Eziah Chris Thomas Lang AKA (VOTU) KingEz is a African American Underground Artist who started writing music in 2020 at 15 years old, born in Downtown Salt Lake City, on June 4th 2005. raised in Price City, Utah also known as “P-TOWN”. He was the Co-creator of a collective called VOTU (Vengeance Of The Unholy) but took it over as his own in 2022. Ez explores all different types of genres such as Rock, Rap, Hip-Hop, Singing and “Trap Metal”.

Trap Metal was originally inspired by XXXTENTACION, Scarlxrd and Lil Darkiel. Eziah says.. “if it wasn’t for these unique artists helping me bring out my anger when I was too afraid to do it, I don’t know who I would be or where I would stand right now.”

VOTUKINGEZ has loads of different inspirations, not only leaning to hip-hop. KingEz has been inspired by all sorts of artists, new or old. (those top being XXXTENTACION, Ski Mask The Slump God, Tyler The Creator, Mac Miller and JID, he’s found some more older Hip-Hop artists on his own like The Wu-Tang Clan, ft Ol Dirty Bastard who Ez gets his Old School Boom Bap style from).

The family has of course introduced the young artist to Old school Hip-hop legends like 2pac, Biggie and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

He gives his single mom a ton of credit for raising him and his music taste so far for his Rock N Roll taste such as Nirvana, Linkin Park and Gorillaz, even going as far back to Marilyn Manson and Aerosmith.

His name “King Ez” is a name that comes from the thought of creating your own world and your own thought of art and creativity, KingEz has his little slogan “king of your own world”, meaning anyone can be the king of their own world creating any type of art imaginable such as video, acting, music, editing etc.

Eziah had started making music during March of 2020 when the Coronavirus (COVID-19) first struck the U.S. (ft local artist Lil Dough and NOVACXNE “33NOVA”).

Starting earlier back in 2017 messing around as kids on YouTube as the name “Steamfire V” making YouTube videos of gaming, reacting and DIY, Ez starting seeking interest in music when he first seen the XXL 2016 & 2017 Freshman Cypher Freestyle ft artist like Denzel Curry, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, XXXTENTACION, ETC.

Starting music around December 2017 on RapChat. He soon came up with the name KingEz With his cousin Kade Dimick AKA EyezB4. -VOTU wasn’t even in the making yet. 2020*

Reaching to October 5th 2020. The birth of VOTU. (vengeance of the unholy) was originally created by Camden Escalante AKA 33NOVA. Involving 2 Co-Creators (at the time) VOTUKINGEZ & Jaxson Hurtado AKA (JHP) the videographer, photographer and editor of VOTU.

KINGEZ focused more on making the group bigger with artists of any sort. Photographers, Producers, Artists etc. 33NOVA soon left VOTU in 2022 leaving the collective to KingEz who claims to be the one who created the logo, flyers, The first VOTU concert and the NEW VOTU MERCHANDISE, COMING SOON. 2023

The collective has kicked off to a great start with new joining members, KillaKon, 333lilsmoke, AnDevlic, antnevalack, XXGODXX, Thyeosthyco, Roya, Chri$ and Lil Dough. Starting off a few singles with the artist and a short unfinished VOTU Album out now on SoundCloud.

*VILECG came to a decision to work on his art alone, but VOTUKINGEZ considers him as a VOTU brother no matter what.

VOTUKINGEZ continues his career by being apart of shows such as Slump Fest hosted by Shotbyko with other Utah artist like VileCG, Leland Cottle, Doctah Dos w/ QULTRAINE & O$$O47 and a lot more amazing talent artists at The Boardwalk in Orem Utah on September of 2022.

Shining light on his name in his hometown of course it’s in a negative way, attending school at Carbon High School in Carbon County, people in such a small town are having pretty huge doubts on a child’s dream. Getting involved into altercations with his teachers and eventually dropping out of the school to focus on music telling teachers

“I could care less about the diploma. It's a piece of paper, like bruh, who am I kidding! It's not even for me. It's only for my family so they can have a positive perspective about me. But it's not one of my goals, nothing near music and acting and all that.”

One pretty popular altercation that was filmed by the artist and posted on his TikTok @VOTUKINGEZ, was about his History Teacher Taylor Brower who had used VOTUKINGEZ’s name and music as a cheap class example saying “Stay attended to my class, or else you can try making music like the other dropouts”.

When KingEz confronted the Social Studies teacher about what he had said about him, he proceeded to say he had never used his name in his class lessons.

Ez then cuts him off to tell him exactly word for word what he had said about him.

The teacher began to get frustrated and switch up using excuses to something like “it was a year ago” and “you still HAVE to graduate high school”.

The teacher insists to let the situation die but KingEz claims this was the 4th time the SAME TEACHER had used not only him but Lil dough as 2 dropout examples.

One of those times the teacher decided to watch VOTUKINGEZ’s Music Video “Rusty .Cage. PROD. MAYHEM” in front of a classroom full of kids, in that video KingEz appears to have his shirt off with his body covered in blood.. KingEz says it was “extremely inappropriate” for the teacher to be looking at the video to begin with.

VOTUKINGEZ was kicked out of the class and sent to the office but the artist was fed up with the school and the district already, so Ez just looked at the principal and said “your school is bullshit, I’m done” then left.

The next day KingEz walked into the school with a notebook filled with millionaires who never had to graduate high school for anything.

He threw the notebook on Taylor Brower’s desk in front of his first class and said “make sure to use these REAL artists as an excuse, cause I’m not there yet.. share it with the class!”

One week later. KingEz promised his hometown with a Diss Track “84501.” calling out Carbon High School “Carbon Dinos”, all the teachers and the mullet permed bullies who always picked on him for his curly hair and dark skin, But ironically years later those same kids began to take the style they criticized for years like nothing happened.

The song was released and hit #1 of all VOTUKINGEZ's Music Platforms.

Involving the blue school mascot dinosaur logo turning it into a red killer dinosaur to take the heads of everyone in the way.

KingEz has switched out of Carbon High School dropping out to work harder than before on his music to spread the message that anything is possible as long as you’re in your own world..

KingEz plans to carry his career out to the fullest regardless of what happens to him or his ideas for the future. He says he will still carry out everything he has to take care of the next generation.
