Zona
Man, born Terrance George, is elevating from the city of Chicago, where
he was born and raised, with his new mix tape “No Advance.” Taking his
first steps of existence in the Robert Taylor public housing projects
then later relocating to East side of Chicago- where he currently
resides. Zona Man is from humble beginnings, manipulating many paths
& driving several lanes in life- Zona found himself in a web of
unpleasant encounters. Being a young black man on the streets of Chicago
is an unrelenting place and Zona found himself at a point of no return,
until he was forced to turn his life around. In 2008 Zona Man was shot
by a Chicago Police Department officer and falsely charged and tried.
Subsequently the charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence. Zona
utilized these accusations & time away as state property to
recalculate how he’d maneuver his walk with life. In spite of the fact
that he hadn’t continued on with a formal education, he still found ways
to illuminate his mind & optimistically self motivate. Keeping the
negative energy of the streets to the left, Zona was destined to take
that right road life offered. He decided to conform to a more favorable
life to ensure his longevity and protect his livelihood for his children
& family.
Zona
Man always had a passion for music & poetics; merging the two- he
tapped into his God given talent & musically began to destroy life’s
demons. Zona took this second chance at life and forged full force
ahead, focusing & channeling all energy into his music which he
describes as “hustle/inspiration music”. He got back into the studio in
2013 and his hard work led him to working with top producers such as:
Metro Boomin, Jazzy Pha, Young Chop, Southside 808 Mafia to name a few.
In 2014 Zona Man was featured on the “Honest Tour” with rap super star
Future– who discovered his music through Sound Cloud; he was also
featured on Future’s new mixtape “Gangland” as well as the Bigga Rankin
Coast to Coast tour. He is currently working on multiple projects
including; his mixtape “No Advance” and “Kidnapping for Beats” where in
his words he is “going Zona on some of the hottest industry beats out.”
Writing to mock his wrongs, make an example out if it in song,
ultimately putting his city- Chicago on his back. Making it a part of
his load to carry, divide, & conquer.
