Los Angeles hardcore band Zulu have unleashed their new single and video, Where I’m From. The clip was influenced by A Tribe Called Quest‘s iconic music video for Scenario and brings the spirit of the original to a new generation. Shot, directed, and edited by guitarist Dez Yusuf, Zulu‘s video features a cameo from comedian Eric Andre, as well as appearances from Soul Glo‘s Pierce Jordan and Playytime‘s Obioma Ugonna. Both Jordan and Ugonna deliver guest features that complement the dynamic vocal delivery from frontperson Anaiah Lei and drummer Christine Cadette. The riff-ready track serves as the second single, following Fakin’ Tha Funk (You Get Did), from the band’s forthcoming album, A New Tomorrow, that is set for release on March 3rd via Flatspot Records.

A New Tomorrow marks Zulu‘s first full-length that follows on from a brace of EPs, 2019’s Our Day Will Come and 2020’s My People..Hold On. Taking on the task of self-producing the record, Zulu immersed themselves in collaborator Zach Tuch‘s studio in the valley. After spending months toying with different instrumentation and samples, and pulling influences ranging from reggae to death metal, the result is an eclectic 15 tracks. The band will be hitting the road in February with Show Me The Body, Jesus Piece, Scowl and TRiPP JONES, followed by multiple festival appearances across the US and Europe including New Jersey’s Adjacent Festival and the UK’s Outbreak Fest.
