Early 2009 was a phenomenal start for rising reggae artist Jimmy Screech to say the least. Having supported world renowned heavy weight artists such as Roots Manuva, Ghostface Killer (Wu Tang Clan) Ugly Duckling and shared the stage with Mark Ronson, Jimmy needs little introduction.
With previous collaborations under his belt with Ricky Ranking (Roots Manuva/The Bug) the Grammy nominated Tippa Irie (Black Eyed Peas/Saxon Sound International/Sublime) Jimmy's talents are a much sought after commodity. Having already recorded with The Nextmen on a track for their forthcoming album ‘Join The Dots’ and with Roots Manuva featuring on Jimmy’s much anticipated album; it's not just the great public that have taken notice.
From the incredible underground success of the previous singles ‘Wood 4 The Treez’ and ‘Scandalous’ (feat. on iTunes ‘Best Of 2009’), we now present the double A Side ‘Jamaica’ and ‘Fly Away’ released on MAP Music 7th September. Fresh from remixing Roots Manuva’s 'Slime and Reason’ album, DJ Wrongtom lends his unique remixing skills to ‘Jamaica’, whilst rising producer Crooklyn Static provides his remixing talent on ‘Fly Away’.
Catch one of Jimmy Screech’s electrifying live sets this summer on the Banana Klan Tour alongside staple supporter Roots Manuva, Ricky Ranking, Dawn Penn and Black Biscuit.
