Now this is some good, electronica-styled Hip-Hop. Forget the crap trance samples and rave nonsense. Get some real, gritty synth-bass, and some perfectly-toned Oakland, CA conscious lyrics. Done. Helps to have some swagger and style to your video edits too.
Oh, and don’t forget the bicycles. Lots and lots of bicycles.
Zion I is a hip hop duo from Oakland, California. The duo consists of producer (& DJ) Amplive and Mc Zumbi. The group is known to its followers for Amp’s futuristic production techniques, using a mix of live instrumentation and samples, and Zumbi’s positive and socially conscious lyrics. If you like this video, make sure to check out the full Zion I Crew album Shadowboxing and the (free) Shadowboxing Remixes.
At the time of publishing, looks like Amazon has the best deal on the Shadowboxing (Deluxe Edition). Your mileage may vary.
