Yibby x Zzarni – Truth

‘Truth’ sees the fusion between Sydney based producer/DJ ‘ZZARNI’ (Well known for his SP404 sets) & fellow Sydneysider & artist ‘YIBBY’ (The Chubby Tape) . A smooth soul infused record, ‘Truth’ has that classic hip-hop touch, while staying ‘true’ to the times both sonically & lyrically.

YIBBY off the back of his beloved Aus underground record ‘The Chubby Tape’ with producer Chub.e, & a slate of shows, doing his own National tour & supporting the likes of Redveil – & ZZARNI carving his own lane in production & DJing with his well respected flips & sets, the two have combined forces to create a refreshingly honest, yet effortlessly cool track!

YIBBY on ‘Truth’, “Tbh haha, this was one of those ones that just came together! Me & ZZARNI had a session & we starting this one in the last hour & just got it all down & it came together how it did, I think there was a lot of my own truths I wanted to get out, especially with everything going on in the world, it’s hard to distinguish what to trust”

“At the same time ZZARNI just knows how to pick samples that pack that feeling, as soon I heard the sample I just had a lot coming to mind”

“I’d say the record is about being trying to stand firm in what you believe in & the way you carry yourself regardless & just recognising what’s around you, whether that’s the people, the way of life, the culture.”

ZZARNI on ‘Truth’, “The Truth is, I was working on the beat the night before the session & wasn’t really feeling it. But when I showed it to YIBBY, he transformed a simple loop into this smooth piece with nostalgic references.”

“Echoing what YIBBY said, the track speaks to knowing your roots & that you don’t need to fit the norm. These days, trends & news are so fast paced that it’s easy to feel lost at times. It’s important to have pride in your own skin & to share your space with people that acknowledge & appreciate your differences.”
