At last! West Coast hip-hop stalwarts Zion I & The Grouch return with their sophomore collaborative effort Heroes in the Healing of the Nation, in stores March 22, 2011. The long-awaited follow-up to the group's 2006 critically acclaimed Heroes in the City of Dope could not arrive at a more fitting hour. This time around Z&G raise the stakes to expand the playing field from City to Nation, inviting listeners everywhere to join them on their quest in channeling their highest selves.

Zion I & The Grouch are excited to announce a nationwide tour, starting March 19 at the historic Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. The trio, long since known for tackling weighty topics, are donating 100% of all ticketing fees sold through ZioniAndTheGrouch.com to local community organizations. The group has partnered up with different community organizations in every city, and they have chosen Acrosports for their hometown show at the Fillmore on March 19th.

“Touching people with our music is the main thing we can do," explains The Grouch of the motive behind the donations, "but contributing in a monetary way is taking things to the next level.”

"This album is intended to stimulate positive change in people's lives," says Zumbi. "Whether that be a smile during hard times, or a shift in perspective, the idea is that we help to facilitate a soulful healing session. This record is like a massage for the mind, body, and spirit."

Acrosports is a non-profit organization whose mission is to teach and develop the physical, performing arts, including capoeira and break dancing. "We commit ourselves to serving our community in a safe, positive environment, offering activities that encourage teamwork and build strengths and self-esteem, and enhancing life's experience." Acrosports will be performing capoeira and break dancing at the show before Zion I & The Grouch hit the stage.

The Healing of the Nation Tour also features Blu, and The Jacka on select dates, with The Shotgun Wedding Quintet (San Francisco's own Jazz Mafia collective) opening each show. Heroes in the Healing of the Nation features Freeway, Roy Ayers, Fashawn, Casual, Mystic, Eric Rachmany, Jacob Hemphill of Soja, Eligh, Marty James, Los Rakas, Codany Holiday, and the R.O.D Project and is due out March 22, 2011.
