KONATA SMALL & ZAYDE WØLF RELEASE
“RUN THIS TOWN”
“ZAYDE WØLF has slowly but surely started to take over the world.” - Alternative Addiction
LISTEN TO “RUN THIS TOWN”: HERE
Alt Rock chart topper Zayde Wølf has teamed up with hip hop artist Konata Small for the release of the epic new track “Run This Town.” “Producer Al Cres had this dope sampled guitar riff and this rad jungle rhythm that felt so sick together,” says Dustin Burnett (aka Zayde Wølf). Then I heard this shouty group vocal chant followed by some nasty lines Konata had written. At that point I knew I had to find a way to sing on the track. The guys let me rework the chorus a little and help square up some additional production.”
“Perhaps the perfect description of ZAYDE is simply the dark rock child of Imagine Dragons and The Black Keys.” - Ones to Watch
“ZAYDE WØLF is unconventional, in every sense of the word. Scrawling a poetic lyric on a massive pop-rock wall of sound--hinting at Imagine Dragons and Bastille influence.” - Pop Dust
Konata Small has been on his grind for the better part of a decade. As a member of acclaimed hip-hop trio Rhema Soul, he toured the world, became a regular presence on the national conference circuit, and released five lauded albums. His music has been featured on Netflix, HBO, Showtime MTV, and many others. On his debut project Est. 1997, Konata proved once again that he is a force. Featuring masterful production by Al Cres (Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, BEAM) that spans the gamut of boom bap and trap soul, Konata is at his best and most self-actualize. He knows who he is and where he is going.
“Run this Town” is ripe for our times. “ Identity is everything, “ says Konata, “you must know who you are to make a lasting impact. We must decide to take control of our future in spite of stereotypes, agendas, and obstacles. We’re gonna RUN this town.“
With ZAYDE WØLF, Burnett has built a reputation for music that inspires, motivates and most importantly connects. His latest full-length album Modern Alchemy charted in over 25 countries on the iTunes overall charts and debuted in the top ten Alternative charts here in the U.S. Since he started releasing music just a few short years ago, the ZAYDE WØLF has grown to 217K YouTube subscribers, 70 million views, and his music has been streamed over 30 million times. His musical success has led to placements in hundreds of films, TV shows, trailers, commercials, and video games. The list includes Shameless, Skyscraper movie, Love-Simon movie, the Jack Reacher 2, The Maze Runner 3, Pride Prejudice & Zombies, spots for UFC, MLB, NFL, Dodge, Jeep, WWE, Xbox, NBA, and more. Burnett has also creatively expanded his reach by cultivating relationships with partners such as Dude Perfect, one of the top YouTube sports channels with over 40 Million subscribers and 7 Billion views. "I get all these emails, sometimes one a week,” Burnett told Billboard, “with all these stories about how the music has moved people in some way. I wanted to continue to make music for people to be inspired by." Most recently Burnett has been getting notes about how his music has been a beacon of light shining through the heavy cloud of uncertainty the world finds itself in. “Your songs are pure power, and are helping this immunocompromised family navigate such strange times, and to appreciate what's important,” read an email that came in from Australia. “We are all definitely living life like we never have....”
