Artist Bio: Zion
Born and raised where concrete meets creativity, Zion is a 28-year-old African-American lyricist whose pen bleeds perspective. Hailing from the inner city streets of Baltimore, he came up in the chaos but never lost his clarity. Zion doesn’t just rap — he speaks truth. His verses flow like a journal with a beat, blending sharp realism with a hopeful heartbeat.
​
Known for his uncanny ability to shift tone — dropping lines soft as butterflies one moment and crashing like waterfalls the next — Zion’s artistry walks the line between poet and prophet. Every track he touches pulses with soul and substance. He’s seen pain, lived pressure, and turned it into purpose.
​
A student of classic hip-hop but unapologetically modern, Zion fuses boom-bap honesty with trap-era energy. His music often reflects where he came from, but it’s more about where his people can go. Uplifting, gritty, and unfiltered, his message is clear: you can rise even when the world tells you to fall.
​
From underground battles to studio booths, from street corners to sold-out venues, Zion’s voice carries more
than flow — it carries faith, fire, and foundation. In every verse, there’s victory. In every line, legacy. His
breakout single, “Royal Standards.” Zion isn’t just rapping. He’s leading a movement.
