Mighty Crown "The Far East Rulaz" wrapped up an
explosive month-long European tour at the close of June. And from the looks of things, Japan's most
coveted sound system has no intention of slowing down. Mighty Crown's long
overdue European Tour, which consisted of heavy hitting performances in 20
cities, attracted thousands of diehard followers. After loads of requests from
promoters and fans, the tour went off without a hitch and was a bonafide success. Mighty Crown was thrilled to return to Europe
after taking a hiatus from touring to solidify business deals.
As one of the industry's most accomplished sound systems,
Mighty Crown has a wealth of accolades under their belt, including sponsorships,
endorsements, stadium shows, a clothing brand, and a record label. With Dancehall and sound system culture at the core of Mighty Crown's existence, the
celebrated sound highlights these elements in every facet of their empire. "We are one of the few camps that approach this craft as
business, therefore, long term planning and strategies are put in place to
ensure the longevity and strength of the Mighty Crown brand," says Mighty
Crown's manager Garfield "Chin" Bourne of Irish and Chin. "Now that we have accomplished gaining
the attention of major companies and corporations, we are glad to be back on
the road."
Mighty Crown's recent stint in Europe was a special treat
for fans, as the sound's core selectors Masta Simon and Sami T, appeared
together on the tour. Over the span of
their career, it's been rare for Masta Simon and Sami-T to tour together. But because of the demands of their many
fans, the brothers united for the highly anticipated tour. No one was
disappointed! The powerhouse sound laced
venues night after night with music ranging from foundation and culture, to the
latest Dancehall. The crowds consistently roared at the selections played.
"Overall, people in Europe have a strong appreciation of Reggae music and
it was a pleasure to play for them. I am happy that I had a chance to unleash
some big Mighty Crown dubs for the first time ever," says Sami T.
On the recent tour, "The Far East Rulaz" landed in
various hot spots through out Germany, England and Switzerland. According to
Mighty Crown, "Europe was all about music and vibes from the day we
touched down." Masta Simon
declared "Every stop had good vibes. We never realized that we had so many
fans all over Europe! We are truly
blessed." Since Mighty Crown
started touring in Europe several years ago, they have become one of the
market's most requested sounds. The sound plans to return to Europe in December
2012. While Masta Simon and Sami T were
in Europe, New York based member Ninja had numerous U.S. performances.
Additionally, the selector has been holding down his role as co-host of the
popular Sound Chat Radio program.
It's been an eventful Spring and Summer for Mighty Crown,
who will be featured in an upcoming campaign of footwear giant Clarks, one of
the reasons behind their break from touring. This endorsement is on the heels
of high profile media features on Vibe.com and Sirius XM Radio's "The
Joint."
