5	----
6	!!Tropes found in his songs include:
7	* AnAesop: Has a tendency to include one. For example, "Pro/Con" is about reconciling one's strengths and weaknesses, and "Buddha Worm" is about putting aside one's ego to recognize their mortality.
8	* BadassBoast: Several in "F-Bombs". Deconstructed, however, in "Pro/Con".
9	* BrainyBrunette: Has dark hair, and is known for the wordplay in the lyrics he writes.
10	* ClusterFBomb: Played for laughs in "F-Bombs".
11	* ComebackTomorrow: The point of "The Letter C".
12	* TheDogBitesBack: "Krav Maga" involves a bully and a robber getting beaten by their respective victims using the titular martial art.
13	* JewishAndNerdy: Discussed in "Street Cred", where he acknowledges his background being unusual for a rapper, as he wasn't involved in any gangs, he just did mundane things such as a cappella and was on the debate team. [[spoiler: He did, however, steal a softcore porn magazine and get away scot-free.]]
14	* MundaneMadeAwesome: He once made a song about an aggressive bee, of all things. It's called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "The Aggressive Bee"]].
15	** In general, he can make an interesting song about basically ''anything'' from the idea of circumcising ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} to listening to Podcast/{{Serial}}.
16	* NotSoDifferentRemark: In "Buddha Worm", Zach [[CondescendingCompassion smugly saves a worm from getting crushed]], thinking of himself as a hero for saving a fragile little worm that [[YouCantFightFate wouldn't be able to do anything if a human ended up stepping on it]]. [[spoiler: But then Zach himself almost gets run over by a truck and wonders, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion couldn't he himself get run over and killed at any moment?]] It's then that he realizes the lesson the worm was teaching him.]]
17	* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: In "Krav Maga"
