#68: Zaytoven

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome Grammy Award-winning producer, and Gucci Mane's closest collaborator, Zaytoven to the Upper West Side! Zay talks his journey from Germany to San Diego to Oakland and eventually Atlanta, where he made a name for himself working with everyone from Gucci to Nicki to Usher to Fall Out Boy. We discuss his new project with OJ da Juiceman, his learning curve as a barber, playing in marching band, and going to church (where he still plays the organ every weekend). All that, plus how producers in Atlanta get along, how his parents reacted when recording sessions in their basement would go late into the night, and what it's like to hear your music played in a basketball arena!
