Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I’m FatT ZakK. I am co-owner and lead artist of PigPen Productions. Father of 2 and dedicated hip-hop artist. I’ve been doing hip-hop 14 years and have grown up in the rock/metal scene watching my cousins and uncles and even my parents struggling to get heard by someone. while they work 40 hours a week to keep me fed and dressed.
Where are you located?
I am currently located in Bay City, MI
What’s your sound? Who does your sound relate to?
If it wasn’t for me growing up listening to artists like Big L GangStarr, King Gordy, Esham, Tech N9ne, Ice Cube, and Tupac- I’d probably be just as whack as the other commercial artists out here. But I don’t like to compare myself to another artist. They influenced my style and my lyricism a lot but I don’t just do 1 style of hip-hop.
Who/What inspires you?
My biggest inspirations are honestly my kids and all these garbage rappers that are plastered all over teenagers walls.
You’re trapped in a small room; your life depends on one dope track. Who do you work with?
As an artist- I’d have to say my boy White and as a producer/engineer- definitely legion beats or Kato
What’s your plan with the 10k?
10k.. well that’s the down payment for my house and I can upgrade my studio equipment finally! Anything left after a roof is in place and were settled, is gonna buy my sons whatever they want!!
