Mighty Crown Steals When Dubs Did Nice!

Mighty Crown "The Far East Rulers" thrilled fans in Toronto, Canada recently by inviting surprise iconic dancehall artists Brigadier Jerry and Johnny Osbourne to perform live dubplates on their sound during a hardcore sound system exhibition. The event, geared at capturing the historical essence of 'sound clashing' - called for the use of real 'steel' dub plates and surprise guest artists. This proved to be a landmark moment on Mighty Crown's "Driving Force Tour" for numerous reasons, as Johnny Osbourne has not performed in Canada in over 20 years and has not performed with Brigadier Jerry in over a decade.

"It was a historical moment performing on Mighty Crown with the legendary Brigadier Jerry," says Johnny Osbourne. "This performance brought me back to the good old days....Big up to Mighty Crown for respecting Foundation artists!"

"I had a blast! The crowd gave us such an overwhelming welcome with whistles, yells and cheers....it was a sight to see," says Brigadier Jerry enthusiastically. "It's been a good while since Johnny Osbourne and I have worked together and he performed wonderfully. We did a combination that was even more wicked than a solo performance....this event was really, really nice and I am ready to do it again!"

These two purveyors tore the place down performing live dubplates. Can you say wicked? The moment was monumental as the two artists vied for the crowd's attention, delivering a flawless exchange of lyrics and vocals.  Osbourne belted dubplate style versions of his hits while Brigadier Jerry leveled the crowd with his unique lyrical flow. Mighty Crown certainly moved heads with this feat, bringing the rare combination of these powerhouse acts to Toronto. Let's just say, this epic performance sealed the deal for Mighty Crown as leaders in the sound system arena.

One of Mighty Crown's goals on the "Driving Force Tour" is to show fans that through all the success and ventures, music is the root....music is their DRIVING FORCE. What a great way of celebrating their ode and passion for music with the delivery of music legends Brigadier Jerry and Johnny Osbourne! Mighty Crown's explosive Toronto performance recaptures the essence and deep connection of sound systems and artists. Think of it as a history lesson for the new generation of dancehall fans in attendance, as before actual dubplates these took the form of live and unique performances by artists on sound systems.

Mighty Crown Leaves European Fans Wanting More!

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."
