about

Crucial Whynicotics

Reggae singer songwriter, CRUCIAL WHYNICOTICS, teams up with  producer Marc L. Brown for WHYNICOTICS' debut 4 track E.P.

Released originally on Bandcamp as a download, the FORWARD E.P. is also now available on C.D.

The E.P. reflects WHYNICOTICS' background in Rub a Dub and Roots and Culture. The first track, 'FOOTSTOOL' is a freedom chant, a raw dub mix with a deep and heavy sound.

The second track is 'INFORMER', where 'WHYNICOTICS' sings about those who betray their friends, and how they can redeem themselves. With a rhythmic sounding bass, blended with mouth organ and keyboards, 'INFORMER' has a 80s dancehall-style drumbeat, and a ska / dub ending.

'FORWARD' is an uptempo roots rock reggae song dealing with the improvement of the mind, body and soul. And how to survive in today's world.

For the final track, 'JAH JAH RULE', WHYNICOTICS sings a prayer-like song to a waist-shaking drumbeat and punching bass-line rhythm.

This energising E.P. is one for reggae connoisseurs.

about

Crucial Whynicotics London, UK

Roots and culture music drowning out the wicked and bringing to the forefront of self-awareness.
Do most people talk of what they see? And obstacles put in front of them, or sayings of historical and traditional morals and opinions.
This is my little slice on it. All what the down pressers try to do, let them know that 'Jah Jah 'nah' sleep. Hey all Crews, this E.P. is finally released.
