Wasteland
I'm really bad at posting new things here. So uhhhhh sorry about that. That being said...
NEW ALBUM COMING OUT OCTOBER 28th!!!
Yeah, so I've been talking about this for a while now and I can officially announce this shit. My new album WASTELAND is dropping in October and I'm super excited to share it with you all. If you've seen me live then you probably know the direction that I'm going in with this one, but if not then I'd say expect something sort of in the vein of Exit or Pissing Contest. I'm definitely embracing the noisier grittier side to my music.
Actually... I released this track not too long ago. This is from the new album. Expect this.
Hope you dug that. Brief cuts at the end by Mo Niklz. There's more to come. I'll be dropping a music video for another song relatively soon, so be on the lookout for that. The album's going to be available in a physical form on CD (gettin dem digipacks,son!), but it'll also be up for FREE (or whatever you wanna pay) download over at my bandcamp. Speaking of which... EXIT is now up for free. I had it up for 2 bucks before, but fuck it. If you want it and haven't copped it yet it's yours. Get it!
Like I said... October 28th. I'll have the CDs available then for a couple of Halloween shows I'm doing with Vinyl Cape. It's gonna be a DOPE time. Halloween is the CD release, it's going to be at Cafe 9. I'll have a cool flyer sometime soon.

May 30th. I played a show with KidDEAD when he was on tour as a part of Last of the Horsemen, so I'm excited to see what he does as a solo act. It's gonna be pretty dope. This show's going to be awesome and if you don't believe me just check out the other rappers' videos below. I'm also going to be playing some new stuff so if you're sick of hearing me do the same old songs then this show is definitely for you!

E X I T
EXIT EP IS OUT RIGHT NOW!!! Click the image to download the album for 2 bucks or stream it for freeeee!
Also, if you're in CT be sure to hit up this event at the Crunchiest of Houses. It's a dual CD release party between myself and Anonymous. The lineup has some of the dopest emcees in the area and the Crunch House always has fun shows. I also illustrated this poster. So that's cool.

Upcoming happenings
Hey guys, I've got a show coming up with Ceschi, Ordeal, Self Suffice, Tangsauce, and DJ Mo Niklz. Check it out!
I'm also hard at work on a couple of releases. First up is the Battle Cry EP, which should hopefully be out early May (just in time for the above-mentioned show). That one is one new song, a couple of re-recordings, and a few other things as well. I'm done with the recording of that one and I'm just waiting on a couple of other people to send me their contributions. After that I've got another EP that I'm still writing. We'll talk more about that one later. Stay tuned.

Worm's Eye View
The new album, Worm's Eye View, is up NOW for FREE download! Check it out by clicking the picture below!
This album really is the culmination of my post-college years so far. I'm still experimenting with sounds and styles, sort of running the gamut from noise rap to poppier, more melancholy tracks, and usually lying somewhere in the middle. This, and "Just Sayin" were mainly about me finding a voice. These two releases were about me figuring out how to rap, essentially. What do I want to say? How do I want to say it? How do I want to structure my bars and my rhyme schemes? Hell, how LITERAL do I want to be? All of that is something I've considered, and a lot of this album was me working through that process.

I am also inclined to mention that the store is now functional, so if you like the album and want to show your support then you can take a spin through there and maybe buy a poster or a shirt.

New Website and Upcoming Album
WELCOME TO MY NEW WEBSITE!!!
Alright, as you have probably noticed (since you're already here if you're reading this), this a brand new website to showcase my work. You may have some questions like, "what happened to ZGillustration?" and "Why the name change?"
See... here's the thing.
I got to thinking about the current state of music, and more and more it seems like the music itself is no longer the product. Albums are either put out for free or downloaded illegally while artists are making all of their money off of the live show and the merchandise. Now, what goes on merchandise? What goes on the t shirt? Artwork. The artwork is the product, and the music is the promotion for it. It's a weird backwards way of thinking about it, but it makes sense to me. More importantly, given that frame of thought it makes more sense to try and combine my music and artwork together instead of keeping them separate.
I do too many things, I'm aware of this. So here we have ZG Creations. A blanket home for all of my creative endeavors, both auditory and visual.
Speaking of which, I have an album coming out. February 4th, I'm releasing my full length rap debut, Worm's Eye View. It's 12 tracks of alternative and experimental hip hop completely written, produced, and performed by yours truly.
Be sure to check back often, as I'll be updating with new artwork and tracks from Worm's Eye View fairly regularly. You can also click some of the social media links over on the right side of the page to check out my facebook, twitter, tumblr, and whatnot.
