The Zoo Returns: A Melodic Homecoming to the Garden State

Released: March 27th 2026 – (18 songs / 1 hour)

JERSEY 🗣️! Stand up! This one is for you.

Fetty Wap, aka “Zoovier,” is back and better! Hopefully, he stays out of trouble and keeps this momentum going. Fetty was released three months ago (January 2026) after serving three years and went straight to the studio.

This project includes features from Wiz Khalifa, Tink, Max B, and G Herbo, as well as some of New Jersey’s very own like Honey Bxby, the one and only Monty, Albee Al, Oskama, and more. It is safe to say he made sure to show love to fellow artists from the area.

Fetty Wap kicks off Zavier with a love note announcing his return on the intro track, “Right Back to You.” With lyrics expressing how much he missed “you” and wanting to know what has changed since he’s been gone, one wonders: is this an ode to music or a lover who held it down while he was locked away? Of course, Fetty had to kick things off with melodic vibes to remind fans of his range.

That range continues as we navigate our way to another highlight track, “White Roses.” The doo-wop, jazzy feel transports the listener through time. Fetty takes it up a notch by delivering a Sinners-inspired video, dressed up for the occasion—think Dapper Dan swag!

We then move on to some tracks for the ladies and feel-good vibes on “With It or What.” This track is perfect for a nice day with the windows down, just cruising. It’s strictly for the vibes.

While the “lovey-dovey” energy is present throughout the project, what really stands out is the track “Real Ones” featuring Albee Al and Harrd Luck. Albee Al has been putting Jersey—specifically Jersey City—on his back, so I was hyped to get to this track. Harrd Luck delivered bar after bar as well, with each artist tapping into their feelings regarding the streets.

We continue these vibes on “I Remember/Dear Zavier” featuring G Herbo—as some would say, “THIS THAT PAIN.” Fetty recalls memories of the trials and tribulations of growing up in the hood and waiting for that “drop” on the days he needed it most during his rise to fame. G Herbo was the perfect feature for this vibe, contributing his own stories, including the first time he had to “slide” on his opposition. They even filmed a music video for this one in Fetty Wap’s hometown of Paterson!

Considering Fetty’s ups and downs—from the loss of his daughter to his personal struggles and legal issues—it is great to see him maintain his momentum. There are kids who weren’t even born yet when his first hits dropped who are now singing “Baby won’t you come my way” at his recent appearances. Overall, this project is worth the listen and will definitely have several tracks on repeat for me!
