The Sonz of Thunder UK have a history of drawing inspiration from socially charged and politically challenging times. Following the death of South African President Nelson Mandela, the brothers Brown knew they had to write a song which would celebrate his life.

The musical production and video treatment for their track "Mandela" is considered a creative high point for the group. From the unique sound effects to the uplifting messages of unity and solidarity, "Mandela" is a vibrant musical celebration of the life of one of the most heroic individuals of all times. Nelson Mandela left an enduring legacy of freedom and opportunity on our world and the Sonz of Thunder UK have been able to champion this history and distill it into rhythmic dancehall inspired package.

Released on New River Sound Music, "London City Anthem" is a pulsing tribute to one of the world's most important cities. Building on past successes such as "Mandela" and "More to Life", "London City Anthem" promises a bright future for Sonz of UK Thunder and the city they love so much.

MusicDish Review: BIMB Family Debut Single "Steppin' On My Coat"

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=180431

The timeless Bob Marley song "Exodus" was an anthem of self-empowerment; nothing can get in your way to accomplish what you want. However more often than not, it's hard to see how the decision we make affect our lives and what we will become; and sometimes for the worst. But there is always hope, a shimmer of light that can lead you to a better path for yourself.

With such a powerful message, it's only appropriate that the new musical act BIMB Family release their positive, debut single "Steppin' On My Coat". Their unique blend of reggae and hip-hop which they coined "Dub 2.0" is a perfect sonic mixture of reggae bass lines and hip-hop energy. Their new single represents the trials and tribulations of the group and how through self-improvement, they are now on a better path.

"Steppin' On My Coat" starts off with heavy subs that instantaneously bang. Coupled with reggae's staple "bubble" piano rhythm, the track begins with a force to be reckoned with as BIMB Family's rappers spit their own version of self-actualization. From wishing they worked harder, to making better decision, what resounds the most in their record is their hook "Only I Can Stop Me, I'm My Worst Enemy".

Their positive messages offer a much-needed message for not letting circumstances or self pity take over you, but rather assume responsibility and be the change you want to be. Each rapper has a distinct delivery, from blazing fast rhymes to more grimy and rough-around-the edges of flow. Each unique take on the song adds a personalized touch to the listener, as they can relate to all facets of the song.

This is definitely a solid debut single from the Brooklyn based music group. What sets them apart is creating a whole new lane with their very own sub-genre of "Dub 2.0". With innovative sound and incredibly artful lyrics, BIMB Family is sure to be the talk of the town within the music community and has the potential to branch out into a real big movement.

Hip-Hop/Reggae Music Group BIMB Family Creates New Sub-Genre "Dub 2.0"

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=180325

From the depths of Brooklyn New York comes a new musical act that's ready to change your perspective of music. BIMB Family is a music group that fuses Hip-Hop and Reggae music to form it's own, new sub genre they appropriately call "Dub 2.0". With a mixture of heavy bass and thought-provoking rhymes, BIMB Family is looking to step into the music industry with a solid footprint.

The group is comprised of rappers Michael K. Success, C-Tons, Dot Henny and Dansample along with producer Selectah Zaragu. Each bring their own flavor of sound to their "Dub 2.0". With over 20 years of creating music they now have honed their collective talents to release a new single, the self-reflective "Steppin' On My Coat". The record combines meaningful lyrics with big bass lines to a pensive rapper, spilling his distraught of how he could've changed for the better.

In addition to "Steppin' On My Coat", BIMB Family is also working on their new single "Grinding On Dirt" that will be released by spring. With more singles yet to be released later in the year, the current tracks that are being released will set the tone for their upcoming album, which will be released later this year.

Breaking into the music industry can be challenging, but BIMB Family is more than ready to overcome adversity with their own brand of creativity and produce an entirely new sound. Their tenacity is their fuel to their sub-genre "Dub 2.0" and it's movement that will surely cause a ruckus within the music community.

Dateline: L.A.

Global Hip Hop phenom in the making QUE QNA has released a new single DON'T HURT ME worldwide that is receiving rave reviews, airplay & video play worldwide.

QUE QNE describes what the song's all about "'Don't Hurt Me' in a nutshell was a futuristic vision of my life being played out in my mind with a girl I just met, and weighing the pros and cons of the rare chance it actually happens with a boastful, sexual and comedic twist." Further explaining what sets him apart in today's marketplace & what he's all about "I think what sets me apart is my ability to go far right then far left musically, and it still have a genuine feel, being as though I where so many different hats in real life, i try to convey that in my music. Having a wide range as far creating music, I think, is one of the most difficult things for most artist. People tend to put artist in categories and expect only that style from you and are disappointed if they don't get that particular sound, but being able to fit in multiple categories or creating a new category gives me the ability to create what I feel without fear of being held to one style."

Taken from his forthcoming EP release "LOVE OF THE GAME" to be released worldwide on 2-2-2 015 (February 2) on the ATTAIN label, through INDIEPOWER & INGROOVES.

Tours being booked & appearances at industry hotspots SXSW, IES : INDIE ENTERTAINMENT SUMMIT in L.A. in August, WARPED TOUR, BET AWARDS, Spring Break concerts, Summer Tour stops & much more to be announced.

"To have the powerhouses INDIEPOWER, INGROOVES & MADELINE SMITH MUSIC on my side is honestly flattering", states QUE, "knowing how long all 3 have been in the game and there over all knowledge of business and there track records speak for themselves - so being a new artist supported by these guys is very flattering and really strengthens belief in myself and my team at Attain Media Group that we're going in the right direction!"
