Guru of the legendary rap group Gang Starr is presently in a coma as a result of complications from experiencing cardiac arrest over the weekend. My prayers go out to the brother, sending light and guidance that God will pull him thru this tumultuous time. The first time I heard Gang Starr was when they dropped “Manifest”. DJ Premier flipped Charlie Parker’s “Night in Tunisia”, and Guru dropped knowledge with calm precision, after that song, I was hooked. The crew was one of the first to soulfully fuse jazz and hip hop with a perfect balance of booming melodics. Having released 8 LP’s, they are sure to go down in the hall of fame. Please spread the word, and send good energy to the bredren that he may pull thru this challenge successfully. Give thanks…peace…
This show went off!!! The photos speak for themselves..enjoy!! The house was packed and thick clouds of smoke were wafting thru the air. Shouts out to Rebelution and Soja..who crushed the stage, as usual!
Wow…this tour has been ill!! After nearly 10 years of touring, this is definitely the most successful one that we’ve been on thus far. What a blessing! We’ve done shows up and down the west coast, 9 thus far, and all have been sold out. It’s such a pleasure to rock with humble souls spreading good energy and intention every night. I suppose this is the type of thing that the world needs in this moment. Enough really can’t be said about emphasizing the “brighter side of life” as stated by Rebelution. I’m with that, totally and completely. Peep the movements and stay up with us as we spread love.
Hail up all massive! Today’s show is focused on reggae music. Since we’re currently on tour with ragga champions Rebelution & Soja, I was in the mood to honor the vibes. I didn’t get a chance to upload their music yet, but that’s coming very soon. The tour has been incredible thus far. Every show has been sold out thus far, 8 in a row. This is definitely the largest tour that we’ve ever been on. Give thanks! With so much chaos in the world, it feels good to be around some calming, introspective musicians and music. Each night the vibe is extraordinarily mellow and chill. Niceness. Thus, I wanted to share some of that laid back cool with y’all. So, sit back and be easy, this one is for the mind. In addition to this, Zion I is also offering 5 free songs to our fans. Simply send a text message to 50500, and write Zioni. You will receive a link by which to download the songs. Guidance and protection family…stay tuned to the Science. Bless!
