    Hip-Hop's profile has never been bigger, and the rugged trap music of Atlanta has transcended the genre to influence mainstream popular music and culture. As a new generation of talent pushes the music's popularity to new heights, Zaytoven cements his status as one of modern Hip-Hop's most impactful and prolific producers.
    Zaytoven's studio in his parent's basement was the incubator for some of the scene's greatest talents. While his list of collaborators is extensive, one of his most notable partnerships is with ATL icon Gucci Mane. The work they created together is genre defining, and the two continue to be a driving force in Hip-Hop.
    Phenomenally talented and remarkably humble, Zay's commitment to his values and faith has kept him on his creative path as he continues to gift us with more music.

      I didn’t know. I didn’t know who he was. I had just moved to ATL in 06. He was my alternate barber when my barber couldn’t get me and he was so humble he never said he was producing for Gucci and they never talked about him like that in the shop. He was cutting at First Class in Stonecrest mall. I don’t think he stopped cutting until he started working on stuff for Usher like a couple years later.

    Great Documentary. Hat's off. Zaytoven a pure soul. Been riding to his productions since Freshman year in High school. God Bless.
