Zion I & the Grouch: Heroes in the Healing of the Nation
Zion I & The Grouch seek to recapture the best parts of their previous collaboration while trying to up the ante with new elements. Individually, Zumbi and Amp Live (together known in hip-hop as Zion I, with the "I" pronounced like "eye") create great music. It's easy, and enjoyable, to dig into their discography, because all of their albums are solid, but my favorite Zion I releases are Mind Over Matter (2000), The Takeover (2009), and Atomic Clock (2010). Zumbi is the emcee, a thoughtful but slightly underrated wordsmith with a smooth delivery. His voice falls somewhere near Q-Tip's...
