Just as the pandemic was beginning to shut everything down back in March of 2020, Donnie Seals of Digife captured Tall Black Guy and I creating and recording in the studio for three consecutive days. We were working through sessions and material that would result in our first collaborative album, Abstractions.
Take a glance behind the scenes at how we work together, our process and how we joined creative forces in episode two of three.

If you happen to check the documentary In Our Mothers’ Gardens via Netflix, you miiiight run into some familiar music in the form of “Greater Than The Sun” (feat. Phonte).

We spoke about everything from my background, to left vs. right hand dominance, favorite tour highlights, all the way to the shift our lives have taken as a result of this current pandemic. Dope conversation, check it out…

So, check it out… I have built and now launched a brand new store!! This has been 3 months in the making ….and I would NOT recommend building a store while attempting to finish a bunch of music either.
Be sure to bookmark the new spot!
A couple things real quick:
• Reward points from the previous store are waiting for you! Just go to the new spot, click the Zo! Rewards tab in the bottom right hand corner and click “Join Now”.
• Create a new account with the email you’ve used to order before and your points should appear – if not, let me know.
• Previously earned personal $10 discount codes will still work in the new store. Everything earned is still there! To celebrate everything, 20% off sitewide! (until April 5th @ 3a EST)
The service hasn’t changed. Still getting orders out same or next business day. I appreciate y’all!!
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.”
