DJ Child is the hardest-working man in the reggae biz that you’ve never heard of–if you rely on mainstream channels for your music discovery, that is. As the mind behind Oakland-based Project Groundation, he is a pioneer on several levels; of a new mixtape format that condenses two or three LPs worth of original material into a coherent product with a central theme, of a particular musical vision that combines rasta-inflected reggae (think Sizzla) and fight the power gangster rap (think Dead Prez), and a post-digital DIY indie approach to music that encompasses everything from designing your own graphics to growing your own food. Appropriately, when Child and LARGE UP correspondent and music dude DJ Theory sat down to chop it up, they covered everything from dwarf banana trees to prison documentaries and the reggae scene in Mali.
DJ Child of Project Groundation Massive brings forth a new series for the peoples…”Return To The Classics”. We are living in a time where cloned illusory images dominate & dictate the airwaves. Pussy, Guns, Drugs & Cash sell—Everything else is being robbed by culture vultures. Sometimes we have to look back to be able to move forward.
Book 2 “Upliftment for the People” is a throwback project focused on some of the best reggae vocal harmony groups of all times…Twinkle Brothers, the Abyssinians, Israel Vibration, Kool Roots, the Mighty Diamonds, Tetrack, the Itals & Much More!!!
