In this episode of BackTrak, Zaytoven retraces the creation of “Make the Trap Say Aye” by Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman—a record that helped define the Atlanta trap sound in its rawest form. From the churchy melodies to the unfiltered bounce, Zay walks us through how the beat came together in a flash, why Gucci and Juice were the perfect match, and how this song lit up the streets like a firework. This is trap history from the man who scored it.Timestamps:0:00 Intro3:21 Early Upbringing and Moving All The Time10:40 Church Lifestyle15:10 First Placements19:15 Moving To Atlanta24:28 So Icy29:28 Gucci Locked Up | Working With OJ31:26 Instruments & Still Playing In Church36:01 The Zaytoven Sound40:32 Musical Influences & Family44:14 Make The Trap Say Aye Backstory48:58 Collaborations & Engineering53:04 Prepping The Process55:59 Beat Recreation01:07:57 The LegacyFollow Zaytoven📸 https://instagram.com/zaytovenbeatzFollow us for more insights into hip hop history and music production:📸 https://instagram.com/tmronetwork📸 https://instagram.com/Doncannon🎽 Merch: https://shoptmro.com/#zaytoven #guccimane #zaytoventypebeat
