Album Description:
Zion-I's new album, True & Livin’, is the Oakland based duo’s third full-length release. Organic soulful compositions, conscious and insightful vocal wordplay and lush strings, horns and bass lines comprise the fabric of their best album to date. In the vein of OutKast and The Roots, Zion-I have successfully cultivated legions of fans equally impressed by their amazing live stage show as their superb recorded material. Composed of producer Amp Live and emcee Zion and featuring Talib Kweli, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), Del (The Funky Homosapien) and Aesop Rock, True & Livin’ will continue to prove that quality, musical Hip-Hop will prevail!
