Hip Hop from Zoot

Hailing from the city of Atlanta, Zoot is a Persian born rapper, producer and songwriter who’s been making waves in the Georgia hip hop scene and beyond. Initially starting his musical journey at age five when he started learning the flute, he picked up the xylophone at seven and progressed to the Iranian santoor by the time he was nine.

With his passion for music instilled in him from a very early age, he left the limited freedom in Iran and moved to the USA as a teenager where he started recording on his iPhone. Developing his sound and talent as an artist over the following years, he made an impact with his track “+” with SoFaygo and his self-titled mixtapes Zoot with Donny Bravo!, BHM Zone and other members of the 112 Records roster.

Influenced by modern Western artists the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, The Weeknd, Eminem and Kanye, as well as Persian acts such as Behzad Leito, Zedbazi and Hichkas, he creates his own unique hip hop sound that combines classic melodies with contemporary writing. Last year the artist created music at an astonishing rate, dropping a new single and music video every other week.

Recently he released a new single titled “Fuck The Money”, an energetic rap cut that fuses old school hip hop vibes with today’s modern sonic aesthetic. Full of snapping beats and hard-hitting vocal delivery, with “Fuck The Money” Zoot lays down another punchy hip hop outing that demonstrates his talents as a vocalist, writer and producer.
