Lighter? Check. Body spray? Check. Soca and dancehall dons Dre Skull & Machel Montano heat it up at Notting Hill Carnival 2012. Pull up!
Sleep is the cousin of death. That’s common knowledge, not just in Queensbridge but also in Brooklyn where hip hop, dancehall and soca don _(artist-name)Dre Skull_ pulls all-nighters on a regular, just to make sure dances worldwide never run out of high octane riddims. After lacing beats for heavy hitters such as _(artist-name)Beenie Man_, _(artist-name)Popcaan_ and _(artist-name)Pusha T_, the mighty _(artist-name)Major Lazer_ asked him to co-produce _(artist-name)Snoop Dogg_’s reggae-fied reincarnation as _(artist-name)Snoop Lion_. Being raised to the sounds of the East Coast underground freak-punk scene, _(artist-name)Dre Skull_ perceives urban music culture as a holistic affair and follows the paths of _(artist-name)Don Was_, _(artist-name)Rick Rubin_ or _(artist-name)Heavy D_ in terms of working with artists from various fields. Here he teams up with Trinidad and Tobago’s very own chart-topping soca authority _(artist-name)Machel Montano_. The frontman of the HD Family has gained quite a name for himself as THE standout soca performer of his time, working with everyone from _(artist-name)Wyclef_ to _(artist-name)Vybz Kartel_ and 50’s _(artist-name)G-Unit_ and selling out the Madison Square Garden many times over. So, you brought your lighter and body spray, yeah? Well, please go ahead then.
