Being from the Bay, I've been repping G&E along with Zion I/AmpLive for quite some time. Cool to see other blogs picking up on them - this time courtesy of ThisSongIsSick . Def agree with the assessment below. Don't forget to hit up our Grouch , Eligh , Zion I , & AmpLive archives for any past gems you may have missed. "Today I've got a seriously must hear new track combining the best parts of hip hop and electronic for a track that I can't stop [...]
Download: The Grouch + Evidence + Zion I + Eligh - Amp Live For President Z&G&E (Zion I, The Grouch and Eligh) and Evidence birthed a dope song and video this past month while on the road together! The guys just finished the extremely successful (mostly sold out) 19 city "How The Grouch Stole Christmas Tour". "The response has been overwhelming and we just wanted to give the people a little gift for the holidays" says The Grouch about the free download.
Not listening to much hip-hop so far this decade? Me neither. Luckily collaborations like this one are attempting to talk the genre off the ledge.
Zumbi's an emcee who's always been at his best when he rhymes about social issues, politics and the sort. His depth of knowledge really shows that the man knows what [...]

Amp Live is the production half of Zion I. Along with MC Zumbi, Zion I has been holding down the Bay Area for years. Amp Live's production is dope.

Zion I are alive ya'll. Amp Live put out a free beat tape and I'm still playing it. So, the emcee-half of Zion I, Zumbi, decided to drop his own music. He's quite the competitor, a la, Rocky 3, " I pity the fool, and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got! " Versus takes Flying Lotus, Wiz Khalifa, Bassnectar, Little Dragon and several other fresh songs and gives them a new lyrical spin. Sounds a lot like any other mixtape without original production, huh? Maybe it is. Though, the cuts [...]
On the heels Amp Live's instrumental EP , Zion I lyricist Zumbi releases his own mixtape, sans any production from of his partner in crime. Versus is a compilation that shows another side of the Oakland rapper, featuring collaborations with many underground California artists like Lee Bannon and the Jacka that typically have not appeared on any of Zion I's group albums. There are also some more mainstream features in Wiz Khalifa and Lloyd Banks to further cement Zumbi's versatility, showing that he can work with artists that fall into many of [...]
Versus by Zumbi I was inspired to create "Versus" out of my love for dope, diverse music, and wanting to collab with artists that I respect. Truly..there is only I vs. I. This is my offering to you...the other side of myself. One. - Zumbi
In honor of Bassnectar 's fall tour, Lorin has blessed us with what he is calling a "Remixtape"... which in Basshead language, means 30 straight minutes of uninteruppted womp-gasm. The tracks range from remixes, to mashes, to unreleased content. Regardless of your feelings towards Bassnectar, this mix deserves a listen; there's a little bit of everything in it. The best part is, you can get the whole thing for free by providing your email to the Bassnectar squad via the widget below. Listen: Bassnectar - Color Storm Remixtape [...]
You must know who Amp Live is, right? He's the other half of Zion I ; the California duo who've been putting out killer music since 1997. Or, maybe you know him as a producer who has worked with Del tha Funkee Homosapien on " Video Tapez ". If you've somehow never encountered an Amp Live beat, prepare for a wonderful introduction to his sound. If you have, welcome back, I think you'll enjoy You Are Not Human (The Love EP). "Playing With My Tremelo" is a startling jazzy production. It glitches, it's lost in another world [...]
