Ezekiel Giles (born October 13, 1975), better known by his stage name Freekey Zekey, is an African-American rapper and music executive. He is best known as a founding member of The Diplomats and as Owner/CEO of 730 Dips Records.[1] He is also a member of fellow rapper Jim Jones' ByrdGang. Freekey has made a habit of yelling his name in songs; it is his signature on tracks, whether he is featured or the sole artist. He is the cousin of Dipset leader Cam'ron. Zekey was shot on April 25, 2003, but has since recovered.[2] Freekey Zekey spent almost three years in jail at Durham Correctional Center in Durham, NC on drug charges before being released on November 20, 2006.[3][4]
