Zachary Channing Fox (born December 6, 1990) is an American stand-up comedian, rapper, actor, DJ, and internet personality from Atlanta, Georgia. He has collaborated with Kenny Beats, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Doechii, and Bnyx. He describes his genre of art as "Shemar-Core," a term that likely references actor Shemar Moore, who serves as an artistic muse for Fox.
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.
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. The two never intended to release the song commercially, but after its success they released an official version of it in June.
His 2019 single "The Bean Kicked In" is featured on FlyLo FM, a fictional radio station in Grand Theft Auto V hosted by record producer Flying Lotus. In 2020, as a response to Gal Gadot's controversial "Imagine" video with her friends, Fox released a cover of "Slob on My Knob" by the Tear da Club Up Thugs, inviting several rappers and black personalities for the cover.
On October 15, 2021, Zack Fox released his debut studio album, Shut the Fuck Up Talking to Me.
Personal life Fox started dating chef and entrepreneur Kat Matutina in 2018. They got engaged in March 2022, and married on November 9, 2024. The couple resides in Los Angeles and have a radio show together on NTS Radio.
