Zaytoven rose to prominence in the mid-'00s as Gucci Mane's beatmaking maestro, fusing contemporary trunk-rattling beats to keyboards with a gospel flair. "Icy" was his breakthrough, and its cold, space-age synths somehow sound both dilapidated and futuristic. By "Make Tha Trap Say Aye", he'd mastered his watchmaker-precise tick-tock style. Soon he was concocting jams for R&B superstars, as on Usher's twinkling "Papers".
