Dancehallnews from --- Switzerland !!

Ok, you know normaly this column is named "Dancehall News from Germany" but now we have an artist that is really hard not to mention, even when he's coming from switzerland.

So...big up swiss, big up Cookie the Herbalist...

First time I heard of him was on Riddim Releases of African Beat and Weedy G - the Best Trick and the Bubbler Riddim, then I go deeper and found an Ep (The Good Weed) and an Album (Like A Tree) with amazing and upliftin music...

Jaky - He Cookie, I heard that you are working on a new album. Tell me some facts about it.

Cookie - yes mon i'm actually working on a new album which is going to be released early this may. the name of the album will be "STAND TALL" and you'll certainly like it!

Jaky - You wearing your turban to hide your locks. Are you rasta ? What is rasta for you - Universal Love or Repartuation ?

Cookie - haha... i'm not really hiding them but i prefer to keep the locks them safe from dirt and things zeen...yes man i man as a rasta man stand for a universal love and Inity because you know no matter color or race we are all the same have all the same heritage and are all created by the same powers of creation seen. and all a we is a part of the whole thing you seet...

i man as a rasta man haffi tell the people them the facts about the world we're living in of course and tell the blind them to open up them eyes and try fi see clear and be a part of the solution seen?!

Jaky - You promoting the good weed. In Germany law is not realy clear and fair and if you smoke ganja inna your car, you will loose your driving license sooner or later. How run tings in Switzerland. I heard its legalized.

Cookie - yeah mon it's the same in switzerland you know... so i really try to leave the car at home as much as i can and you see babylon them no really love rasta fi drive car anyway so i man move incognito you zeet!

and talking bout ganjah.. time really come fi babylon fi stop that foolish terror against ganjah, there's plenty other things them should deal with...

Jaky - Did you have problems with the police because of your artist name ?

  Dancehallnews from Germany

 The original Ganjasmoka Benjie is back with a brandnew Album and this is really remarkable. After a hard time and tuff problems with his his old lable he's gettin part of the Urban Tree Family and bringing out his 3. Album "Gelobtes Land" (Praised Land) Well, what should I say, this is a perfect Dancehall Album with German lyrics. This got Vibes, this got beatz, this got lyrics !!

Check the Live Video recorded in Berlins Yaam.

So the beatz....the beatz...the riddims -> I said before that I love the Scrucialist, in my opinon the best Backin Band around, also involved is Ganjaman and Felix Wolter. My favorite Tunes are Hände hoch (Hands Up), Feierabend (Home Time), Für 0 Euro (For No Money) and Zu Hause (At Home) but the whole Album is real tight, spiritual and danceable.

So listen the Album Snippet for yourself and you too could spread a positiv vibe on soundcloud...leave a comment !! Show your love for the Lone Ranger, the only Ganja Smoka...

Check him out on Tour

Dancehall News From Germany

Talkin to Mr. Futuristic Dancehall - Singin Gold

Jamaican-born artist Singin Gold has been based in Germany since 2001 and looks back onto more than two decades of musical creativity. It was in his local church choir in the Jamaican town of Robins Bay, where he collected his first experiences in the music scene. Already at this early age he began writing texts and composing music. Before moving to Germany he had already drawn much attention to himself by taking part in a number of talent shows and appearing on just as many sound system parties. And here in Germany he continues doing precisely what he was born to do: recording songs, playing at festivals throughout the country and performing in German as well as other European clubs. Ready to take his music to a whole new level, he began his collaboration with Symbiz Sound in 2010.

RS - You started to work with symbiz sound in 2010. how did it come to the collaboration ?

SG - ok i met chris(symbiz) quite a few years ago in a but we did did anything together at that time..so by chance i met him in the year 2010 and he ask me sing a dub for symbiz sound and thats how the whole thing started!

RS - What new projects are planned ?

SG -  We are just work on new material and see how far it goes!!!

RS - Now your living for more than 10 years in germany. What do you still miss ?

SG - I live in Germany now for 8 years not 10 for the record.. but what i still miss is a lot cause the mentitaly is diffrent here in germany form jamaica...but i would say the food. the sea. big sound boxes sting up on every corner on holidays!!are just some of the things!!!
