Zen-G's new maxi single

Burak Kaçar, also known by his stage name Zen-G, is meeting music fans with his maxi single, which consists of two songs in two different styles. Titled "Siyah Beyaz," ("Black and White"), the successful rapper comes with a strong presence, blending hard and rhythmic vocals with house and drill beats, adorned with synth and string melodies.

In the song, Zen-G talks about the feelings of someone experiencing heartache, while simultaneously questioning life. The underlying message of the song is: "We label people we meet, our feelings and our lives as 'black and white,' as good and bad, and act accordingly. This makes understanding the world easier, like a neatly organized chessboard, which our brains prefer."

Successful rapper Zen-G's maxi single "Siyah Beyaz" will be released under the Sony Music Türkiye label on Dec. 8 on all digital platforms.

In his songs, he usually addresses the neighborhood he grew up in Istanbul and Turkish culture.
