    They switched it up, but still come correct. Open your mind and don't sleep.

  1. There are certainly worse ways to make party music, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing, especially if Zion I is going to keep up some of its backpackery, fight-for-change rhetoric.
  2. Zion I--on four songs, at least--maintain their sterling reputation as one of the most underrated acts around.

    Unabashedly upbeat, MC Zumbi compares ghetto life to being a "caged bird," but even when he dismisses haters ("Burning incense, yeah, they tried to call us yoga"), he sounds optimistic.
