Sniper Sound gets a ‘thumbs up’ for their performance on Sound System Fridays this past Friday Night. I was pleased that they “brought it” despite arriving late and failing to deliver an artiste to perform live. From the time they touched their Itch console (after 10 PM) ’til their end of show interview with myself (11:50 PM), they did so for about 110 minutes, not the 180 minutes that they would’ve played had they arrived and started on time (9:00 PM).
Back to the review…Sniper has a deep dub box and they proved it! Big Up Big Roy, owner of Sniper Sound and owner of the legendary ‘Sniper Dub Plate Studios’ – cutting dub plates for decades now for many of Canada’s and the World’s finest Sounds, whilst sharing intimate recording studio experiences with some of Reggae’s finest International artistes! This adds up to a deep Sniper dub plate collection.
This should explain why we got that quality of performance from Sniper – the dubs came hard, then even harder, then harder after that. After a few complaints (due to the late start), the ‘live’ chat room dynamics suddenly changed from pure heckling to pure niceness. It’s as if Sniper had all of their fans listening – the listeners and viewers kept bigging up Sniper’s performance – crazy! First, Twin Star International did it, now Sniper – buttering up the chat room diehards and getting nothing but love from haters! What’s going on T.O.? LOL.
I’m glad that Big Roy has found a team that seems like they’ll stick with the Sound for a while, I’ve seen a few Sniper selectors come and go over the years. I’m also surprised and happy that there’s such good chemistry between the Sniper DJ – Necus, and the MC, Bigga Boss aka Mr. Dockery aka Fatman, equally talented when it comes to juggling for the ladies or bullying over competing sounds in Sound clash competition. The two were in perfect sync for the majority of the night, delivering a solid performance with owner Big Roy overseeing the whole thing from his chair in the corner of the studio. At the end of the night, he was proud, as Sniper Sound exposed just as much as I think he wanted to be exposed, probably less than 10% of their musical arsenal. There’s a lot more left in that Sniper box that I’d still love to hear! Enjoy the Podcast!
