Life and career
Zachg, who is Jewish, is originally from Broward County, Florida and grew up in Windmill Ranch Estates in Weston, Florida. He attended University of Central Florida for advertising. He examined the roots of sampling in hip hop with his master's thesis at New York University Tisch School of the Arts.
Zachg was featured on "Hyperbolic Chamber Music", a 22-minute track produced by Ryan Hemsworth, along with other rappers such as Kool A.D., Lakutis, Isaiah Toothtaker, and Shady Blaze. He was also featured on "Hyperbolic Chamber Music II", which was produced by Steel Tipped Dove.
In 2012, Zachg released Cloudlife, a collaborative EP with Main Attrakionz and Jel. It was described by Fact as "an unusually focused release" from Main Attrakionz. He produced "J Bar" and "Take Her Shoppin" off of the EP. In that year, he also released Raindancin (in the Pussy), as well as Mostly Power and Mostly Peace.
