Tezzus

AKA: King Phønk, Tezzus Khrist, T'Corrian Walton, Tezzus Phønk Dølla

T’Corrian Walton (born July 3, 2000), also known as Tezzus, is a rising rapper who was born in Southside, Atlanta, but is currently based in New York.

According to Tezzus, he started making music because of his fascination in war and history, unfortunately though, Tezzus was not very bright in school which led to him getting kicked out, from there, Tezzus began making music.

Tezzus began making music exclusively on SoundCloud where he would use the same mic to record his vocals and hold his phone which played the beat close to the mic so the mic could capture the audio, the primary theme in his songs at the time was him just dissing his ex-girlfriend.

In 2020, he would begin to drop his music on all streaming platforms, he would take a break until in early 2024, he got evicted and practically had no money, from there, he would live in his studio and would just make music at it was the only thing he had left, and it worked out in his favor as he began making waves.

According to Tezzus himself:

When shit gets rough, I go harder

Additionally, during this time, Tezzus would link up with the 4ET collective, where he would later began to associate with other underground names such as Rollin Thrax, Southsidesilhouette, Sk8star, Tezzarain, Reezy X and producers Zaan and Kaire Beats. The collective would grow closer to Xavier Anthony. During this time, Tezzus would later push his brand, the Ø Way movement, which he started in middle school, which is another name for PHØNK DOLLA WORLDWIDE. He would revolve everything around this movement.

Moving along the year, Tezzus and his collective would get co-signed by Ian Connor, helping elevate his name in the music industry.

Then, what really solidified Tezzus' name in the underground industry was with the release of his debut project, TEZZUS KHRIST, which had features from hit guys such as billi0n, 10KDunkin, & even tana which really helped put him on the map setting him up for success. He would then follow up with numerous releases, such as SØUFSIDE, with Percaso, KING PHØNK, and TEZZY PEDERGRASS. Then, in late 2025, Tezzus would later grab the attention of Young Thug, and would shortly sign a deal with Thug’s Young Stoner Life Records. Following his signing, Young Thug would bring out Tezzus alongside diamond at ComplexCon 2026 to perform their joint track “Bada Bing, Bada Bøøm”.

Entering 2026, Tezzus would continue to release music and build a name for himself. In February, he would be featured on “Yeannn” and “NSD” off of his album Designer Junkie.

Shortly after, Tezzus would team up with diamond, where the duo would then release their debut studio mixtape under YSL, titled UY SCUTI BØYZ. On May 8, Tezzus would make his debut at Rolling Loud 2026, a month after, on June 8, 2026, he would release his EP, titled THE RESURRECTIØN, an EP that samples Tezzus' favorite artists he looked up to growing up. Six days later, he would make his debut at Summer Smash 2026 with diamond.
