Reality Chant Productions proudly present the release of Fyah Bed and Goodness Gracious – singles by Natty King and Hi Kee, off the forthcoming pioneering compilation roots reggae album, Kings Highway!
Jamaican artist, Natty King, dedicates himself to spreading conscious and cultural music, drawing inspiration from The Wailers, Burning Spear and his personal role model, Luciano. Since his emergence, he has graced the stage of major Jamaican festivals like Sting, Rebel Salute and Reggae Sumfest and has had continued success in JA and internationally.
Also from Jamaica, Hi Kee was given his first opportunity to gain experience on local sound-systems as a youth, recording his first song at age 21 and carrying on his search for musical partners. He continues to perform and record with labels in Jamaica, France and Finland and is now working on his debut album.
Both of these artists bring originality and vitality to their work with Reality Chant Productions – a leading reggae label based in the South Island of New Zealand. Producer and label founder, Messenjah (Gabriel Calcott), has a long and rich history within Australasia through his work with the Dubwize crew and numerous other vocalists and crews from the region.
In 2008 the label released Snypa Levi – The Sojourner album and the Country Living riddim on 7″ vinyl with versions from Luciano, Jah Mason, Chrisinti, Ginjah, Mikey General and Snypa Levi. He is now gearing up for the Kings Highway album, featuring some of the world’s premier reggae vocalists on the majestic Reality Chant riddims – an unparalleled release for Aotearoa set for early 2010.
