With lyricism that captures the true elements of life, Zay is able to paint images with his music that resonates with his fans.

Isaiah McKenzie was born and raised in the small city of Greenville, located in South Carolina. He has grown into quite the outstanding artist that fans worldwide have come to know as Zay. His musical influences were magnified by the inspiration of greats like Eminem, Drake, and Lil Wayne, among others. He took this fire for hip hop and combined it with the encouragement and impact of his family and the many experiences that life has brought his way. This gave rise to the talent that has been gaining recognition for his genre blending music and the artform he holds when composing his songs.

Zay has more than earned the spot where he now resides as an American rapper and songwriter. With his range and diversity in his songs, he is able to create any feel that he wishes. Whether nostalgic, uplifting, motivational, lyrical or even intimate, his is versatile and creative enough to accomplish either. This is reflected in releases to date such as his first project ZayEP, to his Dancehall inspired single “Coast to Coast” featuring Breana Marin, to his highly anticipated single “Ah Yeah” that was number one on the BMS radio station charts for the week of April 18 to 24^th. Zay has also found success in the mainstream world not only with his solo projects but alongside his group, Set 4 Life, who signed to the record label Manifest Records in 2018 and released a banger of an album, “Shut Up and Listen.” The project was so well received that they had a performance run in numerous cities like Atlanta GA, Raleigh NC, Fayetteville NC, Durham NC, New York NYC and Greenville, SC.

Zay has since been enjoying even more accolades like performing at the Chance Theater in New York and accumulating an impressive 200k streams on his debut album “Vengeance Without Fear” in only 2 weeks. The album is the culmination of Zay’s talent and growth in the music industry. It showcases his diversity along with his wittiness while creating songs that suck the listener into his world. The album isn’t meant for one group of people but was curated to resonate with any that comes into contact with its sound. “Vengeance Without Fear” revolves around hip hop but splices in other genres like dancehall to give a memorable musical experience. The project shows Zay in all his glory, unfiltered with walls let down for the world to indulge. He speaks on a variety of topics that touch the soul, transitioning between not settling for less, valuing the opportunities that await, not letting the outside noise dictate the future, and the dangers of involving the wrong people within your life.

“Vengeance Without Fear” is an intimate connection between Zay and his fans. Follow the Greenville artist and listen to the many sounds infused within his music.
