Local reggae singer Marlon Asher will leave T&T on Friday for a tour of the United States with American hip-hop group, Kottonmouth Kings.
Asher has three tracks on the Kottonmouth Kings’ newest album Krown Power.
Asher is expected to touchdown at Denver, Colorado at the Summit Music Hall; Colorado Springs at The Black Sheep, Farmaton New Mexico at The Top Deck; Salt Lake City Utah at Club X and Las Vegas at The Vegas Hempfest.
Asher, globally known as the Ganja Farmer signed to one of T&T’s leading record labels and has toured the world including: Hawaii, Africa, New York, New Orleans, Texas, California, Miami, Washington DC, Boston, Los Angeles, Berlin, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Austria, Belize, Canada, London, Holland and South America.
Krown Power has been described as an 18-track (a whopping 37-track in deluxe version) album of good vibrations, love of bass and weed, and attitude set to hardcore hip hop, horrorcore, and reggae.
Asher features on the track Pump Up Da Bass, Don’t Feel Down, and Ganja Glow.
The first track lays back the feel Asher is known for as well as channeling another influence, 311, with a pinch of Sublime in this ode to bass beat. Don’t Feel Down, a 311-esque anthemic tune of just being happy, the listener is above ground.
Asher makes an encore in Ganja Glow, a reggae track set to the double-timed lyrical delivery of their God-given right to smoke.
Krown Power delivers on their likes, namely weed (a relevant topic when this album was being produced), with some hip hop bass mixed in, in spades.
Musically, it is a feast with some fun lyrical combinations in an otherwise one-theme album as underlying themes might get buried to the average listener in all the various references to said herb.
This will be Asher’s 46th tour since 2007, making it possible with Woodruffe & Woodruffe Booking and Management, Clearport Fly Entertainment and 3 Cornerstone Management, USA.
