Only two weeks removed from the release of their new album, Heroes In The Healing Of The Nation, trio Zion I & The Grouch are excited to unveil the video for the album’s second single, “Drop It On the 1.” In addition to the new video, Z&G are readying the second leg of what has been a nearly sold out “Heal the Nation Tour,” with dates coming up throughout the Midwest and East Coast throughout April and into early May (more info found below). For the tour, Zion I & The Grouch have partnered with local organizations in each city, donating a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales on their website.

Having just completed the first leg of the tour, Zumbi had this message to fans: “Respect family! We’ve just returned from the first leg of the Healing of the Nation Tour, and the response has been overwhelming. Shows have been selling out left and right, confirming that the positive intention we put into the album is resounding with the people. Big up! Today we wanted to give y’all more to chew on with the “Drop It On the 1″ video! The homey Pete laced us with a great edit of an impromptu studio session, which ended up looking super fresh. Click the jump and enjoy the clip. The 2nd half of the Healing of the Nation Tour starts again in a little over a week, so Midwest and East Coast prepare for landing. Bless and see you soon!”
