Want a declaration? Listen to guest star Brother Ali on “Invitation”: “Our heroes are us—the only super power required is love, so we invite you to become heroes in the healing of a nation.” And so begins Zion I & The Grouch’s sophomore album, Heroes in the Healing of the Nation, the Bay Area Hip-Hop trio comprised of the Grouch, Zumbi, and Amplive. It’s an ambitious undertaking to try and galvanize, inspire and embrace the “struggling peoples of world” through music and a unifying concept of love, but listen to “It’s Goin Down” or “Be A Father to Your Child” and you’ll realize the type of ascendance we’re talking.
