Zero 9:36 is an American rapper and singer known within the SoundCloud and underground hip-hop scene for his emotionally raw, genre-blending style. Born Matthew Cullen in 1997, he emerged as part of a wave of independent artists who fused rap cadences with melodic, often confessional songwriting, building a dedicated online following through streaming platforms and social media.
His music tends to draw on themes of introspection and personal struggle, delivered with a distinctive vocal tone that blurs the line between rapping and singing. As a self-driven musician, he has cultivated an identity outside of major-label systems, appealing to fans who gravitate toward the DIY, internet-born hip-hop movement.
