Zaytoven: Future's Beast Mode 16 is Done, Gucci & Future Working Quickly

Between working with Gucci Mane and Future, producer Zaytoven explains the difference between the two stars' sound and why the What a Time to Be Alive rapper likes to release back-to-back projects. During an interview with DJ Vlad, Zaytoven compared his working relationship with Gucci to the likes of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. "We created a sound that belongs in the rap game right now. What we have together is something unbreakable, like a Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. We have created something so special that I don't think it's going anywhere."
Further, the producer talked about Future creating his orchestrated sound and why he chose to feed fans with new records continuously. "Just us two alone have done 100 songs. It's cool to let all that music sit there on the hard drive...but I think the fans now have ADD. One project you gave us last month, that ain't enough." With critics claiming the rapper may burn himself out by oversaturating the market with his music, Zaytoven explains the strategy these days is necessary to stay relevant. "The way to stay on fire is to keep giving, keep feeding these folks." He said, "Or you can cool off and somebody else can come in and really kind of take the spots."

What I like the most about Future is just that he drops tapes out of nothing like , and if he give a release date he drops it on that date

[@mackvelly8899]

[@koolkidkase3404]

Richmond Jones lil one jams so hard n the whip!!!!!

[@harrisonboogie]

lol DS2 is probably the most creative and experimental trap album there is. Everybody Looking is alright trap beats frim top trap producers and Gucci's funny bars. Gucci does what he does, trap. DS2 pushed what trap could be.

[@yusufabdullah5008]

Why Zaytoven always looking like its him versus the world in his thumbnail pics 😂😂

[@ktiwnkings7715]

That was a perfect ending building to the fact that metro gave props to the inventor of this

[@Josh_17]

Future with Zay on production has always been my favourite sound of him.

[@megatronsean9987]

Dont care for Future over Zay beats. Like him w/ Metro Southside and Mike Will

[@DeAndreHampton]

"where i came from" was guap tho

[@cordster515]

Real Sisters was top 3 on DS2

[@reddsmoke904]

Dont forget Will A Fool and Nard N B

[@DeAndreHampton]

+Enyawd Nar'raw will go crazy on that "how it feel" i need that instro

[@theaspiration718]

+Cords no it wasn't

[@mr.a5803]

Zay is the best he created a wave that's been going for like 11yrs now

[@iLLestTv]

Future the only nigga I know to make 6 Mixtapes and 2 Albums using the same damn beat bruh 💀💀

[@jgp7414]

but his mixtapes all have their own sound. like beastmode sounds very different from monster

[@iLLestTv]

jonny peth lmao sure

[@sensethevillen]

+jonny peth W. monster seems more rugged that beast Mode imo

[@valogang6041]

+jonny peth and they both sound different from 56 nights

[@boososa]

56 nights🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DiamondLife561]

You see how surprised zay was when ad said metro called him the godfather lol that's real tho

[@williamcox6590]

I still bang that march madness n 56 nights..🌋

[@newbreedHD]

When Zay said "I don't think we're trying to create timeless songs" he summed up what's wrong with music today. I also disagree with "1 song can't last you a year no more" because although Fetty had 3 more singles, Trap Queen lasted a while. Drake could've rode Hotline Bling without dropping anything. Desiigner could've rode Panda longer but Timmy Turner kinda caught. YG rode "my n***a" for a while. I could be wrong but I feel with the RIGHT single it can still be done.

[@Tainomontana]

Zay a humble dude with a lot of talent gotta respect that

[@purposeandgoals1189]

Future release mixtapes that people don't look for (like the tape he did with Esco) but he refuse to release Ape Sh!T and Beast Mode 16.

[@purposeandgoals1189]

Trill The Producer​ so....... Where's the full project?

[@fksara7708]

+Marvin Hendríx lafláre next year!

[@jema5039]

Nigga that's DJ Esco's mixtape. That's not futures, he's basically pulling a DJ Khaled

[@purposeandgoals1189]

Jarrytt Kelly ik bro.... Lol.

[@joeydaboss1001]

That keep it real track with him n gucci was hard too

[@DonFamiliaTV]

trust me,I did watch this interview,.. and this is besides the point,..but is that a USPA tee Zay got on??...I know Bruh caked up...but I'm just curious...if so,..his attire alone shows his humbleness...great producer BTW ...

[@trippyfishingvigo]

i didn't even think about that but i guess it goes to show that when a dude is doing well in life and not just showing they are just happy with themselves and confident with whatever they feel like wearing . i think its great to see someone in the rap world and celebrities do shit like this

[@DonFamiliaTV]

+David Castillo ...I concur, Zay seems like a down to earth dude 👍

[@DonFamiliaTV]

+Dawg Pund ..you feel better now?

[@DonFamiliaTV]

+Dawg Pund 😂😂sheesh...you seem super unhappy with life lol...did your dog die?,..is your wallet empty? ..or did you walk in on the neighborhood kids running train on your mother? 😂 what has you so mad? 😂

[@czjayz080]

Zay is the only one who really could shed light on where the industry is headed rn cuz he is the benefactor to one of the hottest artist out right now. but I gotta say iont fuck with music now. RIP Pac and may brave people like him stand up and be willing to die for this music shit. because I sure as hell won't die for todays shit.

[@prophecy9521]

Future & Gucci should make music together.

[@r.e.z.nbdstudio]

[@THEBIGGESTSCUMBAG]

[@4Skyrim]

Sway might not have the answers but Zay do!

[@Youngsymbolva]

Future and Zay definitely make heat together cuz Beast Mode was dope and that new track Too much sauce, but i feel once Future got wit Metro & 808 Mafia that took him to another height honestly...Mike Will was a great collab as well

[@celebratelife3754]

Zay been & always laced Gucci wit the best instrumentals hands down

[@CasanovaPockets]

that watch is crazy

[@AJ-kb1kf]

people complain about future constantly dropping music but if we could listen to all his music that Tupac and Biggie made that didnt make the tracklist im pretty sure their would be some bullshit in their.

[@thingschange12]

wtf u talking about

[@Mr-Major]

+One Celebo Facts only

[@ianlangille558]

Truth. They can't all be winners. Future is obviously going to have experimental stinkers, but the man also has a ton of great songs. People just need to get the artists tracks they like on their ipods, ignore the rest and quit bitching about the crap songs (unless you can make a better / more popular song)

[@nomynameisflacko4707]

+Ian Langille Agreed 100% !

[@AJ-kb1kf]

[@realkb64]

Zay is the 🐐
