NEW! THE ZRO HOUR Podcast S06E06
THE ZRO HOUR continues to bring you the best in hip hop! I got great responses from last week's show and this week should continue the love. New music from RAKIM, OBIE TRICE, BLACK THOUGHT, ROYCE DA 5'9", LUPE FIASCO and MASTA ACE & ED OG (A&E). I backed them up with classics by REDMAN, DIGABLE PLANETS and ERIC B. & RAKIM to round it out.
The featured interview this week is with one of ATL's finest, SENOR KAOS! Regular visitors to THEZROHOUR.COM and listeners of the podcast have been exposed to Senor Kaos' sharp, witty and heartfelt flow on tracks such as "Girls Rock Too", the De La Soul homage "20 Years High & Rising" and "Mr. Hollywood". High Water Music's Senor Kaos is one of the hardest working emcees today, collaborating with many of the best artists in the current indie hip hop scene. His blog, THEKAOSEFFECT.COM, is slick, informative and grants insight into the mind of a true soldier for hip hop.
Enjoy the show!

BEKAY Releases HUNGER PAINS
Brooklyn emcee, BEKAY, has appeared on THE ZRO HOUR podcast as a guest and has long been supported on the blog. I previously dropped "Brooklyn Bridge" (feat. Masta Ace) and "I Am" (feat. DJ Revolution) on recent episodes of THE ZRO HOUR podcast. This week, Coalmine Records released his follow up to "The Horror Flick LP"- "HUNGER PAINS". With gritty lyrics and classic boom-bap, the album features production from the likes of Alchemist, Marco Polo, Shuko, Illmind, DJ Babu, BeanOne, Street Orchestra and includes features from R.A. the Rugged Man, Masta Ace, Heltah Skeltah, Wordsworth, Saigon, Dilated Peoples and more. Be on the look out for his current single, "Bloodsport", with the video coming soon. I was in the house for Bekay's album release party last night at Brooklyn's Sputnik and had a chance to celebrate with the big homie. Bekay always brings the same energy that you hear on record to the stage. If you have the stomach for venomous lyrics from the mind of one of BK's illest, go out and satisfy your "HUNGER PAINS"-
