ZICO on the Block

Nineteen tracks of unpolished, hungry underground hip-hop. Dusty boom-bap loops and aggressive flows from an artist before the high-gloss pop stardom.

Before the charts and the viral dances, there was just a kid with a terrifyingly fast flow and a basement mic.

A relentless and gritty display of technical skill fueled by a desire for underground validation.
