Unlike the hypocritical rhetoric of some backpack rappers that preach black empowerment during performances to all white audiences, in places like Norway, because they can’t pull a crowd on their home turf, Smif and Wessun are the real deal.

After two decades on hiatus, Bobo General is set to release his own highly anticipated full length comeback, Emotional, on April 27th. Currently signed to Sleepy Wonder’s Virginia Beach-based independent record label, No Choice Music Group, tracks on Emotional include “Leave Rasta Children Alone,” “Jah Will Be There for You,” and “Bills,” and guest appearances from Sleepy Wonder and his niece, former Canadian Idol, Diane Archer. Bobo was most recently featured on Sleepy’s 2009 album release, Injustice.
One of the most sophisticated voices to gain popularity in the reggae dance halls of New York City belongs to Bobo. After migrating to the States from Kingston, Jamaica in the 1980’s, Bobo linked up with popular youth soundsystem, Mini Mart Hi Power, and he wasted no time teaming up with another Mini Mart youth sensation, Sleepy Wonder. Sleepy is currently touring the world with Thievery Corporation, in support of their 2009 album, Radio Retaliation, in which Sleepy voices the title track.

By the time Jamaican-American Dwane Rich was in high school, he was by spinning at trendy parties in his neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. In these formative adolescent years, he developed into somewhat of a pro-skater, in a similar vein to another neighborhood skateboard legend, Harold Hunter, and Blader Ryan Jacklone, with nearby stomping grounds in Union Square, Washington Square Park and The Brooklyn Banks. Dwane Rich’s DJing escalated into spinning at corporate events for the likes of Tommy Mottola, Zac Posen, Jay-Z, Andre Harrell and Maybach. This lifestyle, coupled with his experiences and creativity, lead him to express himself with the artwork that eventually evolved into his lifestyle brand, Diamond Headz.
