Who is
Master Wiz?
A fixture of underground hip-hop out of Atlanta, Georgia, Master Wiz has been carving his own lane since the early 2000s. He first surfaced as half of the duo Distant Pham alongside Realz Reality, whose debut The Love became an underground favorite. From there he went solo, building a dedicated following across releases like The Hunger (2006) and the 2011 single Windows, which topped the Amped Sounds Magazine chart.
The craft is what sets him apart — dense, clever wordplay delivered in clean, unhurried flows, almost always over beats he builds himself. He's shared songs with respected names across the scene, from Realz Reality to Awich and Tek of Smif-N-Wessun, and his production swings from spitfire intensity to laid-back, late-night warmth.
After an 11-year hiatus, he returned in 2024 with World Away — a boom-bap concept album drawn from his love of sci-fi and comics, aliens, planets, and stars threaded through tracks like Planet Killer, Alien Eyes, and the lead single Rainy Days. Endustrie plays live guitar across the record, laying real instrumentation under Wiz's production and bars — and critics have placed the writing in the same conversation as the genre's heavyweights.
