Mighty Crown is the shit, sayeth XLR8R of the recent World Dancehall Clash:
… the main stage belonged to the now dominant soundclash team Mighty Crown, also known as the “Far East Rulers.” Mighty Crown is the only non-Jamaican soundsystem to have won a World Clash event on Jamaican soil. The five-member crew’s latest victory cup will join a bursting trophy case. Crown has also won World Clash U.S. twice (’99 and ’07), the U.K. Cup Clash (’02 and ’05), and World Clash Antigua (’05). It’s a fitting win for the Japan and New York-based team. Mighty Crown will celebrate their 17th year in the reggae business with a number of high profile reggae concerts in Japan, where they’re known to pull up to 40,000 fans to their shows.
Go support them at Black Rep tonight: 276 Westminster between Clemence & Matthewson. Doors somewhere between $15 and $25 (this performance will be legendary).
