Cold day in Cleveland… so what better way to manifest summer than dropping my new song “Manifest Summer” ☀️ I made this one after writing a lot of heavier music—I needed something fun, light, and meant to lift the mood instantly Whether you’re dreaming about summer or you’re laying on the beach in the hot sun… this one’s for you. “Manifest Summer” is officially out everywhere you stream music! Run it up, share it, tell a friend—I’d love to see this one take on a life of its own. 🎤 ZuP 🎹 Produced by @chrisdicolamusic 🎙️ Recorded by @chrisdicolamusic at @signalflowstudios 🎚️ Mixed by (Grammy Award-winning) @bradpuette 😉 💿 Distributed by @distrokid 🖼️ Cover art by @skyezultankyart Guest vocals: @jaderingmusic @kitcat216 Scratches: @rc3_cle #ManifestSummer #NewMusicFriday #IndieArtist #SummerVibes #NowPlaying

My new EP: “Remedies for Busy Bees” is out now 🐝 4 songs. 9 minutes. A quick fix for people constantly on the move. Lately, I’ve been looking at my life and music through a different lens. Instead of chasing monthly singles with features, I wanted to create something with a clear intention — a project with a thread. The truth is, we’re all busy. Overwhelmed. Pulled in a hundred directions. Take 9 minutes. Plug in. Tune out. Let it be your remedy. I hope you love it! Let me know what you think in the comments! I’ll have a few prints of the EPs artwork at my birthday show next week! I can’t wait to perform some of these for you! 👂listen: anywhere you stream music “Turning” 🎹 produced by myself and Chris DiCola “Days Like This” 🎹 produced by Chris DiCola 🎧 scratching by RC3 “Diluted” 🎹 produced by myself and Chris DiCola “Mortality” 🎹 produced by Phenom 🎙️ all songs recorded by Chris DiCola at Signal Flow Studios 🎚️🎛️ all songs mixed by Brad Puette 💿 distributed by DistroKid 🖤 Link in bio. #RemediesForBusyBees #NewEP #ZuP #NowStreaming #AlternativeHipHop #IndieArtist

Well… this is a hard one. When someone passes away you always hear phrases being tossed around like, “they were one of the best” or “there was nobody like them”... I don’t consider myself a “lucky” guy by definition, but a little less than 15 years ago I was lucky enough to meet a fellow musician that would quickly become one of my best friends and would change my life for the better. Vince Veeno Veverka was one of the best and I promise you there was nobody like him. When he first got diagnosed with cancer, he got us all together and told us AFTER THE FACT. He was like, “so they found cancer, they already got rid of it, and I’m gonna start treatment, just wanted to fill you in” and we were like, “uhhh you had cancer?!?!” lol not only did he have cancer BUT my man kicked cancer’s ass. When it came back almost 5 years later, I cried. I cried pretty hard… but this dude wasn’t worried. He was like, “I beat it before, what’s one more time”. During the entire process I never once heard that man complain, never once saw him hesitate in the face of darkness. Veeno was the definition of positive vibes. His facebook posts during his treatment were my biweekly motivation. He was one of the best and I promise you there was nobody like him. He once told me, “Every day I’m here, I’m a cancer survivor”. Veeno fought like hell. Nobody will ever say he didn’t fight like hell. When things started going downhill he always overcame… It was absolutely unreal. The fight is over my friend, I’m glad you can finally rest. I’m going to miss you. God, am I going to miss you. Doing shows will never be the same and I’m so glad I was able to share the stage with you one last time in October. More importantly, I’m so glad I had your friendship. I’m 100% a better person because of you. Thanks for being an incredible example of how to live your life and we are going to do our best to carry on the positivity that you graced us with every day. Rest easy my brother, I love you You were one of the best and there was nobody like you Veeno.

Did you get to catch “Manifest Summer” live on the livestream last week? Fun fact: Most of my music gets passed over for playlist placements because it doesn’t stick to one genre. So I went to Chris DiCola with a plan to make a straight-up reggae track. But as we got deeper into it, we completely scrapped that idea and let the song evolve naturally into whatever felt right. At that point, my goal shifted to creating something the band could absolutely crush live! Thank you to everyone who’s purchased it and streamed it so far! Spread the word to like minded geniuses like yourself! #Newmusic #rapreggae #reggaerock #zupmusic #livestreamconcert

Stick around for the reveal 👋🏻 Huge thank you to Shrub for coming up to Cleveland on Thursday to be apart of “ZuP at Home” and then asking me to join him on Saturday for the Bumpin Uglies x Ballyhoo show in Columbus. Grateful. #zupmusic #shrublove #ballyhoo #bumpinugliesmusic #livemusic
