Bio:
Hailing
from Long Beach California, Chapter 11 is a live Reggae/Hip Hop group
that has been together since 1998. Their album recordings blur the lines
between live instrumentation and sampled loops and beats. Live shows
are pure energy and emotion. The sound could be described as a perfect
blend of traditional Jamaican Reggae rhythms mixed with Hip Hop street
smarts.
Chapter
11 is signed to Surfrock Intl. in Japan. Surfrock is an indie label
that is distributed by major label Pony Canyon Inc.. Surfrock maintains
the Japanese license agreement for Fuel TV which is a great avenue for
promoting their music. Both albums (Live & Direct, Going For Broke)
have been released in Japan and a tour is currently being discussed.
In
the USA, Chapter 11 has organized their own label (Dime City Records)
and is currently being distributed in all forms of major digital distribution
outlets.
The
album Live And Direct features Tim Wu of Sublime/LBDAS playing sax/flute
on 8 songs and Aaron Owens of Hepcat playing guitar on 4 songs. All
horn work on the album Going For Broke is also by Tim. Other features
on this album include Khari Santiago from the Def Squad and Big Nes.
Chapter
11 is currently in the studio working on a third studio album. Guest
artists will include: Edley Shine of Born Jamericans, Field Marshall
of Sublime, Bobo David of Judgement Yard (Sizzla Kolanji's Camp), Phileano
of Skunk Records, Big Nes, J Ross Parrelli, Tony Tigerstyle, and Tim
Wu.
