JIMMY SCREECH

‘Wood For The Trees’

Single released 3 December, 2008.

There seems to be a lot of reggae around these days either as borrowed beats on sub-prime new pop talent or as retreads of the old classics re-released to cash in on the summer (what summer!).

 Once in a while there’s one genuinely thrilling new talent who bursts on the scene with the right roots and with a singular vision for his music.

Jimmy Screech is about to release a new single, called ‘Wood For The Trees’ which is instantly catchy both melodically and lyrically. One listen and you will be hooked!

This talented SE Londoner has been paying the dues over the years MC-ing at hip hop jams to a soundtrack of Run DMC and Public Enemy but his reggae heritage goes back even further.

His parents played all the classics when Jimmy was growing up and this ‘roots’ effect had a profound impact on the young Jimmy as he always felt a real passion to connect with the generation of his parents-the Windrush generation.

“I’ve always loved the positive vibrations of reggae and the assertiveness of hip hop so in my mind bringing both genres together was always going to be the most natural direction for music to go in.”

Jimmy Screech - In this life

Mapmusic presents "In This Life" the album from Jimmy Screech.

Neo retro beats infused with reggae. Funk and hip-hop. Jimmy deals with as many headlines and social issues as the daily rag without the self righteousness. His non--offensive but deep delivery provides hypnotic listening pleasure. Jimmy's style is so tight you'll ask which came first, the lyric or the beat.

Jimmy is a multi faceted artist with a big bag of tricks, and can switch easily between UK ragga style to urban hip-hop. Jamaica has Sean Paul while can proudly boast Jim Screech. He offers something for everyone and in doing so he crosses the bridges of age, colour and class genres

This is radio friendly, new age funk combined with a poignant, lyrical insight providing a welcome juxtaposition to current hip-hop acts

Cosmopolitan London has a brand new sound

Jimmy's Magazine Reviews

Jimmy Screech 'In This Life', Banana Klan/Trailblazers.

"I summon up the power of banana clan!" says Roots Manuva on his massive UK/worldwide hip hop anthem Witness (1 Hope).

Here's the debut album on Roots Manuva's label Banana Klan/Trailblazers from South London's talented UK MC/producer, Jimmy Screech. Jamaica has Sean Paul, while we proudly boast Jimmy Screech! Hyped as one of the next big things in British black music, Jimmy is a multi-faceted artist dealing with many topics and social issues without being too self-righteous. His non-offensive tight delivery switches effortlessly from chatter to ragga style hip-hop. Production from various artists adds digital dancehall beats infused with reggae and funk, all with a distinctly London sound.

This is an album that offers something for everyone, young and old, crossing colour and class genres with enough clout to keep the heads happy, and some very radio friendly moments. Very exciting British music of today.
