Dancehall Singer Chants Hindu Mantra, Channels Fela And Experimental Soul

[Art Laurent]

Chicago based Dancehall-fusion artist MC Zulu has built a reputation
on the experimental nature of his music. Since the 2005 release of
Ransom The Senator, an EP which merged his gruff, SingJay style with
an early form of Grime-infused Dubstep, he has been a leading voice on
the worldwide EDM scene.

Punctuating MC Zulu's unique take on the genre is the full length
"Electro Track Therapy". The ambitious project touches on many of the
itinerant, offshoot genres which comprise Global Bass Music, with
Zulu's almost Protean vocals serving as a common denominator.
Offerings from MC Zulu are generally well received, as they routinely
spend time being among the Top 100 Reggae sellers for many
distribution outlets. This one was no different.

Aiding the success of MC Zulu’s album are several spinoffs from the
project, which have taken on a life of their own. Chicago producers
Searchl1te and Radiohiro have recently released EPs related to their
contributions. Kush Arora’s “Gunshot Riddim” also features Trinidadian
Juakali and Dancehall legend Mega Banton. Additionally for the end of
the year, MC Zulu has lent his voice to a number of experimental World
Music projects. They fall within the realm of fusion, but their
origins are far beyond the influence of Reggae.
