Dre Skull & Machel Montano featured at this year’s RBMA x Major Lazer Notting Hill Carnival Party, and now they’ve thankfully provided a way to listen back, if you missed it or you wish to relive the madness.
Sleep is the cousin of death. That’s common knowledge, not just in Queensbridge but also in Brooklyn where hip hop, dancehall and soca don Dre Skull pulls all-nighters on a regular, just to make sure dances worldwide never run out of high octane riddims. After lacing beats for heavy hitters such as Beenie Man, Popcaan and Pusha T, the mighty Major Lazer asked him to co-produce Snoop Dogg’s reggae-fied reincarnation as Snoop Lion. Being raised to the sounds of the East Coast underground freak-punk scene, Dre Skull perceives urban music culture as a holistic affair and follows the paths of Don Was, Rick Rubin or Heavy D in terms of working with artists from various fields. Here he teams up with Trinidad and Tobago’s very own chart-topping soca authority Machel Montano. The frontman of the HD Family has gained quite a name for himself as THE standout soca performer of his time, working with everyone from Wyclef to Vybz Kartel and 50’s G-Unit and selling out the Madison Square Garden many times over. So, you brought your lighter and body spray, yeah? Well, please go ahead then.
