SHADOWBOXING
FROM THE BAY
Oakland is a hard place — always has been and ever will stay such, because the Bay, as they say, is the
quintessence of the modern concrete jungle, churning up a bone meal Darwinism of jacked-up nasty that suffers no
goons. Oakland is where John Lee Hooker got the blues, where Huey Newton pistol-whipped the Communist
Manifesto and where Bruce Lee first entered the dragon. The Bay is also the place where hip-hop duo Zion I has plied
its hyphy hip hop for the past 15 years or so, pushing out progressive and positive records that strive to keep pace
with the flux and flow of this particular time-space continuum.
Zion I — whose latest album, Shadowboxing, just touched down Tuesday, Oct. 2 — is the cohesion of producer DJ
AmpLive and MC Zumbi. Since the 1997 Oakland-local drop of their Enter the Woods cassette, and then the 2000
label release of Mind Over Matter, the duo has been garnering critical acclaim for Amp’s inventive, space-agey sounds
and Zumbi’s hard-edged lyrical uplift, nicely exemplified in the ’05 single “The Bay,” a rebel’s yell of Cali pride that is
equal parts social jeremiad and true-grit anthem.
Shadowboxing opens beautifully on a bit of pure corn, with Amp channeling a slice of Jetsons-era futurism (a
Vincent Price voice commands, “Summon up your energy!”) that beams up into the heroic title track. From there, the
album weaves up and over mountains of agitpop (the fantastic “Joe Frazzzier”) and through valleys of woo and
confession (“Life’s Work [ft. Goapele]” and “Anymore”). Zumbi’s honeycombed voice has never sounded so bright
and sharp; his cadences zip and flow with enviable precision, and his lines are elevated by the juicy buoyancy and
fuzzy tectonics of Amp’s production. A deeply layered and well-wrought album by a pair of veteran musicians,
Shadowboxing might be Zion I’s most sophisticated work yet.
Zion I and Minnesota play 9 pm Tuesday, Oct. 16, at WOW Hall; $15 adv., $18 door. — Rick Levin
