    • 2022 May 20, “Brooklyn Drill Has Never Been Hotter. Can It Rise Above the Violence?”, in Rolling Stone[1], New York, N.Y.: Penske Media Corporation, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 29 May 2023:
      Having grabbed the torch from the first wave of Brooklyn drill's innovators, Fivio Foreign is all about the genre's future. The gravelly-voiced rapper took over the second half of 2020 with his viral hit "Big Drip," whose video has a whole Hennessy-brandishing squad smoking zaza in front of a Shake Shack, of all places — bringing big roll-up-a-Backwoods-on-the-last-car-of-the-subway energy to a part of Brooklyn where the average overpaying tenant probably rides a unicycle to work.
    • 2023, PLUMMCORP RECORDS, 03:42 from the start, in dracula flow 3[2]:
      Top shelf zaza disrupted my circadian rhythm. I have seen the Magna Carta, I've seen the Eye of Horus. I was flippin' bricks for Mansa Musa before y'all even became a type-1 civilization.

Etymology 2

By analogy with mama and papa.

    Synonyms: za, mo, zori
    Coordinate terms: mama, papa; mom, dad
    You are your zaza's daughter.
    • [2019 June 26, Jacks McNamara, “Unicorn Parenting”, in Santa Fe Reporter[3]:
      A common gender-neutral pronoun that some folks use is Ze, and my parent name, Zaza, is based on that: Ze+Mama=Zaza. I don't go by mom or mommy, and my wife, who is also genderqueer, uses the parent name "Mo." It's pretty cute; "Mo and Zaza love you!"]
