Zaytoven Lists Steps To Independent Success In The Industry

[@CrackaLackTV]

Building different relationships with different artists is key.

[@chelseaarno8586]

K

[@knogginator]

CrackaLackTV yes. Even artists with 6 soundcloud followers

[@rogercook8277]

Building a relationship with different artist is good, but if your product ain't no good you are just wasting your time. I like when he said " Be your own individual." there are so many upcoming rappers out there feel that if they sound like somebody already out there in the business that they are going to make it as well. Not true.

[@caesartheape8882]

Roger Cook you either sound like somebody else & people think it's impressive but they don't ever come back for more. Or you sound like something crazy different & get mad hate for it but guarantee half those haters hitting your soundcloud links more than your real fans.

[@brandonderrick006]

His first reason he made it was because of the 5 years of hustle. That is the key to any success. It takes 10,000 hours of hustle to make it in America. Do that and you become a master. Or don't....

[@ajjones221]

Brandon Derrick I agree hustle is important, but you gotta be hustling on shit that’s productive for that line of work. There’s a lot of people who think that making 20 beats a day is grinding hard. First of all, this is the exact cause of why the rap game is so watered down on the radio the last decade. Dudes are making 10 beats a day off the same 808 saved template and moving the bass around with a brass hit here and a synth there. Hard work is better used spending maybe 6 hours a day setting up lunches with artists or buying studio time. Researching record labels and calling distributors. It’s reading up in music business. It’s investing in an RnB real singer for vocals. It’s listening to your beat 100 times and not rushing it, so it is a masterpiece...I would also say to someone younger 16-25yrs old. Get an internship at an Indie radio station or any radio station for that matter. Think of what you will learn and how many contacts you will get every week.

[@MrDevinderrickson]

1000%

[@MRHIDEF]

Nothing but respect for this guy. In a time where its "cool" to deny god and his existence, its nice to see somebody successful speak so highly of him.

[@t.y.6640]

MR. HI-DEF i agree

[@diempardon4259]

MAJORITY (90%) of the world is religious. Atheist make up less than 10% and are ridiculed for it, even in silence.

[@Youtubesuckscock]

We don't deny his existence that's your bullshit theologian nonsense there is no God you are an irrational buffon for believing there is.

[@carljohnson1726]

@@KZbinsuckscock "we don't deny his existence". "there is no god". At least be consistent

Zaytoven is a legend

[@datboycotvdotcom9593]

WatSupDehn co-sign dat

[@CrackaLackTV]

Watch all his vids

[@EJacobsBeats]

Zaytoven is that dude. I'm going to follow this advice for sure.

[@DarianoProductions]

Yessir! Me too - so much wisdom here!

[@SpiritRaps]

A lot of People take all the credit in their success , and blame God for their failures , Zaytoven is real. Lots of respect to this man.

[@AesaOTB]

Zay told the truth fr. So many producer's beats sound the same to the point its really hard to stand out. Sometimes you jus really have to be blessed.

[@vivilavidaa]

"If God don't put you in a situation or make you successful there, you won''t be successful." I LOVE THAT

[@savinggrace9844]

lit queen Yes!!!! 🙏🏾

[@skeletonkiss1112]

While it's true, in the words of marilyn Manson "I'm not a slave to a God that doesn't exist, I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit."

[@METRI.A]

You can create your reality no matter the circumstances

[@BaSs_HaXoR]

I like Zaytoven. I love his view on music with spirituality. Deff top 3 of my favorite producers.

[@PreemL]

You know this video is old as fuck when he says that his book is coming out on Fathers day..

[@Maine_87]

Preem L I was about to say the same thing. Vlad isn't shit for posting this so late.

