What's good Reggaejahm!?

For those who don't know what a Dubplate is
(Insiders don't laugh, we got "normal" people here,too),
it's a special/extra recording from a known song, specially
rerecorded for a specific Soundsystem, in this case Tek 9 Movements.
Later these Soundsystems "battle" themselves with the hottest
Dubplates in a so called "Soundclash".
The educated audience in the Dance (Party) recognizes the famous song,
and the changed lyrics, biggin' up the Soundsystem...and goes crazy,
the better the Dubplate (idea) is.
"Biggest Fan" from Lila Ike is just a great idea for a Dubplate,
but listen for yourself.
But get it straight, these Soundsystems pay serious money,to get
the Dubplate, and not everyone got the connections. 😉

Dubplates-It's a Reggae Thing

You won't find these Soundclashes really anywhere else, but
in Reggae/Dancehall/Jamaican Culture.
Yes, the Caribbean neighbors Trinidad& Tobago will have some with
their Soca Music, and also my HipHoppers are doing some here
and there, but HipHop Battles are more about Turntable Skills
and Turntablism.
The other reason is that the big HipHop Stars got so rich, that
not many DJs could afford a Dubplate from e.g. Drake or J.Cole.
And they wouldn't record one either most probably, except they
are your buddies.

Coming from HipHop

i will not try to catch up with big Soundsystems, who collecting
Dubplates since years...you know who is the only one, that got
a Dubplate from Bob Marley..!? Sir David Rodigan! But i don't
even know which song😜
In HipHop we have more like "Shoutouts" from famous artists,
i got Akon,Raskass, Masta Ace e.g.
But in 2002 or 2003 i helped some friends of mine from Berlin
(Supersonic Soundsystem, Citylock Soundsystem) to record
Dubplates of the Jamaican Singer Luciano in my Home Studio.
I have to find this old recordings...my crew name back then
was "Broken Needles"...and Luciano freestyled "Broken Needles
can't be mended, if we life it, Jah intend it..."

My Music/Selection is a Mix like Myself

Like i said i started with HipHop and then added Reggae,Dancehall
and Soca to my repertoire and style. Like being German-Italian.
Mixed is the Best😁
I battle a HipHop Sound with Selection, and a Reggae Sound
with HipHop Skills...the best well rounded..like MMA.
