Following the announcement of his debut album LESS IS MOOR due out March 20, multidisciplinary artist, rapper, producer, and performer Ojay Morgan who performs as Zebra Katz shares incendiary video for recent single “ISH”. The video is “a square-dance in darkness against oppression,” says Zebra. “With this visual, I wanted to capture and release the rage I'm constantly in as a Black artist. This is what happens when I lose it - in a non-threatening and sensual way. With only a day to rehearse and establish choreography with Tom Heyes, I felt confident knowing it was time to battle myself out of the white box, step back into the zone, and fully embrace my inner ISH.” Written and produced with Sega Bodega, “ISH” has critics and listeners on their heels with acclaim from Essence, Pitchfork, NYLON, them.us, Resident Advisor, BrooklynVegan, and HYPEBEAST.
