After delving into upbeat, electronic music on 2009's The Takeover, Oakland hip-hop stalwarts Zion I enter a new phase of their chameleonic career with Atomic Clock (November 9th, Gold Dust), a moody, emotional record inspired by the group's longtime admiration for reggae and dub.

While the group's roots are still firmly planted in hip-hop, Atomic Clock's cavernous, atmospheric vibe recalls both the classic roots reggae of Max Romeo and The Congos and forward-thinking dub mixing of UK artists such as Adrian Sherwood. "The Takeover was a very external record and we wanted to focus on fun, party music," says emcee Zumbi. "This one is much more reflective and internal. We didn't want to just recreate what we did last album. Art is not about living in the past."

[OkayDoood]

btw, y'all need to use the album as a vehicle for your live shows, or sell a whole mess of digital downloads, cause music's changing, man. traditional record releases don't go big like they used to... oh! i got the solution: sell ViNYL for the hipster junkies! Cut the record into a weird shape, or color it gold and call it limited edition!