[@AlwayzDope]

***** hes jewish, of course he does lol

[@AlwayzDope]

***** they tend to hold on to things like hording, just a joke tho.

[@chinchecca213]

It's good this brother said God bless him to be that successful he said the right thing

[@1stclassrecordings]

Zaytoven= usher+omarion

[@t.y.6640]

1stclassrecordings lol my thoughts exactly

[@noluvdopegee9948]

1stclassrecordings oharion

[@newpsalmsrecords]

🤣🤣🤣

[@yungnellonthetrack3481]

lmaoooooo

[@marcusbennette8454]

Exactly

[@s4mp_founder]

2. Be your own individual. Zay is a legend with music he created and branding his own sound with real instruments particularly the organ. It's sad when you look another producer like Lex Luger who was unique, crafted his own sound, and was so successful with that sound he changed hip hop entirely and gave it new life. But never really got to chance to reap the benefits or recognition because so many other producers came in and began to steal his trademark.

[@662chillin]

Good interview. Zay seems grounded and a relationship with God will keep you focused and your eyes on the prize. And a producer to stay around over 10 years is an accomplishment. Him and Gucci are just made for each other.

[@Snowgoon901]

Zaytoven's guide to being a successful producer. Step 1: Make a beat Step 2: Sell that beat to rapper A Step 3: Sell that same beat to rapper B Step 4: Slightly change that beat and sell it to rapper C Step 5: ??? Step 6: Profit

[@marcomeme4875]

That sounds a lot like young chop too lol

[@PaintedHoundie]

Snowgoon901 also apply to DJ Mustard

[@CoopTheTruthM]

Honestly bro, that's most producers who get on. People want what works. You gotta milk the sound that you created and brand yourself

[@BeatzByJones]

Snowgoon901 LMAOOOOO

[@DreadfulControversy]

Batman _ DJ Mustard

[@AlMaDines]

I like that God is perfect its true do all the hard work be unique but praying and putting God first and if He don't put you there its not happening

[@DarianoProductions]

I agree with that also!

[@jasonmatthews4449]

So you dont believe in God?

[@LorettasOnly]

Zaytoven is dropping some real knowledge here. Being a individual is a must if you are going to make in this industry and stand out from the rest. I also agree with the favor of God all things are possible. I got a lot respect for Zaytoven, he seems like a real down earth person.

[@swagthabeats]

No one can replace Zay!

[@ReyDTA]

Respect for the positive vibes

[@MrEOM41]

The sound of these trap beats today are based off Zaytovens style.. he's a Legend 1. 5 yrs Grinding even when you aren't being paid upfront 2. His sound didn't get accepted out the gate.. You got to believe 3. Have Faith... Know that everything isn't supposed to be in your control.

[@ingui007]

Zaytoven is one of my favorite producers. My list: 1. Harry Fraud 2. Zaytoven 3. Ty Beats 4. 40 5. Metro Boomin

[@Glez-qr4rq]

these modern producers?

[@colossalmindb.t.s.8755]

Young Chop not on this list 😮😪

[@cynicaesthetics4341]

I love your list dog mine prolly goes like this: Pluto nash Cardo Ronny j Murda beats Loudgod

[@strictlyouttheway5656]

sarabi motley23 yea Ronny the best at using distortion on his 808s 💯🔥

[@ProdByTABeatz]

Ingui Jung TA* Beats

[@Dunetherapper]

I like how he actually gave game instead of just saying " it's in the book you're gonna have to get the book if you want to know"

[@big4486]

That’s Game.. Keep faith in God 💯💯 And staying relevant & Tha club scene is a definite

[@salembeats1875]

DAMN I gotta get that book lol theres alot of books on businesses but none producer related ,shits dope

[@randycarter4785]

Zaytoven is a smart brother! I've been listening to his music for about 11 yrs now ... Great Producer

[@noluvdopegee9948]

Usher + Omarion = Zaytoven = = Osharion

[@ebonyshine1900]

And mixed with a Mexican cause

[@Bojan-tg2vk]

Zaytoven - You hit me in the soul when you said your 3.Step !!! You took ONLY 5 years to become rich, living the way u live, while like you also said "there may be others who are maybe better than me but God will never put him in the position to "make it" - I'm one of these.Why?I started playing music as a child, a piano-flute in a small orchestra, then I had to move to another city...and now I'm sitting at the same spot after producing my music more than 10 years with different daw etc. - But I'm still broke like 10 years ago! Damn!Oh yeah...am older than you but still living with my parents.My artist name is The 41 Pills. I feel now like a totaly failure :/

[@jjfink3925]

Zaytoven is just an amazing human, doesn't drink or smoke goes to church made TRAP music and made millions of dollars for him and others.

[@smokexreefer]

Respect to my man Zay. that under arm kush beat is still banging.

[@FredFlexin]

Too damn hard

[@neshashizz]

you know it smell musty!

[@MosteProduction]

zay is hands down best trap producer

[@savageproductions4685]

as a kid Zaytoven was probably like "mom, I want to become a producer full time," mom says, good luck with that, now go do your homework. now look at him, making millions and meeting famous rappers for his job.

[@Adam-zv5dw]

this guy smart he's not with the industry shit and humble keeping his faith through the fame

[@staytru69]

He A Real 1 Cant Change Dat When U Really Real And Intuned Wit Yaself💯

[@AIRJAVITUBE]

i love how he give t up to God and still play piano at his church. Shows you don’t have to be high to be fly. lol

[@tcr333]

He played organ in church. I noticed that overwhelmingly, musicians that make it have one thing in common - classical training in a real instrument usually before they started even writing beats. Also he is right you also need the blessing of God.

[@J3r155]

Powerful Interview from one of the best Producers in hiphop of all time zaytoven changed the game

[@ehwilliamz]

That Future-Foreva track was his dopest beat he ever produced in my opinion.

[@AIRJAVITUBE]

crazy thing is we got alot in common i cut hair and make beats and my name Zae. I love watchin Zaytoven cook up tracks he hard.

[@badadpoopi]

I respect that Zaytoven! Ain’t nothing wrong with being Spiritual! God is the way, the truth!!!!

[@FrenchJae]

"Stoopid" is Zay's BEST BEAT imo

[@eeefox1]

i like zay more n more erryday

Zaytavovens strength is his keys

[@eddykhreg]

The favor of God!✊🏾

[@Alex2Major]

Zaytoven ,was the only reason I listened to Gucci, when he sounded like he had bad congestion.

[@YogaFlameTV]

Launching a small business takes ten years on avg to get "comfortable"

[@papisco3315]

That's the same word said when i started making beats Make and create Beatz my own way Just as Zay said be yourself and be unique And also be yourself

[@elamigoalonsowattz2501]

Let go of control, let God work. Zay a wise man fr

[@ivysmith2794]

idk who he is but he is making a whole lot of sense

[@UC704TV]

I still watch Birds of a feather from time to time.

[@ThaiZeo]

I wanna get up as an independent artist.

[@TayyJayy]

I’m a young artist and so want to pursue in music and do what I love, but I don’t know how to stop anxiety from letting me make songs

[@rsingh6590]

DJ kahled nephew cali is a beast at beats also

[@Eezbeats]

My boy zay always inspirational. I'ma work wit him soon

[@mikkelnashville5204]

I agree with the comment be yourself too many people try to be everyone else but that. I'm a producer singer songwriter. I stopped trying to be anybody else but me. Thanks for the truth

[@LaCheleWallace]

I thought that was Chingy fo' a minute. Independent success is to get on record, talk about somethin' stupid and sound like everybody else. That's 2015 standard.

[@LGM1194]

Lol best way to make it. Find somebody who needs you as much as you need them or fits your sound and stick and build with them. Ex: chop&keef. Mike Will with future. Etc...

[@1QpVision]

jamalb4life Future did NOT come up with mike will

[@LGM1194]

They got a shitload of songs and made alottamoney together. Ijs. They feed off of each other

[@superQman600]

Metrobooming and future would be more of a match
