Mazi VS has been infatuated with glitz and glam since he was a child. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, the bettor turned rapper spent lots of time dissecting and mastering the skill of betting. He does not leave his bets up to chance, but rather makes extremely calculated and conscious decisions every morning on the day’s events. Years and years of successful betting has given Mazi VS the reputation of SBK, or the Sports Betting King, and he is now sought after for betting advice on the daily. His legacy was only cemented when he placed a $500,000 bet on the Saints onslaught of Tampa bay that netted him a comfortable $775,000 return.
Mazi shared that he initially started considering pursuing a career in music from his time spent in Las Vegas “just hanging around rappers and being in the studio all the time.” While the content of his focuses on living his best life, the songs seem to basically write themselves based on the luxury lifestyle Mazi VS has built for himself. In June of 2020, the Las Vegas-based rapper released his first EP, 'For the Hell of It'. The project is full of hard-hitting verses where Mazi VS flexes his lifestyle and bank account. This year he hopes to start his own record company where he signs upcoming and undiscovered artists putting their own pain to paper.
