Competition + Free Download
Win A Jzaman "Comfort Zone" T Shirt

Auckland based MC beatmaker HipHop artist Jzaman's first release The Jzaman and Cynical Movement in 2006 was a home studio product, but got good reviews in local mags leading to gigs over last 4 years at 420, Rising Sun, Fu Bar, Safari Lounge, Kings Arms and Toto's Bacco Room.

He's recently been back in the studio recording his follow up album Comfort Zone you can get a taste of the album by downloading What I've Been Doing (Nothing) until the end of November.
