New Music: Dub Rock All Stars - Mind Control feat. Monie Love
Holla'd at the homie, Khaliyl (aka Mr. Man from Da Bush Babees) last night and he put me up on this new project he's been working on. The Dub Rock All Stars is basically a new iteration of Da Bush Babees featuring him and Light from the group but incorporating even more of the music (reggae & soca) from their Caribbean heritage. This track also features the legendary Native Tongues MC, Monie Love. Check it:
