It’s #Ward21Wednesday! Actually the last one before the brand new studio album “Still Disturbed” will hit the streets next week. Today we will not only introduce to you the album artwork (click on the cover to enlarge the artwork image) and the album track list but as well pre release the 2nd single.

You can already listen to snippets of all songs and pre order the album on iTunes and several other digital platforms. If u do so and buy the album before the official release date on Jan22 you will get the upcoming 2nd single “Spot The J” before anybody else!

Said “Spot The J” is according to industry people the “madddes’ Dancehall tune recorded in a while” cementing the status of WARD 21 as being innovators but at the same time keepers of the #RealDancehall vibes. Like Kunley said in a recent interview: “We keep the roots alive so that the Dancehall can survive!”

The pre release of “Spot The J” is powered and supported by our friends reggaeville.com from Cologne/Germany.

“Balkan Dancehall” takin’ over” was the slogan, the prediction and the promise we made one year ago, when the original “Yu Go! Riddim” album was released. Today, 7 singles, 5 videos, +40 official  and about 60 nonofficial cuts later EMIR “YOUTHMAN” KOBILICs debut Riddim turned into a kind of “Sleng Teng Riddim” of the new millenium and made it’s way once around the world.

We choose Artistes from 3 continents and 10 countries for the “Yu Go! World Wide Riddim” album including 4 performers from the motherland of Dancehall Jamaica: The already single released GENERAL DEGREE and HAWKEYE long time label affiliates WARD 21 and comedian SANI SHOWBIZZ.

Furthermore we feature one artiste each from our sub-divisions GERMAICA AUSTRIA (THAI STYLEE), GERMAICA IBERIA (ZURI), GERMAICA JAPAN (ARARE), GERMAICA LATINA (DADDY BANTON), GERMAICA POLSKA (SZTOSS) and the GERMAICA VIKINGZ (JODDSKI & SIRKUS ELIASSEN). The line up is completed by BABY QUINN from Barbados, SOUL J & NECHI NECH from Israel and DUKE NOBLE & LORD FOWLER who’s origin unfortunately has to be kept secret for security reasons…

Listen and enjoy some of the finest Dancehall of this second decade of the century…

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? ?

You can listen and download the QUESTION? RIDDIM MegaMix here.

Gegründet im November 2002, ist das Soundsystem UPLIFTMENT INTERNATIONAL rasch zu einem der drei führenden Sounds der sächsischen Dancehall-Szene avanciert. Sound Boss DJ FLO und DIDI RANKS haben innerhalb der letzten 2 Jahre gemeinsam mit Deutschlands Dancehall Entrepreneur und GERMAICA Frontrunner PIONEAR einen brandneuen Dance als monatliche Veranstaltung für die Fans der Jamaican Bass Music etabliert, das „Fly High!“. Das musikalische Profil reicht von Dancehall über Hip Hop & R’n’B bis hin zu Tropical. Nach Leipzig wird in Zusammenarbeit mit dem „N’dorphin Club“ das „Fly High!“ nun regelmäßig die zweite deutsche Stadt besuchen: Chemnitz!

Der Hostsound UPLIFTMENT INT’L wird heute seine erste eigene Produktion den „Question? Riddim“ vorstellen. In wahrer internationaler Zusammenarbeit mit DREADSQUAD aus dem polnischen Łódź, die das blitzsaubere Instrumental lieferten, enstand ein Re-Lick des klassischen „Answer“ Riddims. Als Label fungiert der Präsentator des „Fly High!“ GERMAICA DIGITAL. Die Songs kommen von u.a. JAH MASON, WARD 21, Dr. RING-DING, SHABU & REBELLION, oder Jr. BANTON & MANDINGO.
Ein besonders hitverdächtiger Beitrag stammt aus dem österreichischen Kärnten – „Euros“ von TOM HYPE, der der erste Artist auf der neuen GERMAICA AUSTRIA Dependance ist und zur Feier der Veröffentlichung des „Question? Riddim“ als Live-Gast zum ersten Mal überhaupt in Chemnitz performen wird.

Komplettiert wird das Line Up des ersten „Fly High! Chemnitz“ von der lokalen SUNOMONTO CREW, bekannt für ihr abwechlungsreiches Juggling. Wer sich an das UPLIFTMENT INT’L Gastspiel letztes Jahr im „N’dorphin“ erinnert, weiß wie gut beide Crews zusammen agieren können. Es ist also alles bereitet für ein erstklassiges Debut von Chemnitz’ neuestem Dance! So all Fly High!-, and Chemnitz-Party Crew line up for the start of a brand new Bass Experience, line up for Fly High! Chemnitz!
