mohbad and Fabian Blu. On December 31, 2019, the news that Naira Marley signed Zinoleesky to Marlian Records came out, which was great news for Zinodicts as they had been going through a heartbreak recently.
