[RAP] This Oakland rap duo has been touted recently as being introspective, integrative and totally in da hook—focusing on bridging the gap between the Bay Area's variegated underground hip-hop scenes. SF Weekly's Ross Viator wrote in October that MC Zion's voice "resides at the intersection of Q-Tip and Eazy E—heavy on the treble, but with just the right amount of rasp." Also featuring producer Amp Live, Zion-I's latest political and emotionally charged release, True & Livin', fuses rap with soul, jazz and blues, and "runs the gamut from saxophone soaked reflections of life in ghetto American, to synthesized, upbeat, socially conscious anthems to acoustic guitar-driven southern blues ballads." But I'm sure they're also down with you throwing your hands in the air and waving them like you just don't care—you know, if that's your thing. Cover: $10.
