JIMMY SCREECH ‘SCANDALOUS Single Released: 6TH APRIL 2009 You may already be aware of rising British reggae star Jimmy Screech from the success of his previous single ‘Wood 4 The Treez’ released in December 2008 to critical acclaim. After an incredible run of dates supporting the legendary Roots Manuva in October, Jimmy returned to the stage with Californian Hip Hop trio Ugly Duckling accompanying them on their entire run of January dates. With his young history drenched in roots reggae traditions, along with the influences he drew from attending hip hop jams whilst growing up on the estates of South east London, Jimmy found himself creating a whole new sound; "I knew my music was different from everyone else’s but I didn't really know what to do with it". Gaining prior street level success recording and releasing his own music with underground acts like Ray Keith, Genuwine and Urban Gemz, Jimmy is set for big things in 2009. Now signed to exciting new label MAP Music, we’re proud to present Jimmys second single ‘Scandalous’, an energetic bashment/dancehall track from the new album due for release in Summer 2009. Also featured on the single is new track ‘Dub Style’ featuring the vocal talents of Ricky Ranking (Roots Manuva/The Bug) the Grammy nominated Tippa Irie (Black Eyed Peas/Saxon Sound International/Sublime) and new rising artist 2Nice. With collaborations as heavy as these, Jimmy Screech is transcending at breakneck speed from cult icon into one of the leading young British reggae stars of 2009. Be sure to catch one of his unmissable live shows over the coming months. “Smart lyricism and mainstream hit potential” METRO, ONE TO WATCH “A distinctive and distinctively English voice.. bodes well for the full album in 2009” THE INDEPENDENT, ONE TO WATCH “wholeheartedly recommend… worth checking for sure” ****IDJ MAGAZINE “entertaining with a capital “E.”” ECHOES MAGAZINE “the colourful musician is ready to shake up the music industry” NEW NATION “unique” THE VOICE
