New Music Alert: Shem’s Disciples

Share

If you live in the NY-area, add Shem’s Disciples to your list of bands to see live.  Shem’s mix of reggae and live hip-hop draw influences from the soulful spirit of Richie Havens, the hypnotic reggae sound of Peter Tosh, and the tight rhyming flow of Talib Kweli. Season that with an afro-Caribbean and a Middle Eastern spice and that’s Shem’s Disciples.

Take a listen to the first single off their new album 5771/2010. The single, now on itunes, is called Nachum Ish Gam Zu. This track is straight up, real roots reggae that was recorded at Version City studios with King Django.

Starting with this single, Shem’s will release one song a month this year. The next track entitled Days of Old will be available in late November off the Band’s Website and Facebook Page.
