Houston icon Z-Ro announces final album ‘No Love Boulevard’ out June 30th

Houston music icon Z-Ro (@ZROMOCITYDONis on that short list of artists who can lay claim to 21 albums and still being on top of his game. His contribution to music as an individual and as part of the pioneering Screwed Up Click is beyond question. His voice and lyrics have impacted joints from the West to the East and his name will always carry weight in Hip-Hop.

Z-Ro has a story that you just wouldn’t believe and since he’s announced his last album, I wanted to remember a part of our history with the legend and re-share a 2015 #LiveSession interview we did…man the history he laid out…you’ve got to hear it because the more things change…the more they stay the same in the entertainment industry.  Tune into the full conversation below

HOUSTON ICON Z-RO ANNOUNCES FINAL ALBUM
NO LOVE BOULEVARD OUT JUNE 30th
PRE-ORDER LIVE TODAY
WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BELONG TO THE STREETS”
PRODUCER AND HOST OF IHEART RADIO’S NEW POLITICAL TALK SHOW ANGRY JUSTICE

After two legendary decades in the game, Houston hip-hop icon Z-Ro unveils his 21st and final album, No Love Boulevard [One Deep Entertainment/EMPIRE], in stores and at all digital retailers on Friday June 30th.

The pre-order is live HERE.

In advance of the release, he premieres the music video for the new single “Belong to the Streets” today. Over an expansive beat, Z-Ro delivers bold and bulletproof bars before soulfully carrying the hook, “My heart belongs to the streets.” It’s evocative of the Texas style he pioneered and the airtight rhyming that cemented his status as a true icon.

Watch the cinematic video

From the confessional chaos of “Lost My Mind” to the darkness of “Devil in Me” and blockbuster conclusion on “He’s Not Done,” No Love Boulevard sees Z-Ro in top form, exiting at the height of his mic prowess. Check out the full tracklisting below.

In addition, Z-Ro recently launched his own iHeart Radio Show “Angry Justice” alongside co-host and former police officer, Harvard-educated attorney, and judge Charles “Big Angry” Adams. Discussing controversial issues with no holds barred and sharp and smart perspectives on both sides, the program airs 4-6pm every Saturday. Since debuting in April, it’s brought the “Texas Odd Couple” into the national spotlight to a massive audience. Check out past episodes HERE.

No Love Boulevard follows the impressive 2016 one-two punch of Drankin’ & Drivin’ and Legendary. Of Drankin’ & Drivin’Pitchfork wrote, “Z-Ro sounds like what Houston feels like—hot, inviting, intimidating if you take a wrong turn, but redemptive if you stick around long enough,” and VIBE said, “Texas veteran Z-Ro has just added another chapter to his growing catalog. It’s 2016, and his impact on hip-hop culture is undeniable. Everyone from A$AP Rocky to Drake—who has been known to perform Z-Ro’s classic freestyle “Mo City Don”—have been influenced by the Houston legend.”
