Isaah Micheal Anthony Legget, professionally known as OZAYBABY, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Houston, Texas. Rooted in the city’s legendary hip-hop culture, OZAYBABY represents a new wave of artists blending southern grit with emotional storytelling.
Growing up in Houston, he was surrounded by the influence of rap greats and the city’s signature chopped-and-screwed sound. Artists like Lil Wayne inspired him early on to push boundaries lyrically and stylistically. That energy shaped his foundation as he began creating music in 2012, initially recording covers before developing his own distinct voice.
The name OZAYBABY carries both confidence and meaning. “Zay” was his longtime nickname, and “Oh Zay Baby” was a phrase that symbolized how he envisioned his success—turning disbelief into admiration. The name stuck and became a reflection of his drive to prove himself and stay authentic.

Through songs like “Wrong,” “Lost Hope,” and “Glok Patek,” OZAYBABY delivers raw, introspective narratives drawn from personal experiences. His time in the U.S. Marine Corps added another layer to his artistry, deepening his understanding of struggle, discipline, and emotion. “I want people to feel the pain and real-life experiences I’ve been through,” he says. “Every song is a piece of my truth.”
OZAYBABY first gained attention with his breakout single “Lit Life” (2017), which introduced his melodic yet grounded approach to storytelling. The track quickly helped him build a dedicated following across platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and Apple Music, where his catalog continues to grow.
Currently, OZAYBABY is gearing up to release his upcoming EP titled Time Won’t Heal — a deeply personal project that captures different chapters of his life. Each track dives into the emotions of growth, pain, and perseverance, cementing his place as one of Houston’s most promising emerging voices.
