Behind the music...

Although there are only a select few (Curren$y, for one) who have directly solicited the opinions of their most supportive fans by throwing listening parties prior to an album's release. After attending Zion I's listening party for their upcoming album Atomic Clock, it is obvious that this is the best route to really reach the heart of the fanbase. Held at The New Parish in Oakland, the party also featured appearances by Bang Data and Teeko (who just may have the fastest fingers in the West). Not to mention, after having met with each of the artists, we can honestly say that you would not meet a more humble and gracious group of guys. Be sure to scoop Atomic Clock, dropping November 9th.
