Zu

Zubair Haque, who is of Pakistani decent, has seemed to accomplish a lot in his short time with music. Born and raised in Flushing, Queens, Zu took the raw style of street music and began to develop a style of his own. His music first hit the airways in fall of 2006, where 90.3 True School Radio hosted by the legendary Afrika Bambaattaa broadcasted "Anti-Friendly." At the same time, he appeared on DJ Emmo's "Crunchtime" mixtape. With production by Big Diz, Zu began collaborating with various people, those of which include Queenbridge's own Killa Sha. In April 2007, both took the stage in a performance. Soon after, "Stronghold" featuring Killa Sha was released on DJ Emmo's Thundaground Army Vol.1. Recently the two have made guest appearances on WNYU's 89.1FM Halftime Radio Show, hosted by the world renowned DJ Eclipse. More recently, he has collaborated with Hell Razah from Sunz of Man, Islord from Killarmy, and Shyheim who are affiliated with the Wu-Tang Clan, as well as a track with Tek from Smif n Wessun. His music was most recently heard on the Real Hip Hop Radio Show, and brocasted internationally on 95.9FM radio in France.
All this is only a small part of what Zu has in store for us. Set to drop later this year, his "Demon the Dark Sense" mixtape includes a combination of hard hitting lyrics over loops. Its theme is a personal outlook on everyday events, conflicting issues in society, as well as a gritty outlook on the streets, all presented in a raw modern poetic sense. His artistic integrity and innovative lyrics are a reflection of the raw urban reality that we live in. Expect to see more of Zu, and hear his music on full rotation.
