Career
Fox got his start in 2013 on Twitter, tweeting jokes and amassing tens of thousands of followers under the alias "Bootymath." In subsequent years, he dropped the alias and expanded into music, joining the Awful Records collective. In 2017, his publicity increased as he illustrated the album sleeve of Thundercat's album Drunk, and also acted in and wrote for Kuso, the 2017 horror comedy film directed by Flying Lotus.
In October 2018, Fox released his first song, "Square Up" in collaboration with hip hop producer Kenny Beats.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thefader.com/2018/12/11/zack-fox-rap-square-up-family-function|title=I'm officially excited for Zack Fox's rap career|website=The FADER|access-date=6 August 2019 | last = Darville | first = Jordan | date = 11 December 2018}}
In April 2019, Fox appeared on The Cave, a YouTube series in which Kenny Beats invites different artists to freestyle in his studio. Kenny and Fox recorded "Jesus Is the One (I Got Depression)," in the episode, and the song reached the number one spot on Spotify's U.S. viral chart on July 8, 2019.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/zack-fox-kenny-beats-jesus-is-the-one-864720/|title=Comedian Zack Fox Trolled His Way to the Top of the Charts (and Hated It)|last=Leight|first=Elias|date=August 1, 2019|magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=5 August 2019}} The two never intended to release the song commercially, but after its success they released an official version of it in June.
