“The Hip Hop Juggernaut”
Once every thousand years, our world is blessed with an individual who possesses “great power” to reform! This year the world will experience this great power in the form of @zim (ah’-zeem)!
Born Scott Whitfield in Flushing, New York, @zim was the younger of his mother’s two boys. @zim’s brother took on then responsibility of being the male role model in the house. Being 10 years older then @zim he did every thing he could to mold @zim in to a man that would be aware of his environment and the changes that were needed to revitalize it. @zim’s mother worked long days to provide for her family and instilled a work ethic; a motivation in her son’s to survive the quoted ghetto, the struggle! @zim began doing odd jobs around the neighborhood at an early age and completed his first song at age 9. “In the ghetto every one has to grow up fast.” @zim found this out first hand when in 1996 his brother was stolen from his family by a street tragedy.
@zim realizing that he had to make things better for his mother became even more determine. He lets his songs speak on his pain, his struggle, his environment. @zim has astonished audiences through out the United States. He has performed at the BET “Free for Life Foundation” and “The Tommy Hilfiger Mix Tape” release party just to name a few. @zim has given electrifying performances with such industry icons as “Black Rob”, “Pharaoh Monch”, “Miri Ben-Ari” and the legendary “Nas”. @zim has appeared on mix tapes around New York City. He has head lined street mix tapes like the Mad Ones ‘Fight Club’ mix tape, where hip hop greats like “Busta Rhymes”, “Missy Elliot”, and “Joe Buddens” and “50 Cent” have been placed after him. Although @zim produces many of his on tracks this multi talented artist has done a lot of work with some of the top producers in the industry. @zim writes all of his lyrics and has done ghost writing for many aspiring artist.
@zim’s current demo contains club hits like “It’s Over” and “Here for a Minute” along with the street anthem “Get your Mo Jo Up”! These are three of the 20 plus tracks on that same demo which is softly titled ‘today the streets, tomorrow the world!’ @zim’s freestyles are already receiving heavy rotation on mix tapes across the city and with labels wanting to know, to understand what an artist is bringing to the table one has no choice but to notice the voice that will change the industry and set the new standard of what an artist must have to appeal to the people across the globe today and for the years to come.
