After a string of hits in his kitty, the Atlanta based producer is now working on his official debut album, following in the footsteps of folks like Mike WiLL Made It. In an interview with Radar Radio at SXSW in Austin, Zay Tiggy reveals that he’s currently recording for the project which we should expect sometime in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Zaytoven also mentions that both established as well as new artists will be featured on his album
While Zaytoven is known for his collaborations with Gucci Mane and Migos, the heavyweight beatmaker is gearing up for his own debut album. To kick things off, Zaytoven recruited Guwop and 21 Savage for his new song "East Atlanta Day."

Zaytoven is readying his own album, Trap Holizay, for release this year.
In addition to the Gucci Mane and 21 Savage-assisted “East Atlanta Day,” the project is expected to feature Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Migos, Future, and Jeremih.
ZAYTOVEN TEASES JAY Z COLLABORATION AND “BEAST MODE” SEQUEL
“Just meeting Jay and being in the same room with him, to even give him music was all that I needed,” he says. “It just made me feel so good and let me know that I was on the right track. I can’t say when any music of me and Jay Z is coming out, but we put some music together.”
The “monumental” moment showed him aspects of Jay Z’s work ethic and in-studio process. “He already had in mind what he wanted,” he explains. “He was like, ‘With Zaytoven, I want to get them pianos and I want to get them strings.’ That let me know he’s been listening and he knows what he wants.”
So, how does their collaborative work sound? “It’s just new, brand new,” reveals Zay. “It’s refreshing. It’s piano-driven but still hard-hittin’.”
It’s unclear when the Jaytoven tracks will see the light of day. In the meantime, fans are also waiting on the second installment of Future and Zaytoven’s Beast Mode mixtape series, which was slated for release last year.
