Kodak Black, Travis Scott & Offset’s “ZEZE” Explained | Song Stories

When fans listen to Kodak Black’s new single “ZEZE” with Offset and Travis Scott, it’s likely that they’ll already recognize the song’s opening instrumentation. Although the track is new, “ZEZE” has already been through the meme cycle thanks to a short video Kodak posted early last month and now, the full D.A. Doman-produced track has arrived. Featuring steel drum instrumentation and island-themed cover art, “ZEZE” finds the trio of rappers celebrating the finer things in life.

[Versaucey]

Every time I hear this beat I always picture all of them dancing in the studio.

[pallaslol]

Man with that beat I thought the song was gonna slap

[MrAmazing]

Song coulda been harder. Wasn’t bad tho

[lucaccb]

*Ice Water Turned Atlantic, Nightcrawlin in a phantom (skrrt skrrt)*

[gagiugrekhelidze]

when Tyga kinda raps on the ZEZE beat at 1:36, it was better than everything Kodak did on that song lmao

[SHABEATS]

Drugs and flexing with cash. Nothing too special to explain. Genius should concentrate on lyrics which really have some meaning.

[ShayBurgman]

I learned absolutely nothing from this. This explained nothing.

[LilBoInnaCut]

Kodak the first rapper on here to explain lyrics that ain’t broke

[scottfarrell]

You forgot to mention Travis actually had a double entendre. Travis has a song called “Nightcrawler” (it’s a banger) so “Nightcrawlin in the Phantom” has two meanings

[jefferycoleman]

The zeze is a stringed instrument from Sub-Saharan Africa. It is also known by the names tzetze and dzendze, and, in Madagascar, is called lokanga voatavo or lokango voatavo. It has one or two strings, made of steel or bicycle brake wire

[ojibwaa]

Them dancing on the studio to the first 5 seconds of the song will be memorized for years to come

[blaneries]

Ok genius stop explaining simple ass songs it’s not that complicated

[ArDeeNY]

Song is definitely hard, but I’m waiting to see what these remixes sound like

[thebeermaster]

She looks so enthusiastic to be breaking down this "gem" of a track

[stefanmitrovic]

*This guy who make beat for this and taste will blow up like Murda and TayKeith🔥*

[brutalityz]

Im dead the way she tryna hit that kodak dance 😂

[sincerelyface]

nobody cares tho because everyone just listens to the instrumental

[Sanosized]

Why didn't I get a notification for this?

[laythrebhi]

Finally an explanation for kodak's verse

[moritzgtr]
