Following on the success of their massive one drop release in 2010, the City Life Riddim, producers Jeremy Harding and Nigel Staff have returned for 2011 with Deep Cover.
A carefully crafted blend of classic one drop reggae sensibilities with forward-thinking instrumentation and production, Deep Cover takes up where City Life left off. If you want to know what reggae will sound like five years from now,this is it. Deep Cover features six of Jamaica’s most talented and relevant vocalists, including I-Octane, Busy Signal and Agent Sasco aka Assassion. These established names are joined by rising stars Konshens and Natel as well as sultry songstress Denyque.
Rootz Underground’s debut EP Lightning Theory is now available after being out of print since 2007.
The EP features their chart-topping “Victims Of The System” and “Herb Fields” as well as dub and acoustic versions of several tracks not available elsewhere.
Singles Vol. 1 collects a range of Jamaican talent and styles on an easy to digest six-song release. Produced by Jeremy “MisterHarding” Harding and Nigel “Sleepy Splu” Staff, the album kicks off with the breakout radio hit “Hooked On Me” from rising vocalist Denyque. Elephant Man follows with the catchy street tune “Snap”, and Beenie Man, Assassin and Laden all offer something for the dancehall massive as well. Sultry diva Alaine closes out the set with another radio smash “Dance With Me”.
