Zion I was in the middle of filming a video for “Calm Down” in July when MC Zumbi and his entourage were robbed at gunpoint. Although the suspects managed to get away with $90,000 worth of camera gear, Zumbi and the rest of the crew were able to walk away with something much more valuable — their lives.
Now, five months after the terrifying ordeal, Zion I is back with the fresh black-and-white visual and a whole new perspective.
“Calm Down is a special project because we as a crew filming it were forced to make good out of a terrible turn of events,” Zumbi tells HipHopDX. “While shooting initially in West Oakland, we were robbed of $90,000 worth of gear, basically the DP’s Red camera. We were faced with the choice of either giving up or finding a way to turn it into positive energy somehow.
