The newZ of 2002

See what went down with the Z in the year 2002.

1/26/02 - Whut up!! This is El Bobo Rey, your Webmasta, with the very FIRST update for the new site!! Uhh, boy!!! First of all, I would like to welcome all of those that have ventured to the site to peep it. Here is a list of things set to go down:

1) Constantly improving on the site. I will hopefully get up a message board, chat room, and more sections on the site in the next week.

2) Completion of songs. We have a few songs in the works that need to polished off. We want these to be perfect, so please have patience!! In the meantime, check out our finished song, "Break It Off", on our MP3 site.

Those are the major operations for right now. I will post an update here whenever something gets completed or some major news goes down. Peace out, and I hope you enjoy our group!!!


2/26/02 - Whut up peeps? I know, I know. It has been a LONG ASS TIME since I updated. Well, I'm sorry, but I can't update you on anything unless there's something to say. And now there is. I just finished the Biography section of the site and it is up on the main page. Peep it. Also, our producing is coming along at a steady, albeit, slow pace. Mike is writing some of the tightest beats I've ever heard, and I'm very happy with the rhymes I'm cranking out. Soon, shit will hit the fan. Patience...


2/4/02 - What's up?!?! Sorry for the long delay home doggs, college is a busy place!! But here are the updates: I finally got up a counter, guestbook, and message board!! Be sure to check those out and use them. More shiz-naught should be comin soon! Peace.


3/10/02 - How's it going my foolios? I know, things are going slow, but you have to understand that the group is in TWO different cities. So it is hard to collabarate. But fear not! Our Spring Breaks overlap, from March 16th to March 25th, and we are planning to record as much as possible during that time period. Then V can refine it and put it on the MP3 site. In the meantime, I've just put up a new links section so enjoy!!


3/25/02 - HOLLA!!! What is the DL fools?!?!? Okay, the skiz-noop is here. Over Spring Break, we recorded TWO new songs!! "Welcome to the Time" and "Look Out" are off the hook, so when V puts them on the MP3 site, peep them!! Also, anyone living in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area, you are in for a treat! Z Effective sent in a sample CD to The River radio station for their upcoming Battle of the Bands contest. And we got in!! We will be competing Sunday night, March 31st, at the Ranch Bowl! If we win, we move to the next round, but that won't be for awhile. So come see us in action! Peace out!


4/7/02 - Word from the Underground!! Here is the news that is to be reported.

Unfortunately, Z Effective did not win the first round of the Battle of the Bands, but it was still a fun time!! We got performing and stage experience, and that always helps. The 2 new songs we recorded should be nearly done converting to MP3 format and be on the MP3 site soon. I have some pictures from the Ranch Bowl Battle of the Bands that I will try and get up ASAP. This upcoming summer is when we'll start working like whut, so be on the lookout. And on a personal note, Twiztid's new "Mirror Mirror" album drops this Teusday, peep it. EBR out.


4/25/02 - Sup PEEPS!!! Here are some updates for that fat chicken neck ta snack on!! ( A little ICP for ya)

A chat room has FINALLY been added to the site!! Go check out the 'Sphere!! And "Welcome to the Time," one of the new hit songs, is on the MP3 site!!! Check this shit NOW!!! It is hotness!! And this summer is when the real shit gets going, so keep your head on radar for that. Peace, nugga.


4/26/02 - YO YO YO!! Another quick update!! I've finally added some of those pictures from the Battle of the Bands at the Ranch Bowl. There is one on the home page, and one in each of the bios. I will try and setup a seperate pics gallery soon. Peace!!


8/16/02 - OH MY GOD!!! NEWS?!?! YOU GOTTA BE SHITTIN' ME? WOW, THERE REALLY IS!!!! Yes, after almost 4 MONTHS there is finally an update!! First, allow me to appologize for the longest delay in the world. The summer came and stuff just kinda got stuck. Mike was working full time this summer, so time was limited. However, on a good note, he made enought fat cash to buy himself a Technics!! For those that don't know, that is a HELLA nice DJ turntable. But anyway, Mike was busy, and me and Joe just kinda chilled. But we recently got together a few times and laid down some stuff. You see, we are not in any hurry. We want quality over quantity. Mike is slowly constructing the beats so that they're perfect, all the while adding to our old songs to make them better. And we can't rush the lyrics cause we want them to be excellent. This is a year plan, so be patient. As we speak, Mike is putting the finishing touches on our Demo Tape! This tape will include maybe 4 or 5 songs. We will have around 100 and will be giving them to various friends as well as sending them to some radio stations and maybe even record companies. I just wanted to let everyone know we are still here and we ain't goin' nowhere baby!! PEACE!!


9/23/02 - HOLLA HOLLA WHUT!!! This is dat lid-flippin kid, EBR on the siz-een!! How goes it? This is how it goes:

I got word from the V-Man that he hopes to complete ALL the beats for the album by Christmas!! He will probably tweak them afterwards, but the skeletons will be in place. He is working like a damn-ed mule, cranking out these phat beats at unbelievable speeds, and I throw large props at him ( I hope you can catch, Mike!). Over Christmas Break, we will record as much as possible, and hopefully get in a few live shows as well! Then next summer, touches will be finished, ends will be tied, and the biggity-boom bomb that is Z Effective will drop on your skull so hard, the reverberations will make your Great Unlce's son's head explode! Just hang in there! Patience is a virtue...


10/20/02 - WERDZ!!! Another up-to-tha-date! First, my birthday was on the 15th. Motherfuckin' 20!! But more importantly, I went home this weekend, and Michael Vicious was also chillin' at home. He placed in my hands a little taste of the phatness he is making. I have a CD of the beats nearly in their completion: OH MY PHATNESS! He is a genius! Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed with this album! Just the beats by themselves are enough to get 5 mics in the Source! Also, if you would kindly travel to the MP3 site, there are a few treats in store for you, just in time for Halloween! Peace out, and patience foolios!


11/20/02 - LETTERZ!!! For all the Z*E fans, your patience is going to pay off!! Soon approaches Turkey Day and the week off of school that goes with it. During this time, the giants gears behind Z*E will turn a little bit more and be that much more closer to completion!! Soon....

But until then, to tide you over, we have a Battle Rap on our hands!! For all the info on what's going on, please just head to the B-Izz-Oard!! If this dude shows up, it should be fun!! Peace out, foolios.
