Marketing Plan Hip-Hop | Contemporary R&B | Nu-Jazz | World/Afrobeat Marketing Plan www.TheZYG808.com Prepared by Morgan James Peters Liberation Multimedia, LLC 260 Main St, Suite B Buzzards Bay, MA 02532 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the current phase marketing plan for The ZYG 808 is a Grammy nominated musician, composer, producer, and performer of Hip-Hop, Nu-Jazz, Contemporary R&B, and Afrobeat/World Music. A musical prodigy who has been a professional musician since age 13, The ZYG 808 has been on the rise in the east coast Hip-Hop scene since 2018 with the release of his mixtape “At The Party” on his own Soul Poets Records imprint, and introducing his signature ‘Southcoast Thump’ sound to a growing audience. WHO IS THE ZYG 808? Although The ZYG 808 is a new generation of the so-called “Afro-Punk”, musical cross-genre phenomenon. Entering the music business in hip-hop as an MC/Rapper, his goals expand beyond hip-hop and contemporary r&b, into jazz, edm,and Afrobeat/world music as a composer and producer of his own projects as well as projects for other artists of the various genres. Beginnings: The ZYG 808 (born Morgan James Peters, II) began his music career by beating on everything in the house until his grandmother bought him a drum set when he was four. By seven he had played his first studio session as a percussionist on a house music album project by his father. Studying the drums with the late Eddie Ray Johnson (former touring drummer with Wilson Pickett and Rufus Thomas), he headlined the Boston Jazz Fest at age 11. At 13 he became the percussionist for The GroovaLottos, a Grammy nominated soul-funk ensemble. Around that time he began rapping, making songs in the basement on a laptop with his cousin. With a background in jazz and a spoken-word artist and playwright for a father, lyrical prowess came rather easily to the young rapper, along with his distinctively jazzy phrasing. He also began playing the vibraphone and exploring music composition. The summer that he turned 14 he decided to busk as a summer job (playing on the street for money). His musical act consisted of him rapping and playing the drums at the same time, in Provincetown, MA, Boston, and New York City when he went to visit his mother. He made a mixtape that could be purchased as a download, made download cards and handed them out at performances. One of the people who took a card was part of the Recording Academy and nominated the young artist/entrepreneur for two Grammys in the rap category. He also made considerably more money than his friends did washing dishes and cutting lawns. 4 (FOUR) THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE ZYG 808 1) The ZYG 808’s foundation is as a trained jazz musician and composer. The ZYG 808 aspires to be the next Prince and Quincy Jones. He began studying the drums at age 10; and the vibraphone and music composition at age 14. Making beats for hip-hop music grew alongside composing scores for jazz ensembles and symphonies. His career plans include creating scores for films, television shows, and video games. 2) The ZYG 808 entered the music business by starting a label at age 14, Soul Poets Records After making music in the basement with his cousin, The ZYG 808 knew that he wanted to enter the music business. While most rappers are looking to be discovered, The ZYG 808 went about starting and branding a label, then releasing a mixtape as a”market tester”. He took the time to learn about PROs, copyrights, song registration, digital distribution, created a marketing plan for his music. 3) The ZYG 808 has been developing ‘Southcoast Thump’ as a signature sound that he is trying to establish as a regional movement in Hip-Hop. The ZYG 808 is studying audio engineering and is an assistant engineer at Polyphonic Studios, as well as a staff producer. As a producer and composer, The ZYG 808 has been experimenting with compositional and audio production techniques to develop a regional sound that incorporates the Native American, African American, Cape Verdean, and Caribbean musical influences of the region into hip-hop to create a bass-heavy brand of Hip-Hop. 4) The ZYG 808 wants to restore Hip-Hop as a tool of positivity and progress - The ZYG 808 views Hip-Hop as a cultural entity with traditions. Having joined the Universal Zulu Nation (Hip-Hops first cultural organization) in 2018, and actively involved in the NAACP and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s Youth Council, The ZYG 808 views the artist’s commitment to community development as paramount. He meteors younger, aspiring musical artists through Song Keeper, LTD’s program. ACCOMPLISHMENTS In 2018, his debut mixtape, “AT THE PARTY” received 2 Grammy nominations: “El Concerto” - Best Rap Song “The Explanation” - Best Rap Performance In 2019 he released an album, “BoOMBAPJAZz” with updated productions from the previous mixtape and jazz instrumentals featuring his vibraphone playing. Develops a following in New England and Atlanta. Song and video pulls significant streams and increases streams of previously released materials. In 2020 he released the single “THUMPIN” as a COVID summer anthem and to introduce the Southcoast Thump concept. Song and video pulls significant streams and increases streams of previously released materials. January of 2021 he began releasing songs from his mixtape, “BEAT LOUNGE NOTES” one by one with videos.

  • The Evolution of Masculinity and Mental Health Narratives in Rap Music
    Man Down: The Evolution of Masculinity and Mental Health Narratives in Rap Music Rachel Hart,[1] Department of English, University of Bristol Abstract This article explores how one of the most typically hyper-masculine cultural arenas in Britain and America has evolved over the past 30 years, as rap artists decide to reject the stoicism of toxic masculinity in favour of promoting healthier conversations surrounding men’s mental health and associated coping mechanisms. Though rap has always been vocal about mental distress, its dominant narratives have evolved over the past 30 years to talk more specifically and positively about mental health issues. Over time rap has begun promoting therapy, medication, self-care and treatment, rather than self-medication via drugs and alcohol, or violence against the self or others. This is symbiotically informing and being informed by society’s changing ideas about masculinity and the construct of gender. In order to explore the evolution in discussions around men’s mental health from the 1990s to the present day, this article is split into three sections, each focusing on a different decade. I closely analyse the lyrics of one rap song in each chapter, which has been selected to represent rap’s general trends regarding discussions of mental health from that decade. I also briefly explore other songs that prove the decade’s trends. This article draws upon academic research as well as personal interviews undertaken with Solomon OB (2016’s National Poetry Slam champion), and Elias Williams, founder of MANDEM.com (an online media platform engaging with social issues and shining a light on young men of colour).

  • MODERN MUSIC Notable Figures in Hip-Hop History
    MODERN MUSIC Notable figures in Hip-Hop history Seif Amer 8th December 2018 Abstract This article summarizes the impacts and accomplishments of four ofthe most influencial artists in the history of hip-hop music. Starting with N.W.A and how they took gangster rap to the mainstream level. Followed by Eminem, who made his way to the top with his own style of fast paced, aggressive rap. Tupac Shakur, and his influence on the youth and the next generation of rappers. Lastly, Kanye West, and his innovation the sound of hip-hop with his integration of other genres and relatable substance. Contents Contents i List of Figures ii 1 N.W.A. 1 2 EMINEM 1 3 TUPAC SHAKUR 2 4 KANYE WEST 2 T ....................................... 4 J ....................................... 4 E ....................................... 4 i List of Figures ii 1 N.W.A. Hip-Hop as a genre as been criticized heavily over the last two to three decades since its rise in the early 90’s. It is often described as a genre of inappropriate, violent, provocative music that while it may be appealing sonically, has a violent, uncensored style that is considered by many to be a bad influence or disturbing to youth. (Edmondson, 2008) The earliest rendition of this style that quickly comes to mind for most would be N.W.A, featuring stars such as Ice Cube, Eazy E, and Dr. Dre, who remain big names in the industry to this day. N.W.A. stirred plenty if controversy with so much as their group name (Ni***z Wit Attitudes) as they rose to fame with the release of their 1988 debut album Straight Outta Compton.
