Ballin Out Of Spite

Back for his sophomore solo project ZAYALLCAPS is past introductions. After spending countless hours cultivating his craft “Ballin Out of Spite” is the fruit of his efforts. Cohesive and catchy, the project features airy, bouncing production that provides a perfect backdrop for ZAY to showcase his unique vocal tone and energy that toes the line between catchy pop and personal, introspective rap; creating something that is impossible to forget and undeniably authentic.

ZAYALLCAPS

It is no secret to those who know his work that Sacramento born and LA-based Rapper/Producer ZAYALLCAPS is pushing the boundaries of internet rap. Refusing to be tied to one genre or sound, ZAY jumps from producing jazz inspired boom bap with his duo project KWAMZAY to futuristic, quirky, and catchy hip-hop solo projects with style and confidence. 

No matter what lane ZAY is in, he does so with confidence and an infectious energy that bleeds onto his tracks. His ability to tackle serious subjects with a tongue-in-cheek energy enables him to create projects that are catchy and easy to ride to as much as they are personal. 

Coupled with his unique lyrical approach, ZAY is quite simply a production wizard. Whether armed with nothing but an iPhone and Koala Sampler or a full production suite he is able to make beats that are constantly evolving and full of depth. ZAY’s production style favors groove and interesting sample selection, sitting somewhere in between Dilla and Pi’erre Bourne.
