Zealous' Relics

A chill guitar loop I laid down with some uber funky drums with several layers, accompanied by a monster bassline and some lyrics from yours truly.  I hope you enjoy this one, I sure did.  Z.

Beats And Strings

Dope little jam with some serious and fire and seriously fire content, relating to the artists' struggle to find authenticity in a world full of fake shit, snakes, thieves, and biters.  One of my favorites as of late....I hope you enjoy.

BELIEVE ME

Something special and brand new with a fierce and magic message of hope created by Zealous (Will Hendren) and Paranormal One (Adam Garrett).  This track focuses on the reunion of mankind (and womankind) with our sacred Mother Earth, and learning to stop the snakes that exploit her and ravage her on a daily basis for corporate profit internationally and even locally.  Go green, do right by mama earth, as we all owe our lives and being's to her specifically.   Bests, Enjoy the track.  William Hendren aka Zealous.

"HEY NEIGHBOR"

The concept of MindViews is improvisational emotional ambient modular creations recorded straight to tape with zero editing and zero computer use. Musical thoughts and views into my mind. These are recorded in one take and the arrangements are done on the fly! Embracing risk, vulnerability and happy mistakes 🙂 These are not polished and def are not perfect but honestly that is what is beautiful about it. I hope you enjoy ❤️

From Matt Jalbert of TAUK on the TAUK Moore release -

“When we first reached out to Kanika about the potential of working together, the idea was to meet up in New York at our studio and work on a song or two. No pressure, just get together and see what happens. What happened was there was an instant spark and we wrote a bunch of songs over the course of a few days. TAUK has been a band for over ten years so it was so exciting to experience how natural it was having Kanika jump into the mix. It really is a collaboration where the band is staying true to itself and Kanika is bringing her own thing but there’s a blend that works. This collection of songs stems from that initial meet up and feels like a jumping off point to see where else we can take it from here.”

Wise words on this track. We are all connected. The flute on this track was played by myself. Thank you, Kana W. for letting me borrow your flutes to use on a few of my songs. Much appreciated my brotha.

SPREP018-A Kial x Max Mischief - No Escapin

Something fresh that came together using mostly vocal sounds and textures, and a phat bass line to back it.  Derived from a blues tune written by Zealous on Bass, this joint captures some ill new styles Z has been working with and now features a trippy outro solo and guitar work from Peter Clevenger.  Still a "rough," technically, but coming along like a finished project.  Enjoy. Z-Team.

CONTROL-Z is a psychedelic funk-hiphop eight-piece from Sacramento CA organized by veteran emcee and front man, emcee Zealous.  Once likened to a "cross between Rage, The Red Hot Chilly Peppers, and Atmosphere," CONTROL-Z combines nasty bass grooves, banging drum rhythms, ripping guitar parts, a stellar horn section, stunning melodies, dope turntablism from DJ Zeyphr, and moving improvisation into an unforgettable live performance.  BOOK US TODAY -- (916)919-3628.

Zealous is a creator from Davis CA who focuses primarily on hiphop, funk, soul, and collaborative compositions.  Founder of "SPeak LOUD Productions" Z operates out of a small studio called the creation station in his dirty garage in Davis CA.  All jokes aside, the music is pretty fire, and all original artists and local compositions.  Check out the tunes, drop a comment, hit me up for collaborations and/or studio time.  Sincerely, Zealous.
