Kid Zach Prowls The Night Alongside MiddleManR3ek On “GOOSEBUMPZ”

The gritty realism that fuels underground hip-hop can feel strange to outsiders, dismissed as exaggerated bravado or blurred fantasy. Truth may be buried in the bars, but unless you’re living in each rapper’s shoes, separating fact from fiction is nearly impossible. Richmond MC Kid Zach leans into that ambiguity on “GOOSEBUMPZ,” a lurking track that blurs the line between threat and theatrics. Joined by MiddleManR3ek, he delivers sinister bars over a stark beat, bringing it all to life through a shadowy video that matches the song’s chilling tone.

Shot by Truth Visions, the video follows the duo on a prowling mission, haunting empty parking lots and desolate streets with their ominous flow and stark lyricism. MiddleManR3ek opens the track with a barrage of sharp jabs over a disorienting beat, setting the stage for Kid Zach to amplify the menace with his own cold-blooded bars. A spliced-up sample from the Goosebumps TV theme bookends the track, framing the affair as a nightmare narrative filled with violent threats and unflinching detachment. Both MCs lean into the darkness, with Kid Zach looming large, his delivery commanding and his presence chilling.

“GOOSEBUMPZ” is the first single from Kid Zach in 2025, kicking off a steady run of singles that includes “Chinaman,” “Betty Butter,” “Do You Hear Me,” “Skyscraper,” “Got A Problem,” “Pasta,” and “Rp20.” Many of these tracks feature or are full collaborations with MiddleManR3ek, who’s been just as active this year with a plethora of singles, including “A Lock” and “LOOKOUT” that both featured Kid Zach. With more releases likely on the way–visually and musically–it’s clear that keeping tabs on Kid Zach isn’t just recommended, it’s required.
