Though dwelling in NYC nowadays, emcee Zach Kyle pays homage to his New Jersey upbringing on new single.  “Da Burbz” is a jazzy cloud-like dose of boom-bap/chill-hop with Kyle reminiscing of the days of his youth, small-town hijinks, experiences and experimentation.  As he says of the track “I just want to represent the culture I come from.  I’ve done a lot of cool city stuff but this track is for all the kids I grew up with.  Suburban Hip Hop is a very real and beautiful thing I think.  I wouldn’t mind being the face of it.”

Last fall Zach Kyle released the #SWAG LP which had a spiritual predecessor to “Da Burbz” in single “Nostalgia” (produced by Ray Janes) that also was inspired by his experiences growing up and summer camp as black in a mostly white environment.

Though barely out of his teens, Zach Kyle has extensive first-hand history with hip-hop partly due to proximity to his father, DJ Jay-Ef whose creative friends include Masta Ace, Wordsworth & Planet Asia.  Over the past few years Kyle has been prolific releasing two previous albums, Autonomy and Shangri-La as well as several EP’s and numerous singles.
