Dr. Zeus began his career in 1999 where he was signed to the Envy music label based in Birmingham, UK where he produced PURE GARAGE - SUE MY ASS by the Punjabi singer, Balwinder Singh Safri, from the band Safri Boyz. He had two popular songs on this album, which were "Sahiba bani prawa di" and "Par langa de veh".
He then released his debut solo album "The High Life". In 2001 again on the Envy music label, this with the vocal talents of Amar Arshi singing "Gwandian Da Dhol", which again was a hit but still did not put Zeus on the international scale until 2003.
Dr. Zeus then released Unda Da Influence in 2003. This album surprised the Bhangra industry as a whole. Unda Da Influence gave Zeus the international and UK boost to take Best Album of 2003 and Best Song of 2003 "Kangna".
Dr. Zeus then released his third album, "The Original Edit" in 2005 with Lehmber Hussainpuri singing all the vocals. This album had many hit songs such as Je Jatt Bigr Gaya, Sachiyan Suniyan Ni, and Das Ki Soniyeh.
Dr. Zeus then released his remix album of all his greatest hits entitled The Street Remix in 2006, which again did make heads turn and give Zeus more confidence and recognition.
Dr. Zeus' most recent album; released in 2007 named Back Unda Da Influence is now available. In this album Zeus took a very different approach compared to Unda Da Influence and considers it a much more 'Desi' album. In Back Unda Da Influence Zeus used majority unknown artists and introduced another new phenomenon; G.Sharmilla; whom Zeus has high expectation of. Back Unda Da Influence has received a massive reception and many consider it a contestant for album of the year 2007/2008. The song named Sat Sri Akaal hit No.1 on the BBC Asian Network Charts.
Dr. Zeus stated on a recent BBC Asian Network interview that Back Unda Da Influence was recorded exclusively at his own studio (BFK Studio). This will hopefully stop all the people claiming that they produced all of Zeus' music.
Artist management for Dr. Zeus within the United States is conducted by The Diamond Lane Records based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Diary
Dr. Zeus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While I talk about the pages of my diary
Listen up
I remember when I got started my intention was to win
But a lot of shit changed since then
Some old friends became enemies in the quest of victory
But I made a vow, never let this shit get to me
And I'm strong, financially, physically
Mentally I'm on a whole 'nother level
And don't forget that I came from the ghetto
Sold a new house for my moms, that's special
I let you going shopping till your feet get tired
Then a new Benz just for you to ride in
When I didn't have it, you provided
Don't be surprised that I built an enterprise
And my house got a view of the city like a highrise
I'm just talking to my diary, I'm just talking to my diary
When I open up my book I think about the world later
No ink in the pen, no lines on the paper
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary
Sometimes when I got a lot of shit on my mind
I'm just staring at the sky, you probably thinkin' I'm high
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary
Now puff-puff-pass got a nigga having flashbacks
I remember how it used to be
Now my money like NASDAQ, my checks you can cash that
I remember how it used to be
I used to be a starving artist so I would never starve an artist
This is my passion, it's where my heart is
It gets the hardest when I think about the dearly departed
Like the nigga I started with
I know Eazy can see me now, looking down through the clouds
And regardless, I know my nigga still proud
It's been a while since we spoke but you still my folks
We used to sit back, laugh and joke
Now I remember when we used to do all-nighters
You in the booth and Cube in the corner writing
Where Ren at? Shout out to my nigga Yella
Damn, I miss that
Shit, a nigga having flashbacks
When I open up my book I think about the world later
No ink in the pen, no lines on the paper
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary
Sometimes when I got a lot of shit on my mind
I'm just staring at the sky, you probably thinkin' I'm high
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just talking to my diary

I remember when I got started my intention was to win
When I first began my career, my goal was to achieve success and come out on top
But a lot of shit changed since then
However, many things have changed since that time
Some old friends became enemies in the quest of victory
Certain individuals I used to consider friends turned into adversaries as we competed for success
But I made a vow, never let this shit get to me
Nevertheless, I promised myself that I would not let these situations affect me negatively
I let it pass, so I consider that part of my history
I chose to let go of those conflicts and consider them as part of my past
And I'm strong, financially, physically
Currently, I am financially stable and physically capable
Mentally I'm on a whole 'nother level
Moreover, my mental state has reached a much higher level of strength and resilience
And don't forget that I came from the ghetto
It's important to remember that I originated from a disadvantaged and impoverished neighborhood
Sold a new house for my moms, that's special
I went on to sell a brand new house for my mother, which holds significant meaning
I let you going shopping till your feet get tired
I allow you to shop without restraint until you are physically exhausted
Then a new Benz just for you to ride in
After that, I bought you a new Mercedes-Benz solely for your enjoyment
When I didn't have it, you provided
During times when I lacked luxuries, you were there to provide them for me
Don't be surprised that I built an enterprise
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that I have successfully established a thriving business
And my house got a view of the city like a highrise
I now reside in a house with a magnificent view of the city, comparable to that of a tall skyscraper
I'm just talking to my diary, I'm just talking to my diary
All these thoughts and experiences I'm expressing are simply conversations with my personal diary
Now puff-puff-pass got a nigga having flashbacks
Engaging in smoking marijuana and passing it around brings back nostalgic memories for me
I used to be a starving artist so I would never starve an artist
In the past, I struggled financially as an artist, so now I make sure other artists do not experience the same
This is my passion, it's where my heart is
Creating music is not just a hobby but a deep-seated passion that lies within my heart
It gets the hardest when I think about the dearly departed
The most difficult moments arise when I reminisce about those who are no longer with us
Like the nigga I started with
Particularly, the person I began my musical journey with
I know Eazy can see me now, looking down through the clouds
I believe the late Eazy-E can observe me from above, peering through the clouds
And regardless, I know my nigga still proud
Regardless of the circumstances, I am confident that my friend would still be proud of me
It's been a while since we spoke but you still my folks
Though it has been some time since we last conversed, you remain an important person in my life
We used to sit back, laugh and joke
We used to relax, share laughter, and engage in playful banter
Now I remember when we used to do all-nighters
I recall the times when we stayed up all night together, working on our music
You in the booth and Cube in the corner writing
You would be in the recording booth while Cube sat in the corner, writing lyrics
Where Ren at? Shout out to my nigga Yella
I wonder where Ren is now? A shout out to my friend Yella
Damn, I miss that
Damn, I really miss those times and the people from that period
