Dog Boy (stylized in all caps) is the debut studio album by American Long Island-based trap metal artist ZillaKami. It was released on September 17, 2021, via Republic Records. Production was handled by 6 record producers, including Thraxx, Yung Germ, Beatzvader, Shoki, Eleusis, and CRCL. It features guest appearances from Denzel Curry, Lil Uzi Vert, and Slipknot lead vocalist Corey Taylor.[1] [2]
The album was promoted by four singles: "Chains",[3] "Badass" (with Lil Uzi Vert),[4] "Frosty",[5] [6] and "Not Worth It".[7] The album's promotion included several music videos for each of the singles (with the exception of "Badass", the album's second single).
The album is described by AllMusic as half hip hop and half hardcore hip hop,[8] and by Rap Reviews as rap metal.[9] Our Generation Music said the album includes "metal-infused" rap rock as well as gentler, "more emotive" tracks.[10] Hot New Hip Hop described the album as rap rock that moves "into heavy metal territory."[11]
