Gold Medal (feat. Mirage & KaiZen)

There are many reasons to be afraid of the dark. . .here's another one!

Thank you all for listening or even taking a peek at what we doing over here.  This is just a sample of what I like to do in my free time.  You can also get a feel for the type of music I listen to, what inspires me and even what brings me down.  It's all in here, but at the end of the day, this is just a night in the life.  

I've been through a lot since NOT ENOUGH, but what doesn't kill me -- only makes me hungrier.

They thought I was dead. . .well no, not exactly....

See ya. . . . soon!

WELCOME TO FRIGHT NIGHT. . . .for real!

My Hoez They Do Drugs featuring Juicy J & Pusha T (Produced by DJ Pain1)

A student and teacher of the culture, KaiZen is a bonafide worldwide hustler.

Born and raised in Texas (Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, Austin), but lived on both coast for a minute. Zen lived in LA in the early 90s and moved to the east coast just before Biggie blew up. Both coasts heavily influenced him growing up and inspired him to start rhyming.

Now residing in Austin, TX for work, he's worked with several artists/hustlers including Scrooge McBuckz, O.C, Bluu Suede, Anya Smith, Casino, J Ash Muzik, George Pettus, DJ ILL WILL, JIM-E-O, Killa Kyleon, Shawn Don Winston, Rick Mo 512, Kiki Star, MarqyDe, Young Triga, Tony Dinero, King SoloTX, Jake B Nimble Rodriguez, Andy Valley & Micki Gram (Millionaire Mindset), Jon Keyz, MIRAGE, Arson Optics, MADGODS, Young Nick, Element 7D, POP Rhymes, DJ Knowledge, DJ I Wanna Be Her, DJ Kid Slyce, Bryte Blaq, The Capital Cipher, Nook, Keep It Local, Table Manners Crew, Complete Clothing, Nice Kicks, Word Power, Ploy Productions, Xanadu Studios, Square Business, Soul Sound Labs and Interscope Records.

A Wake Forest graduate Zen's music covers all sorts of topics from money, cannabis culture, religion, street life, politics, the plight of black men in America (I think Biggie coined it, "The Struggle") and even love. Believe me it's all relative and he's experienced the good, bad, ugly and the beautiful.

In October 2011, Zen released his first full scale mixtape, "NOT ENOUGH (still hungry)" mixed by Scrooge McBuckz. The tape featured several original joints and many local Austin artists. The project was very well received and can be downloaded for free at datpiff.com (http://www.datpiff.com/KaiZen-NOT-ENOUGH-Still-Hungry-mixtape.275130.html)

In November 2011, Zen was selected to appear in a documentary called "FEEL RICH" powered by the legendary forty-time platinum, multi-Grammy and Emmy Award winning producer, and digital guru Quincy Jones III (QD3) along with hip-hop greats such as Phife Dog, Fat Joe, P. Diddy, Slim Thugg, Paul Wall, The Game and others. Also, the entire soundtrack as well as the title track for the documentary was produced by Scrooge McBuckz and O.C of Fresh Hustle and mixed by Bluu Suede of The Cleaners. (view trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jBNPruZbiM&context=C22025ADOEgsToPDskJlDzEqmEPYr513phI-iIRQ)

Zen is currently releasing tracks off his new mixtape, "Fright Night". The follow up solo album, "The Twilight Zone" - will be released date (TBD).

Zen resides in Austin, TX and is a founding member of Fresh Hustle Entertainment, a production, marketing and fashion consulting company. 

He also works at the Dub Academy Recording Studio as an engineer, songwriter and producer.
