In their recent In the Mix interview Bay Area duo Zion I said that their new music would be driven by a looser, rawer energy than some of their past work, and those qualities are instantly evident on Polarity, a stand out record from their new album Atomic Clock. Amp Live, the production half of Zion, blends together a smoothie of a beat, not only bringing together live sounding percussion, jazz horns, distorted sound effects and what just might be a xylophone on the back end, but making them all go down smoothly. On the mic side of the equation, Zion frontman Zumbi introduces the song’s polarized concept with a deep verse, followed by a strong showing from fellow Yay Area representative Locksmith (shouts to Richmond) and a spitfire flow from Macklemore (of Otherside fame). The world may indeed be made up of opposites, but this one is pretty one-sided – it’s just dope. If you’re digging Polarity, I promise you’ll be pleased with Zion I’s new, extremely precise album Atomic Clock, available everywhere good music can be found right now.

"Polarity" is def a stand out cut from the EXCELLENT brand new album from Zion I. If this does the trick for your eardrums, I suggest scooping up a copy of the project. Good times, indeed.

Im really feeling this from Zoin l. The chorus is great. The verses are very smooth and makes it such a nice listen. The prodcution from AmpLive is excellent. Im looking forward to hearing more from Zion l.

This track was my introduction to Zion I and I must say I'm impressed. Solid production that seems to mix a little old soul in with modern percussion. Lyrically the "selling their soul to hear me converse" line gets my vote for best bars. I'm downloading this joint.
