Zeddy Will’s debut mixtape, “Set The Tone,” is a bold, ten-track statement designed to showcase his versatility and musical evolution.

On the mixtape, Zeddy features the notable artists, including Lil Tjay, Jenn Carter, and New York staple, French Montana. French appears on the song “Back Back,” rapping, “I don’t run track, but I’m running through a check. Baby girl hit the floor, get your eagle on. Gotta get a bag with your people on…”
Whether he’s cracking jokes, spinning club-ready hits, or reflecting on the come-up, Zeddy uses “Set The Tone” to prove he’s not just a viral moment—he’s the future.
