NEW! THE ZRO HOUR Podcast S06E15 with CYMARSHALL LAW

Great music this week and a long awaited guest makes an appearance on THE ZRO HOUR. The first spotlight artist to be featured on THEZROHOUR.COM, CYMARSHALL LAW, calls in for a first time interview with the show. I have steadily dropped many of Cymarshall Law's freestyles and songs from his last three albums and firmly believe him to be one of the leaders of the next movement in hip hop. Cop his new release "CREATOR's KID" EP on itunes and amazon.com.

I premiere new tracks by FREEWAY & JAKE ONE, MURS & 9TH WONDER, JOELL ORTIZ & NOVEL, REFLECTION ETERNAL, GORILLAZ feat, DE LA SOUL and SNOOP DOGG & KID CUDI. Classics from GANGSTARR and SADAT X round out the show.
