Dal foundation al new roots , passando per il rub a dub ed il raggamuffin fino ad arrivare al bashment ed alla dancehall piu' mondana : BoomDaBash calca dapprima le yard salentine e poi quelle dello stivale offrendo pura reggae music in tutte le salse , alternando e mescolando bene divertimento e consciousness , ma mai confondendoli .

Dopo l'incontro con uno dei padri della reggae music italiana , Treble a.k.a. Lu professore , BoomDaBash da il via ai lavori per realizzazione del debut album del duo , puntando a dare vita ad un progetto di produzione che porti una ventata d'aria fresca nel panorama della penisola .
