In a one on one interview with Zane Lowe, Russ shared some of the thought process that went into the making of ZOO, “"For me, there's always going to be the rap element and the melody element always. But this album, as far as like a theme and a mood, it’s really more personal than I've ever gone. I really dug deep. It's really reflective of everything right now."

Prior to the release of ZOO, Russ shared two tracks with fans, most recently with “Serious”. The potent new track can be heard“Serious” follows ZOO’s kickoff track “The Flute Song,” which was released in mid-August. Produced by Scott Storch, “The Flute Song” can be heard
