Keeping the theme of underground releases…

After collaborations on Silly Puddy and Flow it was only a matter of time before these Bay Area acts, Zion I and The Grouch, (Living Legends) team up to release an album. Entitled, Heroes in the City of Dope , which refers to Oakland and slightly based off a few lines from Too $hort on his 1999 album Life is Too $hort (“a lot of beauty and hope has come out of all the struggles here”).
The album exults a display of different styles, from the ever popular Hyphy sound to politically conscious
lyrics. Production provided by Amp Live (of Zion I), Eligh and The Grouch. Tracklist below:
