Establishing the mood with the words, “It’s just different” and a catchy whistle tone, with the sound of a bed squeaking, Zendoro opens Who Ya Know with a dimensional bass line and the assertive lyrics, “Yeah, it’s time, let me go ahead and take a minute, everyone here’s telling me that Imma just kill it, Imma do this shit, Imma put my soul in it…”
The opus expands into a vibrant, dimensional and genre expansive soundscape as Zendoro delivers poetic prowess with his prose and a luscious vocal timbre.
Who Ya Know follows the release of his comeback single, All I Ever Wanted, and we learn that the New Jersey native teamed up with producer Epik the Dawn for the bop. We appreciate how catchy Who Ya Know is and the authenticity and empowering energy that Zendoro shares with his artistry.
Zenodro, also known as artist Nelson Alejandro Ordoñez is a New York City-born rapper and song-writer who was raised in New Jersey. He cites sonic influences ranging from hip-hop, pop, jazz, rock, bachata, and diving into his Colombian roots, cumbia, as well as artists including Eminem, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, The Beatles, and Kid Cudi, although it is clear that Zenodro is creating a universe of his own.
We love his fierce flow and self-realized prose, and the minimalist vibe of the composition really allows Zenodro‘s voice to shine. Who Ya Know has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Zenodro‘s wider discography including All I Ever Wanted and On a Roll.
