Hardcore

Don Toliver

Zack Bia

<p>Zack Bia is often seen hanging out with some of the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/431436-olivia-rodrigo-and-dj-zack-bia-break-up-sort-of-fizzled-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">biggest names in the music industry</a>, and now, he&#8217;s markedly giving them a run for their money with a debut release of his own. On Friday (January 27), the 26-year-old finally shared his &#8220;Hardcore&#8221; single which finds him in the producer&#8217;s seat, and <a href="/profile/don-toliver" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Don Toliver</a> holding it down on vocals.</p>



<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve really been wanting to put music out for a long time, right? And I&#8217;ve been working with artists in different capacities forever,&#8221; the socialite told Zane Lowe on <em>Apple Music 1</em> recently. &#8220;It&#8217;s really a two-part record. It feels like a DJ set. I think we did something really creative.&#8221;</p>

<p>Bia further explains, &#8220;We gave them two very distinct records that come together as one in a seamless way. I think people will really feel like, &#8216;Oh, this feels like it&#8217;s being DJed live for me.&#8217; And that&#8217;s kind of the purpose of it.&#8221;</p>



<p>Aside from being a big debut for the DJ, this is also the first time fans have heard Toliver since last November&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/451309-don-toliver-changes-up-his-sound-on-do-it-right" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Do It Right.&#8221;</a> The unique single found the Houston native switching up his usual sound and embracing experimentation.</p>



<p>On his latest release, however, the 28-year-old sounds like the Cactus Jack star we&#8217;ve grown to love since his initial rise on the scene.</p>
