What inspired this song/video? How Oakland responded to the murders of Oscar Grant and Trayvon Martin with outrage and protest. The song was written on a night when I could hear the helicopters buzzing right on top of my studio. The video is a collection of dope artists coming together to show how we combat oppression thru the art.
What are you currently working on? The 2nd EP in a series of 3 entitled “Libations”. It drops 4/20. Get it @ soundcloud.com/therealZionI
What’s next? We’re going to finish up these next two EPs, then drop a full length in the Fall and hit the road. I’m also working on a wireless speaker collab amongst several other things. Stay up…
