Zay Brown: My favorite rapper growing up was Eazy E and Nas can’t forget about any of the other greats from NYC from B.I.G. To Big L Gang Starr the list goes on and on right now I’d have to say J. Cole is easily my favorite Artist because of everything he had to overcome to get to where he is today And then made an entire family in dreamville I would love to sign to that label one day and be apart of Revenge of the dreamers I know that album is going to be incredible but my creative process is simple I take a situation I’ve been through or witnessed and I create a story from that add a dope melody to it and make sure my verses are something to remember because first impression is extremely important but I will always be myself no matter what
