Dem City Video on its way soon!

From the director:

"The video is a loose narrative following Jua through the city as elements of his lyrics and energy interact with the concrete jungle. Jua begins to transform into
a sonic form of word, sound, power. He travels through the city as energy. We follow his movements. Time and space are skewed as he makes his way from a
live performance back to his apartment. The lion spirit guides his movements."

DUB WAR Review on Bassfaced

Find complete article here: http://www.bassfaced.com/2009/11/bass-marathon-recap.html

"DubWar is unlike any event that I've ever been to. There's something really special that goes on each and every month in that club that's tough to put into words and the best way to really grasp that feeling is to experience it for yourself. In a time where the focus of the electronic dance music and culture in NYC seems to revolve around big name DJs, posh clubs, VIP rooms, bottle service, and being seen; DubWar remains strictly about the music. It is about everyone and everything that...

DUB WAR Review

Find article here: http://binafrondaphotography.blogspot.com/2009/11/dubwar-nyc.html

"This Friday night, me and and some friends decided to check out the hyped up dub-step scene that seems to be creepin into success. Located at club LOve once a month, dubwar is the ultimate party. The beats are anything but bland and the people, well the people are each in their own world. I must admit- from a chic who has been to thousands of hip-hop, reggae and dubbing parties, this was somethin on a whole other level. it was less about who was around you and more about how the music made...
