Zelooperz Shares Single “Masons Dispatch” + New Album On Deck. – New rap video form Zelooperz


Zelooperz shares new single, “Masons Dispatch,” featuring the Detroit rapper’s reflections on his unrelenting pursuit of money, love and loyalty over Black Noi$e’s looping production. The track arrives on the heels of his last single “Beautician,” which arrived alongside the announcement of Pin Breakers, an album nearly a decade in the making, arriving November 13 via Earl Sweatshirt’s Tan Cressida imprint. Produced entirely by Black Noi$e, the project features a sole guest appearance from fellow Detroit native and Bruiser Brigade co-founder Danny Brown.

 

The origins of Pin Breakers stretch back to 2017, when Zelooperz and Black Noi$e were living together, which led to the pair recording almost daily in their home studio. What emerged from those sessions was an album rooted in years of friendship and a shared musical language. Completed in 2019, the record spent years sitting dormant on a discarded hard drive before Black Noi$e rediscovered it, giving the collaborators an opportunity to finally bring the music to a wider audience.

Across Pin Breakers, Zelooperz revisits formative experiences spanning childhood, adolescence and adulthood, with stories reaching as far back as his early teenage years that fuel his irreverent, unpredictable lyricism that has made him one of Detroit’s most singular voices. Black Noi$e provides the musical foundation throughout, bringing the inventive production sensibility that has made him a sought-after collaborator for artists including Earl Sweatshirt, Armand Hammer, Danny Brown, LUCKI, Pink Siifu, Paris Texas, and Lexa Gates.

During a bowling trip in Glendale, Zelooperz threw a ball with enough force to dislocate his shoulder, an injury that would affect him for six months. The incident became the inspiration for Pin Breakers, a title that plays on both the physical act of breaking pins and the freedom of breaking the pen –– allowing ideas to flow without restriction. The album also marks Zelooperz’s first release on Tan Cressida, following his time on the road with Earl Sweatshirt for the Live Laugh Love tour in 2025.
