ZAYALLCAPS Swings Through “SPREE”

“Coming off his first solo release since 2021, ZAYALLCAPS swings through “SPREE” delivering humorous one liners filled with down to earth charisma and childish bounciness.”

Deviating from his boom-bap/jazz inspired work on joints with Kwame Adu in their duo KWAMZAY, ZAY displays eclectic breadth in his style on “SPREE.” Accompanied by Conjust8’s warm and water like production, ZAY is to able to build an infectious flow that adds genuine feeling to each line, cheeky or not. 

ZAY walks the thin line between something you’d hear a rapper with a 360 deal and rental chains say, and something your homie who can’t afford the wings from the pizza place would say. But this juxtaposition works so well as it’s all done with intention. Seemingly surface level lines like “see me on the gram, you be liking that shit” or “got a credit card, I be swiping that shit” are strewn together with a line like “I got these problems and I got these pill bottles” to build the ethos of ZAY as a colorful personality who is hesitant to reveal their background but willing to do so with time.
