Zion I meets the eye

Meet Zion I, a hip-hop duo that consists of producers AmpLive and MC Zumbi. Although from Oakland, California, they do not rap about “dummy juice” or putting their cars on ghost-ride mode; instead they compose poems out of the ordinary, delivering politically rebellious and soulfully inspirational messages with sick, earthy beats.

For starters, I suggest Bird’s Eye View, Luv, One, Temperature (a collaboration with Talib Kweli), and Current Affairs.
