Some rappers and a reggae-rock band did a U.S. tour together at the beginning of this year, and then decided to do this song together, and it is a sick collaboration.
Zion I is a hip-hop duo from Oakland, California who released their first album in 2000, which was nominated for Independent Album of the Year by The Source magazine. They gained more exposure and respect with their critically-acclaimed third album True and Livin' which came out in 2005, and again with their fifth album released in 2006 called Heroes in the City of Dope, featuring the single "Spinnin'" that was on the soundtrack of the movie "Grandma's Boy." Their song "Go Hard" was featured in the video game NBA Live '10.
Rebelution is a California band that mixes reggae and rock, who covered Bob Marley's song "Natural Mystic" on the compilation album Tribute to a Reggae Legend released in July. Forming in 2005, their debut album released in 2007 titled Courage to Grow gamed them heavy radio play in LA with the song "Safe and Sound." Additionally, the album was named the iTunes Editor's Choice for Best Reggae Album of 2007.
After the tour together this year, Zion I and Rebelution kicked off another one tonight in Missouri, and will be coming to Providence on October 29.
This song was a great idea and makes the mixing of their styles sound effortless.
