Zumbi (of Zion I) - Infinite
Artist: Zumbi (of Zion I)
Producer: Lee Bannon
Album: The Science of Breath (Volume 4)
Label: Live Up Records
They say that in the Bay they do things a little different, and if the hip-hop that comes out of the Northern California region is any indication, that saying has a lot of truth to it. Just take Zumbi, one half of the always fresh duo Zion I, and his new track Infinite. While Lee Bannon drops a beat that echoes with spacey synths and hazy production, Zumbi drops a flow that crashes into and then withdraws from the track with abstract lines that are still rooted in the streets: “For the lost souls, cold at the crossroads, we in the changeover, get ya heart warm.” I think it’s safe to say you don’t hear music like this every day, but will Booth readers find it too left field for their liking? I anxiously await their response. Infinite is off Zumbi’s fantastically titled upcoming mixtape The Science of Breath (Vol. 4), set to drop November, 24.

Nathan thinks people will find this record a little to "left field." Me? Not so much. This record is bananas.

Loved his "Geek to the beat" video, not sure if it was this dude or the other guy in Zion I, looks like him but doesn't really sound like him. Don't feel like this is that much left field but don't enjoy it much either.

Zion I's one of those groups that I watched come up from my Bay Area resident days, and they always comes correct. I'll be honest, Zumbi's done better tracks than this, but even so he's more gifted than 90% of the rappers out there. Support creative hip-hip people.

This is different from anything else I've heard in a long while, and kinda catchy. A lush sound with futuristic synths to Arabic sounding flute, add wicked metaphorical lyricism delivered by Zumbi and what you have is a joint that will rattle your trunk and your train of thought simultaneously. BANGER!!!

The music is creative and easy on the ear. Unfortunately the lyrics don't seem to flow or match nicely.
