Rest in Peace to one of my musical idols. Baba Zumbi, Stephen Gaines. The legendary Rapper and MC, and one half of the rap duo Zion i.
These two artists represented to me what the pinnacle of hip hop is. Two conscious as fuck lyricists who knew how to got down and go stupid too. Bay area legends who have shaped and showed me that I had a place as a fan of Hip Hop.
This episode is dedicated to Zumbi so we will be diving into Zion I's catalog to honor and relive his legacy.
