Zion I – The Sun Came Out
Perhaps it’s just me, but 2010 seems to have been a fairly weak year for good Hip-Hop. I’m just now starting to come up with my “Best Of” lists and there’s not a lot of Hip-Hop that’s coming to mind. Thankfully, there is this fairly recent release from Bay Area stalwarts Zion I, which I feel like is a marked improvement over 2009’s The Takeover, a record that a lot of people seemed to dig, but left me wanting something better. “The Sun Came Out” erases any lackluster feelings I had about this group, and makes this album worth a listen all on its own.
