This week I was fortunate enough to get in contact with an up and coming trap/bass superstar known as Prismo. For those of you who don’t know, Zack Burgett (A.K.A. Prismo) is a young producer hailing from Houston, Texas. With-in the past two years, Prismo has released music on Firepower Records, Monstercat, and several other huge labels.
