At the controls of a potent dancefloor experience that draws from reggae dancehall, hip hop and the synthy beats of urban electro, Green Lion is a sonic craftsman at home both on the decks and in the studio. Honed in the heated atmosphere of sound system culture, all Green Lion productions–on record, over the air or live and direct–are energetic affairs designed to set bodies in motion.
Green Lion’s debut studio release, “Come Down” performed by Billboard charting artist Collie Buddz, relies on a subtle mix of RnB, hip hop and reggae. Released as a single in 2009, “Come Down” became a darling of the reggae and underground hip hop scene, featured on 50 Cent’s website, ThisIs50.com, and added to Collie’s massively popular Playback EP.
An extension of the We Run England mixtape with Mr Williamz, Green Lion’s debut commercial project, the More Spiritual Riddim, was released to critical acclaim in 2012. Based on an updated version of Henry Junjo Lawes’ Ganja Smuggling (1981), the first single from the riddim, “We Run England” performed by Mr Williamz, was tagged as “a future classic” (Music Is My Sanctuary) as well as “brilliant… playful, genuinely funny and most important of all musically dynamite too” (musiclikedirt). Click here to preview all the tunes on the riddim from Million Stylez (watch the official music video), Kabaka Pyramid, YT and Perfect as well as Mr Williamz.
Don’t miss Green Lion’s innovative and ongoing Eek A Mouse remix project which confirms a signature ability and conscious effort to stay ‘up to the time, and close to the roots’. Check the first Eek remixes, “Eek Do Dem” (September 2011) and “Long Time A Dub” (December 2011), which set the stage with timeless dub and dubstep editions only for the “Terrorists In The Sh**ty” Green Lion Remix (just released in December 2012) to ram it with people trapped by the raw gritty sound.
