Melbourne-based hip-hop artist Jay Zayat has unleashed his seventh single of the year, a hard-hitting track titled 'pray4peace'. The song, a sonic blend of Cash Cobain's raw energy and Nemzzz's sharp lyricism, showcases Zayat's signature intricate wordplay and tongue-in-cheek punchlines over a backdrop of booming drums and stomps.
'pray4peace' dives into Zayat's personal struggles, painting a vivid picture of his tumultuous upbringing, financial hardships, and the duality of life he's witnessed firsthand. He doesn't shy away from sharing the darker aspects of his past, incorporating the same soulful sample from J. Cole's "January 28th" to add another layer of depth and resonance to his own narrative.
"This track is a reflection of my journey," Zayat explains. "It's about the challenges I've faced, the lessons I've learned, and the hope I hold onto for a better future."
With previous support from Triple J, a memorable performance at the Melbourne Showgrounds in 2023, and a debut charting single under his belt, Zayat is poised for a breakout year. His unique sound, captivating storytelling, and undeniable talent have garnered him a dedicated following, and 'pray4peace' is sure to solidify his position as a rising star in the Australian hip-hop scene.
The song's infectious energy, combined with Zayat's introspective lyrics and gritty delivery, creates a powerful listening experience that resonates long after the final beat. 'pray4peace' is more than just a single; it's a testament to Zayat's resilience, his unwavering spirit, and his ability to transform personal struggles into compelling art.
