Our Youth is What it Do!

By Lue Dowdy

I love social media and how it allows you to connect with so many different people from different walks of life. As I was scrolling on Facebook, I came across a post of a young rap artist that is on FIRE. Not only is he a little cutie, but he’s a talented cutie with a good head on his shoulders and an amazing support team.

Born and raised In Southern California, Izayah Anthony Guerrero, affectionately known as Zay Is a 9-year-old featured star.  He started making a name for himself at 4 years old, being in multiple fashion shows and having roles in a handful of music videos from various famous music artists.  From there, he found himself In a few commercials. His love for music and acting has made this young little guy very goal-oriented and his ability to driving towards his dreams Has shown in his recent success.

Zay is 1 of 5 brothers. And through good and bad, this family has always stuck together. Given his 3 older brothers Izayah Immediately fell in love with sports.  He started playing football at the age of 7, In which he played QB and CB. The team was one game from winning the Super Bowl as they finish the season 8-2. Football taught Izayah discipline and how to work hard and never to give up. He took those tools with him in his career and shows it not only during performances but also with how hard he practices his craft.

Izayah, artistically known as Yung Zay, started his rap career from his school talent show where he stole the show! His parents knew then that he was ready for the big stage. At the age of 8 he recorded the song called “We Are the Future,” Which turned heads locally in Southern California. It also reached the Bay Area, where he received an NAACP award. He also performed “We Are the Future” in front of a packed house at the 5th Annual Film Awards Show.

Izayah recently recorded a single called “DONT PLAY” and a single called “LONG HAIR DON’T CARE”, Available on all major platforms. Soon to come is his highly anticipated EP titled “It’s Just Me” Which will be released soon. Izayah has shown his ability to work a crowd but has the aspirations to succeed behind the camera. We promise this little guy is upcoming and ready for anything. I feel sorry for his parent’s and security team because trust the little girls are going to go bananas over Zay.
