Long-time collaborators The Grouch & Eligh, formerly of the Living Legends collective, have teamed up with electronic music sensation Pretty Lights for their new song and video “All These Lights”. Directed by Sean Michael Williams and Gus Winkelman and produced by Hubtuit, the video debuts a new technique called “lyric-lapsing.” Users of Vine may recognize similarities in the look and feel of the video, but G&E explain- “its much more than that, it’s a combination of stop motion and time lapsing techniques shot with our lyrics synced up simultaneously. For every second of video we did 24 takes, each take being slightly different from the previous. It’s difficult to explain but basically, you have to see it!” The collaboration was honed after the duo met Pretty Lights, a long-time G&E fan, in his home of Colorado. “We had a good rapport,” Grouch notes of meeting PL, and the trio united to challenge both of their core sounds. “All These Lights” is available for download via iTunes, Amazon, or Google Play.

Zion I and The Grouch will join forces for a second time with the March 22 release of Heroes In The Healing Of The Nation. A follow-up to Heroes In The City of Dope, the album will focus on issues facing the entire country, rather than just their own backyard, produced entirely by Amp Live (with one track from Eligh).

“Anyone changing other peoples lives for the better is a hero to me” explains The Grouch of the album’s title. “People are going through a difficult transition these days,” adds Zumbi. “We want this album to aid in that process.”

Guests appearing on the project include Fashawn, Casual, Freeway, Silk E, Mystik, Soljah, K.Flay, Marty James & more.

“How The Grouch Stole Christmas” theme song live at The Wild Buffalo in Bellingham, Washington. Featuring The Grouch, Brother Ali, Eligh and Los Rakas. The theme song was produced by the by Rhymesayers.

Second video from The Grouch’s 2009, “Three Eyes Off The Time”. Video by Matt Hobbs for Vital Films.

The Grouch speaks on the release of his new track, “Weight Of The World” taken from his forthcoming LP, Three Eyes Off The Time. He felt the urgency to release it now, with Guru’s passing, as it incorporates lines from “Who’s Gonna Take The Weight”. He writes:

Guru from Gang Starr passed today. It’s also 4/20 so people are saying things like “Take two and pass” on Twitter and other internet outlets today. Sometimes I get feeling that that behavior is mainly to be cute or the first to report. All of a sudden Gang Starr is a bunch of peoples favorite group etc. That’ll last until maybe this evening. It saddens me to think about how folks have to die these days to be a current topic or “#trendingtopic” of conversation and get a little love (I believe that’s what all of us are really searching for.)

I’m not posting the song “just to get a rep” for myself but I believe that the timing is ironic as I was planning to drop it within the next couple of days anyway. I think the subject matter is appropriate for this situation as well as countless others we are presently dealing with. R.I.P. Guru

The Grouch – “Weight Of The World” (MP3)

New track from the full length album Return 2 The Love. In February, a 6 track EP was released with the same title. The plan at that time was to release the Free EP and continue to work on the album titled Return To Eternia. But as it turned out they had more tracks then expected for the Free EP, and after the release of it, they had enough tracks for a full release. Only a few tracks on the Free EP appear on the full length album. Check out this track below featuring The Grouch.
