In the two years following his grand introduction on 2020`s Chrome, Zinoleesky saw his star power rise thanks to a street-inspired lyrical style that explored the contrast of his weighty ambitions and the extenuating circumstances of his birth. On 2022`s Grit & Lust, Zinoleesky confirms himself as a transcendent star via the power of his storytelling and witty observations.
“Personal” is an audacious hustler`s anthem that addresses online trolls and his super-sized dreams, while “Yan Yan Yan,” a hypnotic blend of log drums and prickly horns, finds Zinoleesky bigging up himself. As with everything Zinoleesky, the true clincher on Grit & Lust is how he keeps finding nimble pockets to microcosmically express elation, angst, and acceptance that are alien to the de rigeur of street pop, as he does poignantly on the Ayra Starr-assisted “Many Roads.”
