Czar Zuta is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. The artist and entrepreneur released an album on Easter titled Killers Hide In Suburbia. The album has takes you through a time in Zuta’s life where his limits and perception were being tested by the pandemic and all that came with it.

A stand-out track on the project is “Upside Down Freestyle” which was produced by May You Know Love (MYKL); the track was influenced by the pandemic and the very real nature of everything feeling overwhelming at the time. Zuta used the experience to channel his perspective in that time to bring forth a sonic soliloquy. The Northside Chicago native is busy on all fronts, he raps, produces, and also co-owns a digital media company with Michael Underwood b.k.a Basco D’Magnifico called Genuine & Supreme Entertainment. 

Genuine & Supreme Entertainment work with artists such as DoughSo, MYKL, & Asidic. Zuta aesthetically draws inspiration from Alternative Punk Rock, Reggae & 90s hip-hop as well as anime & horror films; and is musically inspired by 2Pac, Nipsey Hussle, Jay-Z, Master P, J. Cole & Curren$y. Czar Zuta is already working on another project set to be released sometime this year titled The Mankind Behind Mick Foley. Stay tuned!

Explain who you are for those who may not know
I’d consider myself as a producer, engineer and singer/songwriter going by the name of aivin. Growing up in Austria/Europe I’m now located in a city called Graz and doing music independently.   

How long have you been doing music?
I fell in love with music when I was little as my father always listened to a lot of music. But growing up as a teenager I was more into sports.  When I started learning how to play the guitar I was 18 years old – by watching Youtube tutorials. Since then I taught myself to produce and record myself and made music my priority over the past 7 years. 

What inspires you when creating a song?
For me I’d say past experiences, the visualization of the life I want to grow into and the vibes of the musical part are having the most influence when creating a song.  As I like to speak in metaphors and to speak things into existence, my music is always related to some parts of my life – past, present and future. 

You have many talents. What’s your fav skill?
Considering all my talents I would say my fav skill is to keep my mind and soul healthy. Focusing on daily progress and keeping a positive, healthy mindset is helping me manifest my own reality more and more.

How did you come up with the idea of ALIEN POWER TOOLS?
The whole Alien Power Tools EP originated during the start of the pandemic last year when I reached out to the UK producer Staticbeatz for collaborating on a project. He produced the musical part on the whole EP with co producers Nozad11 from Germany and Cammuzik from the UK. In this time period I focused a lot on my mental state of mind and spiritual growth, which reflects in the songs. To me the EP means that your mind can reach out for the farthest parts of the universe whilst still being physically bound to one place.   

What is your favorite song on the EP?
Honestly I don’t have a favorite song on the EP because I really like all of them and see them connected as a whole. 
That’s why I would recommend everyone to listen from start to finish.

What is next for you?
There is a lot of music finished, I can guarantee more projects to be released this year – stay tuned. 

Anything else you’d like to say?
To the people who are listening to my music I want to say – thank you for being part of the journey. Let’s see where it takes us – we are aiming for the galaxy.

Zig Luve is an artist from New Jersey and is heating up with new music and new visual dropping consistently. His most recent visual is titled “Luve & Drugs The Movie” which is a beautiful blend of three tracks from his debut EP Luve & Drugs. In the video, Zig is with his girl having a chill vibe. The music plays as the visual edits and aesthetic of the video draw in the viewer. The glitches in the video bring out the eccentrics of the lyrics, allowing Zig to add deeper elements to the tracks.

He shares the message and meaning behind the project stating, “I wanted to take the time to create a sound that reminded me of a calm & relaxing vibe, while still displaying lyrical ability in cohesiveness with the overall theme”, Zig shares. “Luve & Drugs embodies the fact that we’re all addicted to something, but the one thing we all NEED is luve”. This is a concept that we all can relate to. Making this project one that will touch the listener
Zig Luve is extremely talented and this is only the beginning. Creatively he combines his image, lyrics, and personality into his work. The lead single for the project “San Jose”, has a hidden meaning tied to The San Jose Sharks. “I’ll leave the explanation in the air of ambiguity & interpretation because I enjoy when listeners take the time to understand the meaning between the lines,” Zig says This is an artist to look out for, more music and content coming from Zig Luve. Stay tuned in and supportive of his journey.

Starting his career in entertainment as a standout basketball star for his local high school, Jack Skrzypiec has decided to take an alternate route from the NCAA/NBA circuit. Having multiple opportunities to play basketball at the next level, Jack opted to take “the road less traveled” into the “hush-hush” music business. Taking business classes and playing on the basketball team, he would only last a few months at the local Rhode Island college he was attending. After doing some critical thinking and assessing his options Jack decided to start on his own journey into the industry and began managing a few local music artists shortly thereafter. As time went on and although he continued to focus on his artists he felt like he needed to garner a larger reach within the music industry to bring his ideas of development to more eyes. During his time seeking new opportunities Jack sent out a “Cold DM” to Logan, the CEO of Untitledexport Management, expressing his ideas and goals and the two of them hit it off immediately and began working on the next phases. Untitledexport Management is a full service marketing and artist development agency located in New Jersey. Jack ultimately decided going into this industry’s work-force in a full time capacity would give him an edge on others in his age bracket.

As soon as he joined Untitledexport’s fastly growing team, Jack found a key role in helping manage/develop the artists signed to the agency. Fast forward to now, Jack Skrzypiec is the Head Talent Agent for Untitledexport Management. Working individually with 50+ artists on a daily basis. Jack looks to provide underground artists with the key foundational pieces they need to be successful. Being an artist nowadays is not easy, there are multiple components to it, which Jack looks to offer support with. Processes like claiming digital royalties, building on artist’s search engine optimization, and teaching artists how to function like a business, are just a few of theareas Jack specializes in.

We asked Jack what his biggest accomplishment to date is and he said; “My greatest accomplishment is the way I have impacted the lives of hundreds of up and coming artists. Using my resources and knowledge of the industry, I have been able to teach musical artists of all genres the proper way to look credible online and also start generating more engagement across their social media profiles. Not only have I been able to teach many artists how to better their game, I have also built long lasting relationships with many artists along the way. Conducting business in an honest and customer service oriented way with Untitledexport Management has made all the difference to me”
Jack looks to reach even more artists moving forward as he continues to rise within the ranks of the industry and continue his hard work and dedication towards his clients
