Zion I

[Al Boo Boo]

definitely holdin down the Bay and Amplive is one of the new stars when it comes to production even tho he been steppin his game up every album.I agree that he should prod for more cats out here.

Zion-I is the shit...

Zion is one of the best EMCEES in The Bay hands down...and they make REAL music...

Amp is also a very underrated producer...he's probably one of the most versatile producers from The Bay period...from Linkin Park's 'Plc.4 Mie Haed' to Goapele's first hit 'Closer' to 'The Bay Remix' feat. Zion, Clyde Carson, Turf Talk, Casual...Amp Live is the shit.

True & Livin IMO was the best Bay Hip Hop album of 05

real talk

that song wit grouch

yea i like that other track w/grouch "flow" except the hook is kinda annoying, but otherwise one of my favorite tracks. i think the next zion i album is a collabo with grouch, can't wait for that one.

 

[STICK-N-MOVE]

non bay cats be loving zion i

 

[BETO916]

ZION I is THE SHIT!!

the have one of THE BEST live shows in hip hop.....period.

the way Zion & Deuce Eclipse work the crowd is DOPE, plus AMPLIVE be killin' 'em with the MPC. I think them and the Legends are the first ones I've seen who rock off the MPC....it's pretty dope.

 

[freebigplaya]

tha bay remix is tight

 

[Ruthlessjgrimm]

anyone know how I can get a hold of them?

 

[Thought]

dam good to see alot of love for Zion I, ill be seeing them in concert on April 1st in COlorado, True & Livin' was a great album and im finding that more people know about Zion I through that album, Mind Over Matter and Deep Water Slang 2.0 are definitly classics imo and so is True & Livin' so i guess what im saying is Zion I is a classic group and one of the best to make hip hop

 

[MOREBASS]

If anyone was at the Zion-I, The Team, Crown City Rockers, Thizz Ent & co... concert @ The Fillmore they tore that bitch down.

That was dope because the 'backpack' crowd came together w/ the whole 'hyphy' crowd and blew the roof off that bitch together...it was lovely. I think theres supposed to be a DVD.

 

[pharoah]

them dudes is hot but the bay ain't giving them the love that they deserve. it would be nice to see them get some of them spins on the radio that they give to cats who ain'treally doing nothing but imitating what everybody else doing.let some cats with a different flavor get some light

 

[FoeTwin]

yeah zion i is the shit. most bay artists that are actually good dont usually get too much love on here, but zion i seems to slowly be transcending into the hyphy crowd. it mightve been that bay remix, but either way theyre dope and theyre attracting a wider fan base...and therye awesome live

First, I didnt even know Zion I existed until last year. I found a couple of their trax on Download.com and once I finished listening to the cuts dumb down, actrite, and birdseyeview I was hooked. I especially like their style in as much as they dont stick to the sterotypical "gangsta" profile most westcoast cali cats try to portray to their audience. On the real, I was kidna suprised they were from Oakland b/c they sounded real east coast, in that they are sticking to what I would term "real hip hop" music. By the way, I'm down here in Bama so you know we slow on that slanguage y'all be sayin, wtf is a Hyphy?:ermm:

^^well than you must not be up on Hieroglyphics or The Coup either if you were surprised they were from Oakland.I suggest you discover some more good music by looking up those artists too.

for real, if you like zion i you'll prolly like hiero, the coup, grouch & eligh, and crown city rockers..all i can think off the top

 

[ClickClack]

i love the beat on "birds eye view"

 

[Kon Capola]

i agree,mind over matter would be in my top 5 also. glad to see true and livin got so much attention and brought new fans to their music but that album has nothing on mind over matter.

i actually think mind over matter comes in second and true & livin comes 1st

i needa start knockin them again.

i agree, and dont be afraid to venture out 'the bay' lol

theres loads of other good shit similar to zion i

 

[jusT_go DUMB]

i found out Zion I from my frend at my high school...one of the teachers is frends wit one of tha dudes in the group....they got some tite songs too

 

[stuck]

True and Livin' was most def one of the best CDs out the Bay last year. Off top only Jack Artist and Son of a Pimp I was feeling more...

 

[Thought]

ive heard Zion I is tight live ive never seen them live but look forward to it
