About Z H I N O

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was around 3/4 years old. Get Rich or Die Tryin' the soundtrack for the 50 Cent Bio-pic had just dropped. There was a track on their called 'when it rains it pours'. It was the first rap song I ever heard properly and I was hooked. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Drake, Nothing Was the Same (Deluxe) Kanye West, Graduation Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp a Butterfly TPAB started my love for concepts and made me look at myself as a black man. Nothing Was The Same taught me how to make my stories feel like others. Graduation taught me about experimentation with other genres and how to make anthems. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Empire” This really was the start of me putting passion and vulnerability into a record. Before this I would just rap about how good I was. This was the first time I rapped about what I care about. Still some peoples favourite record till this day.
