ZayZayy Drops Hot New Song “Walk Wit It”
ZayZayy is bringing the heat this summer! Steadily providing music that’s unique, creative, and always tells a story, ZayZayy has been climbing up the ranks and delivering nothing but hits for his audiences. He’s an up-and-coming artist who is eagerly anticipating his turn in the spotlight. He recently released his new track “Walk Wit It,” which displays his abilities on a whole new level and solidifies him as someone to keep an eye on.
The song is catchy and ultimately relates to a real-life experience that ZayZayy had.
“I would describe my sound as ‘reality’ in a sense to anyone who may not be familiar,” he said. “It’s a sound a lot of people tend to relate to.”
With this new tune, the independent artist, who hails from Liberia, Africa, shows the world what he’s capable of. It’s a profound, introspective track that relates to ZayZayy’s recent experience.
“The song was inspired by a break-in at my apartment while I was out of town in NY and translated into me writing a song about ‘when doing something good, the hate is going to come – gotta embrace it!’” ZayZayy explained in a recent interview.
ZayZayy’s resolve to push even harder was fueled by the song, which he wrote after his flat was broken into. According to him, it was an awful scenario that finally inspired him to write “Walk Wit It” and accept the truth that success is accompanied by hatred. “Walk Wit It” is a nice single that showcases ZayZayy’s narrative and lyrical talents. It features a nice chorus and, in the end, a relaxed atmosphere with some singing and melodic rapping.
In terms of who ZayZayy is as an artist, he claims he is influenced by Davido, Drake, and Young Thug. It’s no surprise that his music has been regarded as a distinct “realistic” sound with a component that everybody can identify with.
“Music initially was used as an outlet to tell my story, like a form of therapy for many years,” ZayZayy said. “I started taking music more seriously in 2019 once I became managed by Round Group Entertainment.”
ZayZayy says he’s had lots of good moments in his music career now that he’s taken his music profession seriously. ZayZayy is just getting started, from working with other artists like Babyface Ray and Lil Dude to utilizing music as a creative avenue to express himself.
“My most proud moment is honestly when my mother accepted my music as a career and having her support,” he said. “Like I said, coming from a third world country, music is not seen as a career.”
ZayZayy is demonstrating that he’s not someone to mess with with songs like “Walk Wit It,” as well as a repertoire of other tracks like “We Not Cool” and his new EP “Just Because.”
When asked what he wants people to take away from his songs, he said:
“I hope my music is receptive and really something people can connect and relate to.”

Jadakiss & Juelz Santana On That “Party N Bullsh*t”
In preparation for his forthcoming album Better Late Than Never, New York’s own Juelz Santana enlists Jadakiss for the R2DaEz & Duke Dollas-produced anthem “Party N Bullshit.” Accompanied by a new music video directed by Andre “DreVinci” Jones as well, the latest drop from the Harlem MC serves as first official single on his new body of work and finds him trading bars with his Verzuz adversary while paying homage to Notorious B.I.G.’s 1993 classic cut “Party and Bullshit.”
When asked about what it was like creating the song with the LOX frontman in a press statement, Santana reveals:
“Collaborating with Jadakiss was natural. We both bring different vibes to the table, and this record reflects that synergy. The vibe in the studio was crazy that day. We were both vibing off each other’s energy, bouncing ideas back and forth. Kiss brought that classic, raw lyricism, and I added my own flavor with the flow. It was all about capturing that essence of having a good time while still keeping it authentic.”
As one of the founding members of the legendary Hip-Hop group Diplomats, Juelz Santana has been in the spotlight since 2002. He was featured on major hit records by Cam’ron such as “Oh Boy” and “Hey Ma” and he was on Chris Brown’s hit “Run It.” His meteor was rising so fast that he was signed to Def Jam and had a much rumored joint project with Lil Wayne in the works. Label politics and jail time derailed him for a time making him one of the industry’s greatest what ifs. Now, back with new material and a mindset to match it clear he dosen;t plan on slowing down anytime soon.

Mai Lee Takes The Spotlight With “Von” Live Performance
Vietnamese R&B/Pop vocalist Mai Lee enlists guitarist Connor Low as well as background singers Shanelle Scott, Dabriel Moore, and Brittny Holloway for a live performance of “Von (Love Me Like The First Time)” taken off her ‘FRIENDZ’ LP. Filmed at STL’s iconic Mai Lee Restaurant in Brentwood, during her Lunar New Year (Unplugged) concert, the intimate in-person experience compliments the Bradd Young & Vega Heartbreak produced track perfectly.
A medley of the people and places she represents, Mai Lee transcends the boundaries of music and fashion. Growing up in Missouri, the seasoned singer has always had music on her mind and in her heart. Attending performing arts schools during her youth, she uses those experiences to create a unique genre blending sound. Known for her intoxicating and soulful vocals, Mai Lee has shared the stage with artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, 2 Chainz, Fetty Wap, Estelle, and Busta Rhymes, performing in front of an audience of 20K+ people.
While you may hear some familiar influences in her sound, Mai Lee notes her parents as her biggest inspirations for her music career. Fleeing from Vietnam in 1978 during the Vietnam War, Lee’s parents migrated through multiple refugee camps over the years before calling St. Louis their home. They opened up the first Vietnamese and Chinese Restaurant, Mai Lee Restaurant, a local staple in the city. The restaurant was built from absolutely nothing and ended up becoming the blueprint. Watching them work hard towards their dreams gave her the hustle and grit to pursue her dreams.
Press play on the live performance visual for “Von,” stream the official audio on your DSP of choice, and expect the re-release of Mai’s ‘FRIENDZ‘ to arrive later this year via Venice Music!
