Zekke

RnB/Soul, Hip-Hop/Rap

Ezekiel also known as Zekke is a Malaysian Artist that mainly creates RnB
music ( Rhythm and Blues). His songs are relaxing and has a deeper meaning
in the lyrics. Listen to his songs while studying, it will calm your nerves and

get you to focus. You can find him on Spotify.

éros

"éros is how I realised real love and my idea of love were two separate things.
The song is a conversation with no reply. I compare the love I knew with her

to a cigarette, offering me temporary comfort, but destroying me slowly,
from the inside out." - ZEKKE

hypocrite

"Hypocrite is more of a time capsule to me than a song, snippets of
recordings and real memories, voice notes, video calls, tape recordings were

all put into it. For this reason, Hypocrite is a song I do not enjoy revisiting,
but it will always be a part of me. As I am a part of it." - ZEKKE

Delta
Apospó

"Delta was written for a friend of mine who suffered really bad panic attacks,
my most memorable incident with her was when she broke down in the

middle of the mall and we had to sit by the stairwell waiting for her to come
back. I wrote this song to find empathy, because to that day, I couldn't
understand it. And the importance of mental and spritual health.
