Ozonethegod: Alief’s Next Up Bringing the Freeze to the Rap Game
Some artists step into the rap game with a plan, and others move with pure energy and instinct. Ozonethegod, the latest Liq Podcast Open Mic winner, embodies both. Straight out of Alief, Houston, this artist isn’t just making noise—he’s bringing a movement, a sound, and a vibe that’s impossible to ignore. With his latest project Freezyland 2 making waves and a Valentine’s Day single and video on the way, Ozonethegod is on a mission to put his city on the map and solidify his name in the rap game.
Winning The Liq Podcast Open Mic
Taking home the win at The Liq Podcast Open Mic wasn’t something Ozonethegod necessarily planned—but it was a statement.
“I felt good about it. I don’t really do contests, so it feels good to win one,” he admits.
Coming into the competition, he didn’t even know what to expect, saying, “My homie NoTax put me in the door with the podcast. I seen him on it before, so I said why not.” But once he hit the stage, there was no doubt he belonged there. His confidence, cadence, and undeniable presence set him apart. “My deliverance, my cadence, and my confidence—the music is undeniable.”
The response from his city has been nothing but love. “The city is always going to show love. They know I’m out here putting on and paving ways for more Alief artists to showcase their talent.”
From Alief to the World: The Making of a Star
Alief, Houston, isn’t just a place—it’s a mindset. Known as “the Wild West,” it’s home to hustlers, go-getters, and entrepreneurs of every kind. Ozonethegod embraces that energy, using his environment and experiences to shape his music.
“It was rough growing up, but the city is developing and getting better over time. I really use my environment and what I’ve been through to influence my music.”
He started rapping back in 2014, inspired by Chief Keef and Young Chop’s relentless work ethic. “I used to sell fake shoes online and used the money to buy studio equipment after watching Chief Keef and Young Chop consistently drop music at the time. That inspired me, so I got the equipment and taught myself how to record.”
A Sound That’s Different
Every rapper claims to have a unique sound, but Ozonethegod lives it. “My sound is very unique. I set a high standard for myself when it comes to music. I make what I like.”
His influences reflect a mix of energy, melody, and storytelling. “I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, Ludacris, and Jeezy, but my biggest influences were Chief Keef, Young Thug, and Kevin Gates—from the turn-up to the melodies and the storytelling.”
Being from Alief, he understands the responsibility of carrying his city’s name. “I rep Alief wherever I go. I don’t mind putting the city on my back when it comes to moments like this. I’m here for it. I’m a real good performer, so in any room, I can put on a show.”
Creative Process & The Business of Music
For Ozonethegod, music is about the moment. “I go with my current vibe at the time or what’s on my mind—or even feed off some other people’s situations or problems.”
Unlike many artists, he doesn’t write—he flows off the top. “I don’t write. I go off the head every song, but I could write music as well. I perfect my bars as I record.”
When it comes to recording, the setting has to be right. “Sometimes I like to record alone—just me and my engineer. Gotta have some water, can’t have cotton mouth. Gotta have a lil snack and some weed rolled up.”
But beyond the music, branding and marketing are crucial. “Branding and marketing are very important as an independent artist because no one will do it for you. You have to go everywhere and get your music heard. It’s not hard, but it’s not easy either—it’s possible though.”
The biggest lesson he’s learned? “Don’t waste no time. Utilize every moment you can to move forward in your career. No holding music and no hesitating when it comes to investing in yourself.”
What’s Next for Ozonethegod?
With Freezyland 2 out now and his single Tijuana heating up, Ozonethegod is locked in. He’s got a major single and video dropping on Valentine’s Day, and he’s already lining up more shows and music drops throughout the year.
When asked where he sees himself in five years, his answer is simple: “Further with my career. There’s nowhere to go but up from here.”
If he could collaborate with anyone right now, it would be Rylo Rodriguez. “His wordplay is like no other.”
For those wanting to keep up with his journey, he keeps it easy: “Follow me @Ozonethegod everywhere. Subscribe to my YouTube channel—Ozonethegod.”
As for the best way to describe his music?
“IT GET COLDER.”
