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.

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 Turner 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.

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

Tracklisting:
1. Rock Steady (Bobby C Sound TV Remix)
2. Rastaman (Pimpsoul and Mooqee Remix)
3. Red Blood ft Brittany Tanner (Kowalski Remix)
4. Rock Steady (Crafty Daggers Remix)
5. I Wish (Los Chicos Altos Remix)

Nappy Riddem has been on fire since releasing the Rock Steady EP in the fall of 2013.  Most notably they have joined forces with Junior Marvin of Bob Marley and The Wailers to take the Foundation To Creation Tour on the road.  “The Most Jammin’ Tour in The Nation” continues to tour this fall, heading out west to California and beyond.  Earlier this year, the Washington Area Music Association awarded a WAMMIE Award to The Rock Steady EP for “Best Reggae Release of 2013.”

The award winning Rock Steady EP was given the remix treatment by a group of five producers from around the world.   Bobby C Sound TV of Colorado has turned Rock Steady into an electro-funk dance floor smash hit, a real funky banger.  UK production duo Pimpsoul and Mooqee flips Rastaman into a heavy hitting drum’n’bass monster with deep sub-bass.  Red Blood featuring Brittany Tanner was a very popular track that Greek producer Kowalski (a.k.a. DJ Tzinas) has reworked into a red hot moombah-dancehall tune sure to ignite dance floors around the world.  DC’s own Crafty Daggers (featuring Stylus Chris) transformed Rock Steady into an epic, deep house groove.  Closing out the package are Barcelona based Los Chicos Altos and their laid-back, lounge drum’n’bass remix of I Wish.

Nappy Riddem’s distinctive “Dancehall Funk” sound has been reinterpreted and revisited by a handful of talented remixers from around the world, giving a solid package for DJs and music lovers alike.   Ranging from house to funk, a moombah-dancehall club banger and two flavors of drum’n’bass means that there is something for everyone.
