Evento

Zion I, Equipto, High Step Society, Vocab Slick, and Eric Skutch

With more than two-dozen albums, mixtapes, EPs and vibrant collaborations, the Oakland based MC/Producer Zion I (a.k.a. Zumbi) is in the top echelon, as far as conscious party-rocking hip-hop. After years of collaboration with producer Amp Live and DJ K-Genius and other notables, the Oakland-based rapper/ songwriter has evolved as an independent touring artist.

His progressive stay-true-to-the-core lyricism is uniquely embraced across all genres of music and his collaborations, with some of the greatest in the industry, is an evolutionary norm for Zion I. From the reggae-rock giants Rebelution, to hip-hop nostalgia Too Short, along with Devin The Dude and The Roots MC, Black Thought, to EDM DJ extraordinaire, Bassnectar, heavy hitting rockers Linkin Park and alternative rock/reggae-rapper Matisyahu, Zion I continues to impress with soulful goods.

When the honeyed tones of The Jazz Age meld with hottest beat drops of the new millennium, you get High Step Societys elixir of live Electro Swing.

Equipto is a member of Bored Stiff, a hip hop group from San Francisco. He has collaborated with other artists such as Andre Nickatina, Berner.

Vocab Slick isEmcee for the Bay Area Hip Hop group Distant Relatives (est.2003) , and 1/2 of the group The Juxtones..song writer and human being.

Eric Skutch will add a little local flair to this amazing lineup with his live elctronic set.
