Zion I & Minnesota: Amid the fray of a growing underground scene in Oakland, an avant-garage partnership was formed between MC Zumbi and DJ Amplive.

Joining Zion I on their “Shadowboxing Tour,” electronic producer Minnesota adds a chillwave skeleton to Zion I’s underground closet of electrifying jazz-infused beats, classic 90’s hip-hop throwbacks, and lyrical cadences that will send a shiver down your undulating spine. $14 in advance, $19 at door.
