Pz’, born Payusu Njie, has signed with THE\u00b7TEAM for worldwide live music and touring representation, with Lauren Marker and Max Braun leading the deal. This is his first formal booking-agency relationship; his catalog has been built independently through his Atlanta collective, \u00d8Way, rather than a traditional rollout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pz’ made his name in fashion first, joining Wilhelmina Models’ competitive Development board in 2023 before walking Mowalola’s Spring\/Summer 2025 show at London Fashion Week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music followed on its own terms: In January 2026, \u00d8Way’s eight-minute cypher went viral across the underground, earning coverage from The FADER and a “#FREEPZ” shoutout from Playboi Carti’s YVL camp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His catalog since (“Swagger Jackin’,” “Havana,” “Hedi’s Bussin'”) blends high-fashion references with Atlanta’s bass-heavy underground sound, and he features on “Head \u00d8ver Heels” from Tezzus and diamond*’s<\/a> 2026 album UY SCUTI B\u00d8YZ<\/em>. On stage, he played at LA’s Echoplex in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move extends THE\u00b7TEAM’s push into rap’s DIY scene, where the agency already reps bunii and fakemink under the same two agents, alongside a broader 2026 hip-hop build-out that recently brought Scarface<\/a> and Tobe Nwigwe<\/a> into the fold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one’s different from THE\u00b7TEAM’s other 2026 hip-hop signings. Scarface and Tobe Nwigwe were established names getting bigger infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pz’ has zero chart history and no prior touring representation, just a raw, weeks-old debut album, a viral moment three months old, and an aesthetic that’s already crossing from SoundCloud into fashion editorials. Signing him this early is a bet on trajectory, not a track record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is THE\u00b7TEAM building a dedicated underground-rap desk, given bunii, fakemink, and now Pz’ all sit with the same two agents? Does his Wilhelmina and Mowalola background make him a candidate for brand and sync deals beyond touring?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
