Deep Water Slang V2.0 is a studio album by Zion I. It was released by Raptivism Records in 2003. It peaked at number 49 on the BillboardIndependent Albums chart.[1]
Scott Thill of AllMusic gave the album 2 out of 5 stars, writing, "This Berkeley-based (big ups, Cal Bears!) underground hip-hop duo's sophomore effort is chock-full of their usual lyrical hooks and flows, but as with much product released by those looking to make their way in the bling-bling marketplace, it suffers somewhat in the production department."[2] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! wrote, "Even now, when people are becoming more open to experimentation in hip-hop, it's rare to see such a diverse album still easily identified as hip-hop."[4] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club praised "a heightened sense of political consciousness."[5]
