Such a fantastic use of 24 dollars. They had a concert at the House of Blues in boston. Zion I opened and it was rediculousssss Soja was pretty sick I hadn't heard them before then but I was pleasently surprised. I didn't dig Rebelution that much didnt really like their flow but I was pretty tired by that point. We left before Rebelution finished. I had been listening to Zion I for a bit before the concert but really only on my laptop so when his first song came on and the bass just hit and I was soooo hyped up. He is a dirty performer and even ended up freestyling back and forth between him and the dude with the braids and kept telling the drummer to up the tempo, and he would just spit faster. NUTS

deffinetly see Soja or Zion I if you have the chance

yeah man thats too bad zion I was ill, kinda felt bad for him though cause you could tell most of the people were there for Soja and Rebelution. Plus like 85% of the crowd near the front was highschoolers just annoying the shit out of me with their "OMGG ITS JACOB, I LOVE YOU!!" chill and vibe to some music kidddd

I saw the show here in Boise, ID. Zion I def. was the best performer, he's got a lot of passion and sick style on stage....It was also like the 6th time I've seen Zion I and its dope everytime. SOJA was also really sick. Not a fan of Rebelution...too whinny and girly....not feeling their style.

SOJA and Zion I should have been the main acts with Rebelution opening.

^ seriously rebelution looked like a pop band that smoked weed and thought they now were part of a reggae or something, definitely whiney I agree they shoulda opened and zion and Soja be the main performances

thats just the singer's style, the quality of the music is there though.

Was at the show last night too. 2nd time I've seen SOJA and they were dope as I expected. Zion I was very ill as well, and got the crowd wicked pumped up. Rebelution was aight....nothing great...the dudes from Rebelution reminded me of Slightly Stoopid

Each time i've seen Zion I they have put on the best live show i've ever seen, blowing all other (more famous and well regarded) hip hop groups i've seen out of the water. Cannot wait fror their Calgary show, i'd go watch them every week if I could.

sweet photo.....coughfailcough. the rebelution bass player was not what i was expecting he was just some smiley white kid with a boston celtics jersey and a backwards hat haha. most likely super high but none the less looked like a chill kid.


Bobby Lee the basist from SOJA is a gaddmnned animal though, never seen a man play the base with the style he did\

I was there in portland too.  It was so tight how they came out and chilled with fans after the show.

So much fun at the Gothic in Denver. I am the biggest fan of Zion I but you gotta respect the other two bands for killing it. And they played the collab encore for over 15 minutes for sure, so sick.

Oh shit, I probably saw you at some point. The security there was being fucking stupid though, they came after us a couple times after we lit up but they never found it.


And to the girl who saw Zion I in Bellingham, was that at the Nightlight?
