Zap the Genie Is Redefining Flow, Faith, and Fearlessness
Hailing from Frederick, Maryland, and now based in Baltimore, Zap the Genie is an artist who refuses to be boxed in. Operating under his label Linguine, Zap represents a new kind of creative—one whose music feels less like performance and more like alignment. His sound is unpredictable, energetic, and deeply intuitive, driven by what he describes as being “one with the beat.”
the mission Zap has for his music
Zap the Genie’s defining trait is his unorthodox, unlimited flow. Every track feels different, yet unmistakably his. Whether it’s happy rap, trap, gospel, or Afrobeats, Zap adapts effortlessly, elevating any production he touches. His music carries a clear mission: to help people feel good about life, celebrate their accomplishments, get money the right way, provide for their families, and love one another.
Before his music career
Before music ever entered the picture, Zap was already an artist. Drawing, sculpting, painting—creative expression has always been second nature. Music simply became another canvas. Influenced heavily by sports, anime, faith, and real-life experiences, his catalog reflects a mindset rooted in discipline, imagination, and spiritual grounding.
the impact Zap has had on his city
With well over a thousand tracks created and 200–400 officially released, Zap the Genie’s work ethic speaks louder than accolades. While he may not boast traditional awards, his impact within his city runs deep, and his supporters—both known and unknown—have played a crucial role in shaping his journey.
Trials and tribulations
That journey hasn’t been linear. Early on, Zap was dropping visuals consistently, building momentum, but chose to take a step back. Not out of fear—out of growth. He recognized the need to refine his sound, to better understand himself, and to avoid becoming too comfortable. “Sometimes people didn’t understand me. Sometimes I didn’t understand myself,” he admits. That pause became pivotal. Fueled by faith and encouragement from supporters, he returned with clarity and renewed purpose.
Now, Zap the Genie is locked in. Focused. Evolving.
What’s next
Looking ahead, he sees himself changing the industry, even if he can’t yet fully comprehend how far that change will reach. His vision goes beyond success—it’s about how music is delivered, preserved, and used to help people, one life at a time. With God at the center, Zap believes there are no limits to what’s possible.
The next chapter arrives with his upcoming project, #LINGUINEFOREVER, a 15-track album set to drop January 2026. True to form, the project spans moods, genres, and emotions—offering something for everyone while staying rooted in Zap’s unmistakable energy.
One thing is clear:
The world is only beginning to understand who Zap the Genie is.
And he’s just getting started.
