Intro

“We Just Want To Be (The Graduate ReMix)” is a collaboration between the LowDown Brass Band (LDB) and Chicago based producer Nic the Graduate. Released on Chicago reggae/ska label Happy As A Lark Records,  “We Just Want to Be”, written by saxophonist Chris Neal, was originally the title track for LDB’s 2009 EP. The ReMix elegantly crafted by Nic the Graduate catapults the track to higher ground. With his irie addition of organs, dub effects, and heavy drum sounds the Graduate’s treatment echoes the classic reggae/dub producers of the past such as Lee Scratch Perry, yet still blazes paths forward to the modern day sounds of hip-hop. The track also features a collaboration with Chicago based hip-hop/reggae MC Illuminati Congo and the LDB’s resident MC and long time collaborator Billa Camp. Both Illuminati Congo and Billa Camp masterfully intertwine the world of hip-hop with the groove of the reggae idiom as they trade verses back and forth creating the perfect poetic canvas for the songs theme of living life without restraint and in tune with one’s true nature. Whether the words of Billa Camp, “Don't you be telling me, What it is I shouldn't do, If the way that I'm living is wrong, Then save it I'm not in the mood…” or Illuminati Congo, “All I desire Is taking it higher, If you deny it We burning the fire!”, We Just Want to be is sure to elevate your current state of being so spark up the chalice and enjoy the ride!

"Guy In The Sky" the latest single from Chicago's LowDown Brass Band is yet another example of how this talented collective of musicians are blazing new trails and breaking down genre barriers with their unique sound. The track beautifully blends the groups signature horn sound with the dynamic poetic force of their MC, Billa Camp, and the soulful vocals of Shane Jonas. The track expresses those feelings of being so close to achieving your dreams and what it takes to believe in yourself and take that much needed leap of faith to greatness.

"Destiny (Show Me How)", by LowDown Brass Band explores the intrinsic value of relationships, ambition and fortitude, in the midst of fate. Meaning, how will the tomorrow unfold and how will your cherished assets be influenced or effected by it? The future is filled with unanswered questions we attempt to anticipate. Can we choose our fate or is it meant to be? Destiny!

Destiny (Show Me How)

What price are you willing to pay for a piece of paradise? Or better yet, does paradise even exist? Pursuing ones happiness can be a noble cause but wagering one’s existence for the spoils of life can lead you down a rabbit hole of misperception. What is reality and do you really want to know? Red or Blue Pill?

LowDown Mini Reel #3 (Paradise)

The LowDown Brass Band is a uniquely strong representation of Chicago Music culture. This talented all horn band leans heavily on dancehall and street beat rhythm, with the energy of conscious hip hop, jazz, reggae, and soul.
