Zay Goku Big City Up Next

🔥 Zay Goku: Finding His Voice, and Making It Loud

Zay Goku didn’t plan on becoming a music artist. In fact, he almost left it all behind before it started. But sometimes, the people around us see our potential before we do.

“It started back in school. Me and my friends would rap, and one of them told me to lock in… I didn’t think it was for me, but here I am now — hitting the studio and making it happen.”

Born in Puerto Rico but raised in the Bronx, Zay Goku’s music reflects both his upbringing and the rawness of experience. His lyrics are shaped by what he’s seen, what he’s lived, and what he refuses to hold back.

💥 Influenced by the Drill Scene

Zay’s sound is straight from the street — inspired by some of the biggest names in drill rap, including Dudey Lo, Bloodie, Kenzo Balla, and more. These influences gave his style an edge, but his voice and perspective give it soul.

You can hear the Bronx in his tone, feel the hunger in his bars, and sense the growth with each drop.

🚧 Breaking Out of the Bubble

For many underground artists, recognition is the first wall they hit. For Zay, it was no different.

“The challenge I faced was getting recognized — so I had to network hard, with friends and people outside of my bubble.”

Now, that grind is paying off. Whether it’s in a pro studio or home setup, Zay is focused on pushing through, building up a name, and making sure his message reaches the right ears.

🗣️ Say What You Feel — No Holding Back

Zay Goku doesn’t make surface-level music. He’s not here to be quiet, and he’s not trying to make you comfortable. His art is a call to speak up, especially for those who feel unheard.

“What I want people to feel in my music is: don’t hold back. Say what you need to say — male or female, speak your truth.”

That sense of realness is exactly what’s helping him cut through the noise.

🚀 What’s Next for Zay Goku?

There’s no slowing down. Zay is locked in on dropping more EPs, recording more songs, grinding harder, and getting to the bag.

“More EPs. More songs. More grinding. And getting this money.”

His momentum is only building, and his work ethic is matching the hunger.

🏆 Song Wars Winner

For his first-ever appearance in Artist Outlook’s Song Wars, Zay came in nervous but ready — and walked away a winner. That moment, he says, gave him both validation and confidence. And now, he’s just getting started.
