Don’t forget Zion I is playing in Oakland TONIGHT at The New Parish!
Fresh off the huge success of their most recent release, Atomic Clock, local hip-hop legends Zion I play to a hometown crowd at The New Parish in Oakland this Friday night. Spinning Platters caught up with a busy MC Zumbi for a couple of questions…
With your latest release, Atomic Clock, having been on top of the college radio charts for some time now, how do you feel the public has received this album?
Folks are definitely feeling the album, which is a blessing.
With Martin Luther King Day just passing, what are your thoughts regarding the impact that black musicians have had on modern music?
Black music has helped to shape the modern world quite obviously. We are the creators of style, though once created, we have struggled to maintain control of the art-forms that we father. Yet in still, the love has still been given out, and thats what music is all about.
