Why Zaytoven's Legacy Will Live Forever | Documentary | Red Bull Music

[@Ghostar8891]

That basement should be a Atlanta historic site, so much talent and so many bangers created there🔥

[@ProdFazo]

No not really because he still lives their and his parents do and the don't want random people walking in his house. Tbh.

[@bz.productions]

Nah, that's just weird.

Being true to his spirit is why he never fell off.

[@bugglemagnum6213]

Being the worlds best producer is why he never fell off, spirituality doesnt hurt

@@bugglemagnum6213 of all the popular producers, I think he’s one of the best at the keys. Others come close, but it’s really simple to make “trap” beats on a computer - everybody can’t glide on the keys and play in different genres

[@TeflonGeneral]

I didn't know much about Zaytoven prior to this documentary. Nothing short of inspiring. Amazing things happen when parents support their child's (children's) dreams.

[@JasonRosarioTV]

Back in 2006 I knew Zaytoven would be one of the greatest of all time.

[@bunnisibanda4601]

Facts

[@LikeSpee]

I didn’t know. I didn’t know who he was. I had just moved to ATL in 06. He was my alternate barber when my barber couldn’t get me and he was so humble he never said he was producing for Gucci and they never talked about him like that in the shop. He was cutting at First Class in Stonecrest mall. I don’t think he stopped cutting until he started working on stuff for Usher like a couple years later.

[@DeFameWRONGCROWD]

Dam, Atlanta is such a special place 💯 Respect to Zay and his whole family. Dude, playing in the church every Sunday. Mad respect 💯 This reminds me of the stories I used to read about Rico Wade and The Dungeon. This whole documentary is 🔥 RIP Bankroll Fresh

[@MyKeeP81]

Man I am humbled😔This just changed my whole mind set of what I been thinking as a writer and a musician. This dude play at church just like me & make beats, he’s winning for Christ. I know a guy that told me these words exactly” When Gucci Mane started showing up in studio sessions in ATL he quit engineering” wait til I talk to him again. We’re so judgmental I’m almost in tears😇🙏🏾Lord bless this young brotha.

[@JEtienneMusic]

I have always been a fan of Zay, but never knew he didn't smoke, drink and still plays faithfully at his church every Sunday! he's definitely the benchmark!

[@shegzproduction3437]

Gosh this documentary came right on time for the past two years I have been struggling to balance my way into going fully into music as an artist & producer but have this big fight in my mind of being a church musician while while I struggle to balance the church and secular. This documentary really gave me the boost I need.

[@sama.jlouis_official]

Zayto is really an amazing guy

[@KJfreshh69]

I look up to zay so much, I enrolled into barber college, bought my own laptop and keyboard and started teaching myself how to make beats. There’s so many guys out there getting famous off of their beats but they have connections. I have no one but myself. I’m 30 years old and meeting zaytoven and talking to him is at the top of my bucket list. He’s the best... hands down

[@mikelilguapo4826]

If I was ZayToven I would of been proud of Gucci Mane bringing me around street niggas and the first thing Gucci says to them, he introduces me by saying “ hey man this my producer ZayToven, he doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t curse, he also doesn’t drink, show him some respect. “

[@gericcobeats2994]

wow, his story/drive is truly inspiring.

[@MaryWashington-Lewis]

His people understood the assignment. ..they didn't judge or stop him from what he was doin' because GOD was using him. He was low key keeping these guys off the streets and doing something constructive with their time...through music...through the gift that was given to him. Music is powerful-- people forget there is a spiritual component to music.
