Crazy Baldhead

A 1 track roots reggae single (4m 34s) — released May 26th 2023 on Reggae Roast

Reggae Roast's latest offering sees them join forces with dub aficionado Dubmatix, out of Canada, alongside the sweet vocal melodies of one of the UK's finest roots singers, Donovan Kingjay, on this awesome re-working of the Bob Marley Classic 'Crazy Baldhead'

With an original riddim from Reggae Roast & Dubmatix plus Donovan's stand out vocals, they breath new life into this sure fire classic. The heavy roots track and soulful melody perfectly compliment one-another delivering a message that is as relevant now as it was when first released over 35 years ago.

Crazy Balhead is the latest single from Reggae Roast's forthcoming More Fire! LP which features world famous artists such as Horace Andy, Johnny Clarke, Gappy Ranks, Mr WIlliamz & Soom T.

As the Reggae Roast frontman, Donovan Kingjay has steadily built a reputation as one of the finest roots vocalists in the UK. Winning multiple awards, including ' Best Writer' & 'Best Male Vocalist' at the AWSL Music Awards he has worked with a plethora of legendary artists from Sugar Minott to Unity Sound & Youtman Promotions.

Dubmatix, the Canadian composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and seven-time JUNO Award winner hails from Toronto, has carved out a massive following on the international stage. His rendition of "Is This Love" was declared by Billboard Magazine as the #1 Bob Marley Remix of all time!

Reggae Roast have established themselves as one of the UKs leading Soundsystem and production outfits in the UK. Performing at major Festivals including Glastonbury, Outlook & Boomtown as well as touring with UB40 & Alborosie in 2022 Reggae Roast are at the forefront of the UK Reggae scene.
