Zebra Katz "has been featured in the NY Times’ New Music and Fashion and Style sections, Pitchfork, Vogue, Interview Magazine, and myriad other magazines and blogs" (fb). But just in case you've missed the glory of "Ima Read" (also previously published on Gooddroid's Top 10 of 2012 ) we've decided to feature Zebra Katz on this here blog once again. "Zebra Katz is the capstone creation of 25 year old New York multidisciplinary artist Ojay Morgan. Inspired by Nina Simone, Andre 3000, Missy Elliot, James Blake, and [...]
Zebra Katz - Ima Read (ft. Njena Reddd Foxxx)
Almost definitely the last year-end list of 2012 from us, as far as we know. With honorable mentions going to the respective collected '12 works of Alberto Rossini and Shallow Rewards , check our 25 favorite videos of 2012 after the jump... click for gorilla vs. bear's videos of 2012 »
The last time that we heard from Zebra Katz was back in January when he dropped his video for "Ima Read" . Just like the sparse and thumping "Ima Read" , "W8WTF" is also barely there and makes way for echoing space and his gradually warping rhymes. The video is reminiscent of the artwork for The Weeknd 's album "House Of Balloons" , which I think I'll go and listen to again. [...]
I've been a huge and very vocal support of Azealia Banks for quite a while now, though the more she dropped new tracks the more I grew tired of her as she came across as just recycling the same old beats and rhymes. Listening to this free mixtape Fantasea , though, it kinda changes things up a little bit. Other than her Jumanji EP it's the first multi-track release she's dropped and the closest thing to a complete [...]
Low Leaf released this track today, which she wrote way back in 2007, that basically confirms her as a badass. You can read the description she wrote on it below, which dismisses any of those past feelings now, but all I have to say is that I wouldn't want to be whoever Caitlin is or represents. The vibe is along the same line as the one Zebra Katz's "Ima Read" puts off, but this one might be even more straight forward with its message. This track makes me an even bigger fan of Low Leaf, who is an artist that [...]
Listen to Njena Reddd Foxxx 's new song "Silly Bitch" below. For the crown of fiercest up-and-coming female rapper alive, Azealia Banks now has some fine competition. First appearing on our radar on Zebra Katz 's stunning, non-compliant Hip-Hop jam "Ima Read" , Njena Reddd Foxxx 's verses were one of the highlights on the track. Now she's back on her own with rattling, cannibalistic venom on "Silly [...]
This video is obviously no where near as good as the original but you can tell Zebra Katz and Njena Reddd Foxxx had some fun making this. I still think this song is going to blow up eventually, it is too good not to. Anyway, check out the video from Zebra Katz above and be on the lookout for more from him and Njena in the near future...
Niko Noir is a female rap artist from Los Angeles California with Iranian roots who contacted us through our submissions with her single "BRAkE" earlier today. We get a lot of submissions so it's hard to get a listen to all of them but I am definitely glad this one caught my eye. The track, "BRAke", is definitely going to be a bit unusual for some, but for those of you that dig tracks like Zebra Katz's "Ima Read", or anything coming out of the Raider Klan, "BRAkE" will be right up your alley. The beat is packed with eerie [...]
Mad Decent's imprint the Jeffrees surely finds the left-field talent and that's just why we dig it. Zebra Katz released his single "Ima Read" featuring Njena Reddd Foxxx about two months ago. We're not too familiar with Katz but you cannot deny the flow on the track. The almost-too-minimal sassy bravado(a) of Katz and Foxxx just pulls you in. Not to mention the crazy one-liners; "I'mma write a dissertation to excuse my shit, I'mma make an outline to the point you'll get." Then there are the dark visuals of [...]
Chilled out uptempo jam. If that makes any sense. Anyway this junt does have 'bitch' in it at least 5,204 times.
While perusing through my twitter feed today I noticed Saul Williams, who we've posted before, sent out a link of the video above. After giving the video one view I was immediately intrigued and set out to find more about Zebra Katz. I realize this is a bit experimental and may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those of you that are into it, I know after one view you will be an instant fan. The song is made up of a steady beat while Zebra Katz and Njena rhyme in a serious/threatening slo-mo vocal tone. The video [...]
swear the last few times i played this a few people have come up and asked what it is here youu gooo
Hip hop doesn't get more basic than this. But in the case of Zebra Katz (and Nejena Reddd Foxxx ) it kinda works in a sinister (albeit simultaneously amusing), slo-mo way. Check out the video for latest single, Ima Read below: Zebra Katz hails from Brooklyn and he's signed to Mad Decent records. The Ima Read Remix EP [...]
Yesterday was the first time I was exposed to this video, or any music at all from Brooklyn MC Zebra Katz. I wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but it seems to make a little more sense to me 24 hours later. Yeah, the visuals throughout this track are kinda tense. Tense in a the Shining sorta way. Yeah, it's an obvious reference due to the twins, but I think the comparison goes beyond that. Everything in the video looks somewhat normal, but something is clearly off. The lack of a climax makes [...]
Zebra katz - Ima Read from Mad Decent on Vimeo . I am not quite sure if this is the best thing ever, or the weirdest. Whatever the case may be, it is a complete trip. Zebra Kats is a Brooklyn-based act, signed to Mad Decent. This week they released the Ima Read Remix EP . Zebra Katz - Ima Read (feat. Njena Reddd Foxxx) Download audio file (1.Zebra-Katz-Ima-Read-feat.-N jena-Reddd-Foxxx.mp3)
Zebra fucking Katz put out a new video for his slightly dated track " Ima Read " featuring Njena Reddd Foxxx. That dope minimalstic bass line creeps me out and the bitch lines burn themselves into my head. Ima listen Ima listen Ima listen. Zebra Katz - Facebook Zebra Katz - Soundcloud
Zebra katz - Ima Read from Mad Decent on Vimeo . The universe is trying to tell me something. Earlier today bnease and bauce were talking about an online book club, which led me to make the above suggestion. Later in the day I noticed Azealia Banks tweeting "IMA READ IMA READ IMA READ" but I assumed she was making up her own lyrics to that Black Eyed Peas song...boy was I wrong. Well, [...]

Tweet Listen to, download , and watch the video for Zebra Katz 's song "Ima Read" ft. Njena Reddd Foxxx below. For the last few days I've been seeing Azealia Banks tweet seemingly random bits of nonsense saying "IMA READ IMA READ IMA READ" . It was all nonsense up until tonight when Chris [...]
