He was 20-30 years advanced. Do your history on him. That man is a staple for Southern rap at first when he came out I didn’t respect him at all but after a few more listens to him back in 2010 & 2011 I became hooked and a f’kin’ fan. We can’t forget the man behind the musical beats and anthems Zaytoven! 🫡💯

As a father who is an artist, producer, engineer, and sound designer i felt like I needed to see this. Its like God sent me here. I love his mentality and work ethic. I'm glad he plays instruments instead of just clicking and pasting. I play the piano as well and am getting better as you read this. Zay is a true inspiration to me and I'm wishing him and his family blessings. Hope we all win!

Gospel is at the ROOT of the Black American musical tree.

@zugootsprevasio6595 3 ай бұрын

Well technically the Roots of Black Music come from Africa. Gospel is more of an influence.

@urbannuance5151 3 ай бұрын

@zugootsprevasio6595 That's technically ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. Black Americans have a distinctively unique culture. There was an ETHNO GENESIS, in which Black Americans have created a culture that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Africa. We've been on this soil documented at least since the 1500s. We also have aboriginal heritage that ties us to this land. We are not AFRICAN by any sense of the word. Black Americans have more of a cultural continuity than Africa because Africa was COLINZED, and the countries were named by White Europeans during the 1800s in the BERLIN CONFERENCE. LOOK THAT UP, MR AFRICA. The creator of Afro beats "Fela Cuti" had to come to Black Americans to find the meaning of Black Pride and to get inspiration from Jazz and the other genres created by Black Americans. Don't EVER give our credit to Africa. We are CULTURALLY LIGHT YEARS advanced than Africa. We've got Gospel, Soul, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Disco, House, Techno, Hip-hop etc. All born from the LEGACY OF AMERICAN SLAVERY. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Africa. Otherwise, they would have had those genres first. But they DIDN'T.

Huge blessup to my guy Zay!!! I've watched all of his past production vids as he dropped them. I'd have to say most people don't understand that Zaytoven is a Musician first Producer second, nor identify that his skillset is a way of life. It is easy to see that he is blessed with the gift of song, easily seen in the church session. As a former musician (Trumpet, French Horn, Mellophone, Keys) I appreciate watching Zaytoven in his creative space build the track from scratch. His unique sound is something that most producers aspire to obtain. Much love and blessings to Zaytoven. Keep them bangers coming my guy. Richmond VA- Ret. Army

This shit is classic! 9029 Studios in was a warehouse in Oakland. which house multiple artist for over 20 years. My pops was there since 1996 when Green Day was there getting there name popping. Fast forward to the early 2000's Jacka, Husalah, FedX was in the building, J Stalin, Mistah Fab, Keak Da Sneak, Mac Dre, you name it everybody used to come through. JT The Bigga Figga was there and his studio was across from ours. I walked into his studio to see what was shaking and saw Zaytoveen in there making a beat on a MPC. You could tell he was fresh in it. Now look a him. An OG in the game. Lesson is stay humble.

I grew up Around Music. and no one played PIANO or SYNTHS... so I picked up the Piano and Keyboard. out of like wanting to be apart of it "the music", and be able to do something no one else was doing. everyone had there lane already around me, also why i started mixing and Recording. None of my friends did that, but they all played music.
