Description:
* Two of Cali's most respected hip-hop acts come together to make a classic album on OM's offshoot hiphop label , transcending beyond the traditional west coast sound. Hailing from Oakland, California; "Heroes in the City of Dope' tells the story of two individuals lives in one of the most drug and poverty infested regions of the world as they rise above the violence and temptations of the hood.
* One of the most refreshing hip-hop albums to emerge in years. Bay Area stalwarts Zion I and Living Legends member The Grouch have created a record that will have heads hyphy, uplifted, and pondering social ills-all at the same time.
* Featuring Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), Martin Luther (Roots), Esthero, Headnodic (Crown City Rockers) & More!!
* While tracks like "Current Affairs" tackle the issues of the Homeland Security Act and the diminishing rights of everyday citizens,simple bangin track "Hit Em," (featuring Bay Area Hyphy emcee Mistah F.A.B.) demonstrates the Oakland based crew are too varied and versatile to be relegated to conscious hip-hop. What's more, this album shows that producer Amp Live can rock a jazz inflected or a hyphy beat.

* Zion named Best Independent Album of the Year 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005 by the Source magazine! Voted Best Bay Area hip-hop group by the SF Weekly 2005.
* Zion I have toured with the likes of: Del the Funky Homosapien, De La Soul, Jurassic 5, the Roots & More!
* Recommended for fans of: Living Legends, Hieroglyphics, Talib Kweli, De La Soul, Mistah Fab, Martin Luther, Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, Jurrasic Five, Aceyalone &Freestyle Fellowship .
