THE MAKING OF THE "HOME TO ME" VIDEO OCT.08
Mobadass' happy-go-lucky demeanor and supremely danceable songs have earned them fans from Tokyo to Toronto. With Earl Pereira (Wide Mouth Mason) as their lead, Mobadass is renowned for their phenomenal live show-mixing reggae, electro-rock, dance and soul. Hear 'Home To Me' on radio across Canada!
SPRING BREAKS!
May 2009 marks the kick-off of the spring tour of popular hip-hop
specialist Kyprios and the fabulous island rock sounds of Mobadass!
Sweatshop Union's Kyprios is arguably Canada's finest emcee and has provided hit after hit from his solo album “Say Something”. Mobadass features - Earl Pereira, the original bass funkmeister of one of Canada's best live bands Wide Mouth Mason.
Collectively, both have 5 Juno nominations, over 300,000 albums sold worldwide, and over 3000 shows under their belt. This more than guarantees a show stopping performance combining the flavours of hip-hop and electro-reggae-rock in an action packed 90 minute set!
In 2008 the two old friends got together to collaborate on each other's albums.
The result is a groundbreaking hit song called 'Nobody Knows', which tells a story of what can happen when someone slips something hallucinagenic in your drink. A radio and video release for the song is scheduled for Fall 2009!
Hear this future smash hit and more music from Kyprios and Mobadass on Itunes!
