A Zion I live show is a sight to behold.  Emcee Zumbi has a stage presence that draws even wall flowers into the mix, and producer AmpLive's beats are sure to rattle the windows.  This year they'll be bringing their top-tier performance to Austin's SXSW music and art festival, putting them in front of some of the world's most rabid music fans.  The music portion of the festival runs from March 18th to the 22nd.  Look for specific performance info here as soon as it's laid out. 

The TakeOver, Zion I's forthcoming album, is already making waves in the digital underground.  The album drops February 17th on Gold Dust.  Check out audio, download a track, and peep the video at http://www.zioni-thetakeover.com.
