Restlezz
Utah-based Mexican rapper Restlezz is redefining what it means to build success from the ground up. Known for his relentless work ethic and authentic voice, he has become a rising force in the underground hip-hop scene—balancing his own musical journey with a dedication to uplifting others. Over the past year, Restlezz has made major strides, from securing a coveted placement on the NBA 2K24 soundtrack with his single “Undisputed,” to collaborating with names like Jake Strain and Maino on the gritty remix of “Nasty,” premiered live on Salt Lake City’s KRCL 90.9 FM.
Beyond the booth, Restlezz has been instrumental behind the scenes through his work with Search Alpha, a digital branding collective helping independent artists strengthen their platforms. Whether connecting creatives to essential tools or spotlighting regional talent, he’s proven that community building is just as important as charting streams.
That grassroots momentum translated to multiple radio features, including a guest spot on 92.5 The Beat’s Rawk the Mic, and a high-energy live performance of “Learn the Game.” On stage, his presence continues to grow—most notably at the Juneteenth celebration at the Ogden Amphitheater, sharing the bill with Lambo4oe.
With over six million streams and counting, Restlezz is no longer just an underground name—he’s a self-made success story in motion. Focused, strategic, and unapologetically driven, Restlezz is proving that real growth comes not from chasing trends, but from staying true to the grind.

His debut album, Kingdom Melodies: Volume 1, is a testament to his mission—seamlessly blending the vibrant rhythms of Afrobeats with the uplifting message of the Gospel.
Tracks like “Call Him Up,” “Pray,” and “My Father” don’t just echo with spiritual conviction—they pulse with energy, movement, and soul. C.J.’s music bridges continents and generations, creating a soundscape that is both reverent and refreshing.
Before embracing Afrogospel, C.J. began his journey in Christian Hip Hop, but 2025 marks a definitive turning point in his evolution as an artist. His latest work not only reflects personal growth, but also speaks to a broader cultural moment—one where faith-driven music is finding new expression and reaching wider audiences.
