Zion-I and The Grouch

A word from Zumbi, taken from here.

“What up family…We’ve been incredibly busy over the last couple of weeks and are excited to announce that we have some new music ready for you!  In addition to the Zion I album which we’ve been meditating on, we’re also almost done with the new Zion I & the Grouch project.  Thus, we would like to present to you the first single off the new album from Z&G entitled “Leader” and backed by “One” (which has landed in the new film Step Up 3D)!  We are excited to be bringing you this new music.  The studio is feeling like home these days, as we’ve been living there for the past couple months.  Watch us talk about the new tracks in the video below and let us know how you’re feeling the new jams.  Hit us up at facebook.com/zionicrew and leave a comment about the song, or if you’re on twitter hit us up at: twitter.com/zioni, twitter.com/zumbi808, or twitter.com/amplive.  Give thanks y’all, enjoy!”

- MC Zumbi of Zion I

Reflection Eternal Tour Dates

Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek accepted each others friend requests and not only have a new album coming out but a tour as well. These two were responsible for some of the go to jams in my college days.  We used to put on "This Means You".....and then continue to sit there not doing much of anything.  But boy did that song make me want to get hyped.  If only getting hyped didn't require so much energy.
