LP International_Silverhawk_FNR_01.18.13
It was a pleasure to have two quality sounds grace our ReggaeMania Radio studio for Sound System Fridays on January 18th – inside was Jamaica’s legendary Richie Poo representing Silverhawk Sound, alongside Killa D reppin’ LP International Sound out of Flatbush, NY.  They were passing through as a prelude to the REAL STEEL event that was scheduled for Saturday night at Hickory House also featuring King Turbo (promoters of the event) and early warm-up by Don Rankin.

I was a little disappointed that the Sounds didn’t arrive to start playing at 9 PM, but, I sensed the promoters didn’t want to give away free ‘too much’ of what was to be expected the following night.  A little over 90 minutes of Silverhawk Sound and LP International would have to suffice.  I held it down with some creative juggling previous to these veteran sounds taking over the one’s and two’s.

It was time to ‘sound off’ – LP International touched down first, delivering some nice dubs and speech.  It was clear, when questioned, that Killa D (LP International) would be up for anything and everything the following night including any war that might start in-between the REAL STEEL sets.  Silverhawk took over and took us on a journey back in time with a selection of dubs designed to tease and please our listeners and viewers tuned into the broadcast.  Richie Poo (Silverhawk) also stated that he was ready to defend tings too.

Viewers of this Podcast may be interested in my conversation with Richie Poo – a veteran in this business.  He made some strong statements about the state of Dancehall today vs. how things used to be.  Take a listen, you’ll be ‘edutained’ by what he has to say.

Musically, many of the dubs played by Silverhawk and LP International were beyond me – I’m too new school.  Back then, I was playing Hip-hop and my transition over to Reggae and Dancehall started in the early 90’s.  Big Up Silverhawk and LP International for passing through!
