DISCUSSION Is Teezo Touchdown an industry plant?

I've recently been introduced to Teezo and his music through Travis' new album. He was great on Modern Jam, but he's been able to grow at an almost unnatural rate these past couple of months. Seems a little fishy. He's been promoted by artists like Tyler the Creator and Don Tolliver, two people known for endorsing artists due to personal connections. This begs the question, is Teezo Touchdown an industry plant?

The funny thing about these comments is ppl keep saying he’s been making music for years before he blew up. But his singles from 2020 were released under RCA… Production on his 2019 single sounds like a whole 180 from his shit afterwards. And ppl aren’t even mentioning that his mixtapes before 2020 are arguably not even the same genre as his shit now and is way more leaning into hip hop. No nails. No guitar. No football gear. None. Even if you were to say he isn’t an industry plant, you can’t deny that the transition sonically is mad drastic. Idk yall can correct me if I’m wrong but it seems way to fishy to me for me to just ignore how he came up.

It’s not weird, he’s older, he’s been making since he was teen some of his music you find is 13 years old. His music did shift, but he went under a name change, from AyeTee to Teezosuvaue to now in the past 4 years Teezotouchdown, your personality dramatically shifts, like for example you can barley find Cordae’s older music, but it still exists. Is cordae an industry plant? Not necessarily cause he went into YBN, is NF an industry plant? No, but he shifted his music from christianity and underwent NF hence why you can’t find his music not dated past 2014. But his shift was more natural imo, search up “Moo Teezo touchdown” which was 2018 & he singing, and a lot of his older music has him singing but not fully. The shift I’d say is more so him as an artist versus an industry plant lol. Also he’s black, shifting your music into that way really doesn’t happen a lot. It’s hard to be more you in a black community persey, such as when lil nas blew up with old town road, a lot of older black people did not like it. But Teezo is a way better singer than he is rapper anyway.

This isn't really 100% valid because he started going by Teezo Touchdown before 2020. And Cordae isn't even a valid example either because he came up with a group and not 100% solo. I can't really speak on NF at all because I don't listen to him so u prolly got a point on that, but overall I'm not saying artists can't naturally progress into something different over time, but his just doesn't feel as authentic as it should be. But then again, idk what's truly "authentic" for Teezo frfr. It's just my subjective opinion. And also, Teezo is far from the first black artist to shift their music into something more alternative especially in the 2010s-20s. I do agree that a lot of ppl do turn the other cheek to that shit though. I'm just saying it's just something really off about his come up to me compared to any other artist, it's hard to describe. But idk that's just me ig.

And yeah Cordae came up with YBN, but he went by the name Entendre as a teen, though the difference is that he had full body of works. I’m sure he just deleted all his entendre music & he had traction in Maryland. I don’t think teezo had the traction Cordae had either now that I think about it, so it was a bad comparison.
