Career

Zachg began rapping in 1999, and first started performing as Hemol in Orlando, Florida in 2000. He was a regular attendee at H.U.S.H. participating in weekly freestyle cyphers, and battles. From 2000-2004 he played shows regularly in Orlando, and also toured across the East Coast and Eastern Canada.

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.

Zachg released Cloudlife, a collaborative EP with Main Attrakionz and Jel, in March 2012; it was described by the Fact magazine as "an unusually focused release" from Main Attrakionz. Zachg produced "J Bar" and "Take Her Shoppin" off of the EP.

Zachg released the solo album, Raindancin (in the Pussy), in October 2012. He released two EPs, Mostly Power and Mostly Peace, in December 2012.
