I first met Z-Man in NY at a press lunch for Little Brother when I was editing Complex. We had a lot of Bay fam in common – Hiero, Trunks, True Justice, etc – but I wasn’t too up on his music at the time.
As soon as we sat down to eat I got that vibe from Z. I knew I was dining with a rockstar.
Fast forward all these years later, he’s finally getting some light as a member of One Block Radius alongside Marty James and MDA. Word is spreading that they’ve signed with Island Def Jam. The sound is universal, there’s something very pop about this underground sensation.
Check the tunes at their myspace page, preview a video/photo montage for ‘You Got Me’ here on youtube, or go to their artist page on MTV.com.
