Overcoming the allure of college basketball and the tantalizing prospect of a record deal through DDG label, Zay KG's extraordinary journey exemplifies his unwavering commitment to his music and the art of storytelling.
Inspired by iconic artists like Lil Uzi, Zay KG remains steadfast in carving out his own unique sound, reflecting his life experiences and emotions. Although Lil Uzi has been a motivational figure, Zay KG emphasizes that his music is a genuine portrayal of his individuality and artistic expression.
At the young age of 7, Zay KG's love for music was apparent as he watched YouTube beats and penned his flows in a notebook. Despite briefly pursuing a college basketball career, his heart always belonged to music. When an enticing record deal opportunity presented itself through DDG, Zay KG's talent and potential came to the forefront, bringing him close to securing a major milestone in his career.
However, life's journey took him on a different path. Deciding to forgo the traditional route, Zay KG chose to drop out of college, fully immersing himself in the world of music, and fearlessly pursuing his passion. "If someone told you to walk through a dark cave, you wouldn't do it because you would be scared of getting stuck," says Zay KG. "But in the end, you have to push through the entire cave to get to the light which is your ultimate goal."
Zay KG's music transcends genres, blending elements of rap and hip-hop. His creations encompass tunes that make listeners groove and bob their heads, as well as soul-stirring tracks that provoke deep introspection.

With the highly anticipated release of "Hard Knocks," Zay KG's latest track, fans and critics alike eagerly await the accompanying music video. The captivating visuals, directed by Media Plug, will premiere on August 4th, offering a dynamic visual representation of Zay KG's artistry. The track features an alluring beat produced by Figment, making it a must-listen for hip-hop enthusiasts.
Despite his meteoric rise, Zay KG faced a recent setback when his collaboration with DC The Don, "Life's Been Good," was unexpectedly removed from ALL streaming platforms. Having invested $3,000.00 in the feature, Zay KG is determined to find answers. He is currently in communication with DC's label, Rostrum Records, to understand the reasons behind the track's removal and to seek resolution.
Zay KG's journey of breaking conventions, embracing his passion for music, and coming close to a record deal with DDG has undoubtedly positioned him as a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene.
