  • Shut your mouth when there's a legend in the room, you might learn something! With that being said, we got a chance to speak to Atlanta producer Zaytoven. The churchgoing Atlanta rap veteran who has shared studio sessions with Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Future, The Migos, and more for a decade let 4sho Magazine into his home for this dope interview! In this interview he talks about how he got his name, how many beats he knocks out per day, his favorite artist to work with in the industry, and even breaks down how an upcoming rapper can get them a Zaytoven beat with a limited budget.

      marvinxi15 First and foremost you don't know me as an artist. I produce, write, and engineer majority of my records.
      I personally don't need an engineer and choose to work with a select few to keep working relationships open.
      I encourage you to listen to some of my music then tell us what you think, good or bad.

    I gotta agree with Zay here. When an artists hits me up with a little bit of money, no matter how little, it sends the message that s/he is willing to invest in themselves, they are serious about their craft (because people spend their money on what they value) and they also have respect for my talent as a producer. As a result I'm much more open to even giving out free beats and services...normally. It's important to have respect for all your peers in this game; your fellow artists, producers, engineers (recording, mixing, and mastering), video directors, etc. Music is not an easy or cheap business to be in, but common courtesy will help you get far.

But first I want to fill it with fills, special transitions, I’m gonna spend some time because I think a rap group wants to take.
