Zach Schonfeld is a freelance journalist and writer based in New York. He is a former senior writer at Newsweek, and the author of the fascinating book, Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth, published by the 33 1/3 series in 2020.
As a freelance writer, Schonfeld’s work has graced the pages of Pitchfork, Vulture, Paste Magazine, and more. In his book, Schonfeld delves into the unusual saga of 24-Carat Black, an orchestral and sprawling funk group from the ’70s, whose album Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth, despite being a commercial flop initially, later found its way into the samples of some of the biggest names in hip-hop.
