Gimmie. A. Break.
On the underground tip, Zion I have been holding down the Earthquake State for awhile. So why, after ten years of developing their own unique steez, do they have to sink as low as completely biting The Cool Kids?
The duo’s new single “Juicy Juice” might as well be the sequel to “Black Mags.” From the slow delivery to the slightly screwed chorus over the 808′s, it’s damn near identical. On top of the defined gank move, they even sneak in a Bo Jackson line, something eerily reminiscent of the The Kids’ playbook.
For better or worse, Chuck and Mikey have succeeded. As they say, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

from KiSS MY ASS !! yeah !! oww !!
JAY ELECTRONICA….
if that got your attention (I’m becoming a stan, myself), here’s the OFFICIAL mix of Exhibit A (Transformations)
Yea it is on some Cool Kids ish, but I am kinda feeling it. Reminds me of some vintage 90′s bay area music. We was 808 heavy back in the day!! (most popular reference I can use Born to Mac/2 Short) But it’s cool, the bay has been swagger jacked loooooooong before “swagger jacking’ was the thing to say. So in essence you can say Zion I is giving props to their Bay roots.
Haven’t heard this and can’t until I get home, but I will say I DLed 3 Zion I tracks last week…
One i LOVE-Gotsta Chill feat Kweli
and two i HATE-The Rebel and some track with Grouch and Santogold on it
Mind Over Matter was amazing.
My joint was Silly Puddy!
maybe because the cool kids are bything the bay????
