Zion I: The Takeover Tour

Mar 31, 2010 by Melia Campos

On March 26 the Spirit Bar in Nelson was packed full of lovin’ hip-hop fans, who anxiously awaited the arrival of the group “Zion I:” a well-known hip-hop group from Oakland, California.

The night started off with three local DJ’s: DJ Ben Fox, SES and Ben Fresh. They got the crowd pumpin’ while Zion I’s crew were relaxing in the VIP.

Zion I consists of three members: DJ Amplive, Zumbi (who is the rap artist), and Holiday (vocalist).

My friend and I were even lucky enough to meet Zion I and get invited to sit with them in the VIP! Holiday asked us to join them, and once we started talking we got to know that they were super nice people, who love what they do.

Their music focuses on more serious and spiritual subject matter. This group has been together for over ten years now, and has produced numerous CD’s. DJ Amplive is known to have remixed for everyone from Linkin Park to MGMT.

Songs to download first are: “Hit ‘em,” “I love the way she moves,” and “Don’t loose your head.”

For all of those who missed this sick performance, I hope you catch ‘em next time!

Peace.
