About the Album: In a time when the prevailing narrative about young people in Oakland is that they are “wildin’ out” or “out of control,” BLACK LOVE provides an oasis of culture with a musical tapestry centered on Black love, self expression, and invites the listener to reimagine what you feel about Black and Brown youth based in Oakland, California. Led by Kingmakers Music artist ZO 1, BLACK LOVE is in the vein of a 2024 version of Digable Planets because of it’s jazz sensibilities, Miseducation of Ms. Lauryn Hill with its melodies steeped in cultural lyrics of hope, and it’s uniquely relevant, fly, with an authentic Oakland-Bay Area Sound that slaps and brings a vibe that is fresh air to the ears and the soul.
