As we reported in November 2008 it’s been two years already since Bay Area Hip-Hop veterans Zion I [DJ AmpLive & MC Zion] released the acclaimed collaboration album with The Grouch of Living Legends “Heroes In The City Of Dope.”
In that same update we re-capped with two tracks from “Heroes In The City Of Dope” for download. The duo and The Grouch linked up with Mistah F.A.B. for Hit ‘Em and also Trains & Planes both produced by AmpLive.
As well as that we informed you that Zion I were gearing up to release their latest album “The TakeOver” via Gold Dust / Live Up who released a Sampler with the lead single from “The TakeOver” Juicy Juice on there.
As if that wasn’t enough we gave you a free mixtape that consisted of innovative tracks including remixes, verses and interpretations of/by the likes of Santogold, Public Enemy, Talib Kweli & more. “The Search And The Seizure” is available once again below for stream or download and is not to be missed.

Today we are back with news, media and a confirmed release date for “The TakeOver.” The new album will be out on February 17th via Gold Dust and features the new single “DJ DJ” which can be heard below. “DJ DJ” is a forward thinking homage to the backbone of hip-hop, the DJ. Zion I consistently prove that they know their history, but keep their eyes on the future.
