The name Zo! is one that SoulBouncers should be very familiar with. We have covered his music extensively over the years – from his solo efforts to his work with The Foreign Exchange and other artists – and evolved beyond fans into family. Zo! has a new album entitled Abstractions on the way in conjunction with Tall Black Guy that we already know will go into immediate heavy rotation based on the first two singles, “Talkin’ To Myself” and “Hold My Hand.”
