After back to back sold out performances at The Hamilton,  Washington DC’s top live venue, Junior Marvin’s Force One and Nappy Riddem are ready to take the Foundation To Creation show on the road for the rest of the year. Junior Marvin left his solo career to join Bob Marley & The Wailers after turning down an offer from Stevie Wonder on the very same date, February 14th, 1977.  This June sees the tour head to North Carolina, Alabama and New York, and to promote these shows, both Junior Marvin and Nappy Riddem are releasing a new song and a live video.

A positive, uplifting reggae party is always a good time, and the track “Bad Mind People” delivers the goods, complete with a rocking guitar solo by Junior Marvin.  With the new track comes a Bad Mind People music video with live footage from The Hamilton and other shows.  Nappy Riddem has a freshly mastered live recording and video of their deeply conscious reggae-soul tune “I Wish.”

The Foundation To Creation Tour featuring Junior Marvin’s Force One and Nappy Riddem are eager to set-up interviews, free downloads, features and radio play for the June tour dates.  Both artists are available for interviews upon request.  A download link is provided for a folder full of press assets, music, admat posters and more.  

UPCOMING TOUR DATES:
June 19th – The Blind Tiger, Greensboro, NC
June 20th – Asheville Music Hall, Asheville, NC
June 21st – Carribean Jerk Fest, Birmingham, AL
June 26th – Brooklyn Bowl, New York, NY
June 28th – Stephen Talkhouse, Amagansett, NY


Nappy Riddem | "I Wish" (Live @ The  Hamilton 3/1/14)

This is a new mashup I made featuring vocals by Ghostface Killah (Wu-Tang Clan) and instrumental of Moby's "Run On". 92 bpm, works well for me in my hip hop sets, or after Drum & Bass.
Don't forget to show some love: comment/like/repost ;)
a WAV download link is included in the MP3 tags.

Enjoy!

Whatcha Gonna Do feat. Mustafa Akbar (Busta ReHype)

Following the release of Fort Knox Five’s second full length album, “Pressurize the Cabin”, each track has been remixed and released as a single. In this process a few rare gems emerged, killer tunes which both Fort Knox Five and Qdup have been playing in their sets all year. After holding on to these exclusive remixes, FK5 is releasing these tunes in a two part lead up to the 100th release on Fort Knox Recordings, the “Pressurize The Cabin Remixed” album coming out this October.
Longtime friend and collaborator Ursula 1000 was enlisted to remix Ready Go featuring Raashan Ahmad and has put together an instant classic. Those familiar with Ursula 1000 will recognize his signature indie/nu-disco sound, delivering a remix peppered with 80s inspired electro toms and funky grooves.
This exclusive release is sure to get fans ready for the 100th re- lease on the label, the forthcoming “Pressurize The Cabin Remixed” album. Instrumentals are available for all of these exclusive mixes. With sounds ranging from nu-disco to breaks, these two tracks will get the dance

After dropping a bangin' remix of See-I last year, rising talent from Victoria, BC, Palletz has reworked 24 Hours To Set It Off featuring Sleepy Wonder into a stomping breaks anthem. Crisp beats and 808 bass booms, combined with climactic trap snare rolls and reggae vocals have this track destined to rock the dancehall.

Pressurize The Cabin Remixed

24 Hours To Set It Off feat. Sleepy Wonder (Palletz Remix)

Since releasing their debut album on Fort Knox Recordings in 2011, NAPPY RIDDEM has been busy touring nationwide and releasing a string of remixes, transforming itself into an uplifting and conscious reggae band that is funky enough to pack the dancefloor. Started by Mustafa Akbar and Rex Riddem, NAPPY RIDDEM is now joined in the studio and on stage by drummer Jon Modell as part of a 6 piece live band. Other players inlcude Charles Flye (keys), Gordon Sterling (guitar / vocals) and Michael Calve (bass).

The Rock Steady EP contains four upbeat reggae tracks that represent NAPPY RIDDEM’s fresh new sound! The EP starts off strong with a track that shows the group is serious about the healing of the nation. “I Wish” is a deep and meaningful track that reaches the soulful depth of Mustafa Akbar’s vocals. The title track, “Rock Steady” oozes positivity with a groovy, rocksteady vibe, and features Rex Riddem on Ukulele and lead vocals. Keeping the dance vibe going is “Rastaman”, rudeboy defiance on top of an irresistible stepping beat results in pure fire! Closing out the EP is “Red Blood”, featuring Brittany Tanner on additional vocals, a emotional ballad for the people, it is sweet and full of soul.

The Nappy Riddem sound has developed into its own brand of “Dancehall Funk” that moves bodies, hearts, and minds. The Rock Steady EP represents a new beginning for this exciting band from Washington, DC. Reggae for the dancefloor, messages for the people, and fresh beats for the heads.
