Straight out of Stockton, California, YTB ZAI is making his mark with a raw, unfiltered style he calls trap art—a gritty fusion of trap music and ghetto gospel. After just three years in the game, ZAI is already proving he’s a force to watch. His recently released debut album, Life of a Hotboy: 500 Degreez, tells his story with unmatched authenticity, inspired by artists like Bankroll Fresh, MO3, Young Jr., and JBlacc.
Signed under Pure Business for management and backed by Trife Money Family ENT, YTB ZAI is blazing a trail independently, dropping music that reflects his real-life struggles and street-earned wisdom. From collaborating with talents like 808Blakk, Dommyddablaccsheep, and OTRBenji, to getting production heat from TMF Rex and Zaytoven’s A&R team, ZAI keeps his vision tight and the quality high.
When he’s not writing his own material or shaping his own music video concepts, he’s staying focused on building something bigger than rap. Whether it’s performing at festivals during NBA All-Star Weekend or plotting his next release, YTB ZAI is letting his work cook like stew—slow, seasoned, and strong.
Currently working on his next mixtape, G-Baby: Hardball, he’s hungry for more. He’s got his eyes set on New York stages, nationwide tours, and one day owning his own plaza. With unwavering support from his family, hometown dispensaries like HomeGrownMoney, and his entire TMF and Pure Business family, YTB ZAI isn’t just creating music—he’s building a legacy.
