The New England legend and stalwart MC, Krumbsnatcha aka Judah The Prince, responsible for over two decades of thought provoking bangers is back this fall with his latest release Last Dance, produced by Pzazz Psyxtine. This comes as the most recent of three singles released for the upcoming album Iron Lion of Zion, which is a commemorative album of the late Reggae legend Bob Marley.
This is not the first time Krumbsnatcha has experimented with different genres or Reggae as he has already collaborated with established Reggae artists Jah Don and Grammy Award winning Dancehall superstar Shabba Ranks. This album goes a step further in its aim to tribute arguably one of the most influential musicians of all time. Bob Marley was not only an international icon known for his anthems such as One Love and Three Little Birds, but also a freedom fighter who used his medium of music as bridge to promote peace, unity and equality for everyone regardless of race, religion or economic status. Bob Marley was even shot at his home in an assassination attempt for his dedication to these principles and his refusal to be associated with any political interests.
The new single Last Dance is an upbeat and uptempo invitation to the dancefloor by Judah The Prince. Though the album has serious and thought provoking messages included, it also gives the listener a vibe to get loose "Pon the dancefloor" as Judah instructs in the chorus.
Releases fully on November 3rd

‘No No No’ is the second single from the upcoming and as yet untitled album by Cuban Pete and the late BigBob, the first being the tribute track ‘This is for You’

‘No No No’, sets the bar high and raises the anticipation levels for the album.
The track is engineered by BoFaat, artwork by Cuban himself.

Cuban Pete drops visuals for his tribute to BigBob
Not long ago we heard the sad news that Elite Sound International founder Robert 'BigBob' Pattison had passed. Bob was a renowned and respected producer who worked with artists such as Raf Almighty (Dirt Platoon), Daddie Notch (Bankai Fam), Sizzla Kamonji, Cutty Ranks, Solomon Childs, Ruste Juxx, Nelson Dialect, and many many more. His boom bap production brought the best out of MCs and created many classic sounding albums. Elite Sound International, Bigbob's production and record label, will be entering a period of transition to ensure his legacy will continue to live on. Cuban Pete worked with Bob over the last few years, mainly providing artwork for artists Bob was producing. In the last few months they started working on an as yet unnamed album together. Little did Pete know that the first single from that project would be in tribute to the late producer and friend.

The landmark 400th episode starts off with cosigns from names in the game such as DJ Premier before launching into the new single from Cuban Pete dedicated to the late BigBob (RIP), followed by an exclusive cut dedicated to Modesty himself by artists Napoleon Da Legend, Mic Bless, Musik G, Raze The Ratchet, Wildelux, and XP The Marxman.
Check out the show below and make sure to tune in on Mixcloud regularly:
