This one is the first official Riddim release on our newest European sub division GERMAICA POLSKA, which is a co-operation with the most active and successful Polish Dancehall Kru DANCEHALL MASAK-RAH from Warsaw. 27PABLO, DRIVAH, JUNIOR STRESS & MOTHASHIPP run the baddes‘ weekly regular Dance in Eastern Europe and as well host a radio show on national radio „Czwórka“ every Saturday at 02:00pm. It was also there where the YU GO! RIDDIM was premiered for Poland… And from this very moment Poland loved it and gave it an overwhelming feedback. This being said it was more than logic to issue a local leg of the riddim…

And here YU go! Besides the teaser song NADSZIEDŁ JUŻ CZAS from BAS TAJPAN & BOB ONE – anchor single for their „Protest 2012“ EP and tour – and the first official single NIC NA SIŁE from SZTOSS five more tunes were voiced on the YU GO! POLSKA. First up is long time GERMAICA affiliate MARIKA – Polands no.1 female Reggae & Dancehall Artiste – with TURISTYZNA PIOSENKA („Touristic Song“) Quote: „When you travel, you discover how different and beautiful people are… You feel a closer connection with the world“.

The „Dancehall Masak-Rah“ Kru delivers the next two tunes: JUNIOR STRESS introduces his new „evil“ alter ego YUREK DRES and the kraziest tune of the selection NIE MAM CZASU by 27PABLO & MOTHASHIPP shows what happens when PIONIR from „Zachodnia Polska“ pressures his partners in Warsaw to step pon di riddim and everybody say: „But I’m to exhausted and don’t even have the time to write lyrics…“ – the translation of NIE MAM CZASU is „I don’t have time“.

Six years ago PIONEAR started to work in Poland and in a joint venture with SILVER DREAD from veteran sound LOVE SENSI MUSIC from Lublin the critically acclaimed album POLSKI OGIEN was produced. Some even say it was the real starting point for Polish Dancehall, but for sure it was the first album of the genre on a major label – Warner Music Poland – and introduced a lot of the Artistes to a wider audience that „run PL“ today…

Besides the mentioned BOB ONE, MARIKA and JUNIOR STRESS  the protagonists of the two remaining songs on the YU GO! POLSKA have also been part of this milestone: CHEEBA of supergroup EASTWEST ROCKERS from Wrocław delivers a hommage to his Gypsy roots with CYGAŃSKI STYL („Gypsy Style“) and MUZYKA by CHVAŚCIU of vocal trio SILESIAN SOUND is closing this release with lyrics about why all of us are inna dis „Music“ ting…

YU GO! POLSKA we seh!

With the EMIR „YOUTHMAN“ KOBILIC Riddim YU GO! turning into a world wide affair we’d like to introduce to you a country that over the last years developed a strong Dancehall movement regarding Sounds and also Artistes performing in their native language.

This being said we’re proud to announce the first official YU GO! single from Poland. It is featuring a young SingJay by the name of SZTOSS, who undoubtly has great songwriting talent and  a superb delivery. SZTOSS was born into a musical family in Lublin/Poland in 1991. In 2009 he started working seriously as a vocalist and song writer on his solo project. Since 2010 he’s supporting his brother TALLIB as a hypeman at concerts. His first solo project – an EP called „Rozgrzewka“ – was released in 2011 and this EP was given to GERMAICA boss PIONEAR at the annual „Ostróda Reggae Festiwal“ and he immediately saw the great potential of this young Artiste…

Now just half a year later SZTOSS‘ debut on GERMAICA is finished… The single „Nic na siłe“ is also the first shot on the forthcoming YU GO POLSKA! Riddim featuring the likes of MARIKA, JUNIOR STRESS, 27PABLO & MOTHASHIPP, CHEEBA (EASTWEST ROCKERS), BAS TAJPAN & BOB ONE and CHVAŚCIU (SILESIAN SOUND).

With this one Leipzig’s premier Sound UPLIFTMENT INT’L enters the producers arena! Gaining experience in the studio by producing their Mixes and Dubs it was just a matter of time until the crew would start releasing their very own voicings…. And here we go with their debut the „Question? Riddim“! The instrumental is provided by DREADSQUAD from Lodz/Poland but some „Questions?“ are left:

1st Question?: Why JAH MASON records his 1999 smash hit „Fire“ again as FIRE 2011?

2nd Question?: Why the WARD 21 tune JUMP & SKIP was released previously already on a different label?

3rd Question?: Why DR. RING DING with German/French origin is biggin‘ up POLISH VODKA?

4th Question?: Why two Muslims like SHABU & REBELLION recorded KEEP ME ORIGINAL their combination with lyrics about God in a city the Pope blessed not too long ago?

5th Question?: Why JR. BANTON & MANDINGO sound like they recorded their tune DAGGADANG back in 1992?

6th Question?: Why TOM HYPE – first Artiste on our newest local division „Germaica Austria“ sings all the lyrics of his tune in Patois except for the word EUROS?

7th Question?: Why LAS BALKANIERAS‘ song was renamed from „Marin“ to MLADEN?

8th Question?: Is it just coincidence that CHEEBA of EastWest Rockers from Wroclaw calls his contribution to the riddim WYSOKI LOT which means „Fly High“ just like the dance of Upliftment Int’l?

9th Question?: Are SANJIN & YOUTHMAN signed to „Germaica Balkans“ now and is their tune VADIM PISTOLJ supporting the violence in the Dancehall??

10th Question?: Why the DREADSQUAD relick of the classic „Answer“ Riddim was re-named to QUESTION? ?
