Known worldwide as an original sound system lyrical architect, Mr. Williamz is a critically acclaimed reggae and dancehall artist from West London. Renowned for his explosive live performances and unmistakable flow, he has recorded and performed alongside some of the biggest names in the genre, including Chronixx, Damian Marley, and Major Lazer. Through ongoing collaborations with Shy FX and Reggae Roast, he has firmly established himself at the forefront of UK sound system culture, generating more than 20 million online views in 2024 alone. His distinctive style and cultural impact also led to his acting debut in Idris Elba’s feature film Yardie.

For the first time ever, Mr. Williamz joins forces with both London’s Ignition High Power Soundsystem and Friendly Fire Band — Birmingham’s most active reggae and dancehall outfit, both on stage and in the studio — for a special live performance fusing authentic sound system culture with the raw energy of a full live band. Fresh from the success of the Birmingham anthem It’s a Brum Ting, this unique collaboration brings together dub, reggae, and dancehall in a powerful new format, pushing the boundaries of contemporary reggae performance.

Mr. Williamz and Friendly Fire Band have worked before, with the release of “Saturday Night (Reggae Version)” the “de-mix” of Chopstick Dubplate’s song of the same name, where the riddim was played live by Friendly Fire Band, leading to the Saturday Night Riddim release.

More about Mr. Williamz

Cheshire Cat is a force of nature that has been shelling down dances since his early beginnings as an MC for Luv Injection Sound, before his international crossover hit with Bally Sagoo, and touring the entire planet as part of Leftfield, without ever forgetting his sounsystem roots.

It’s an honour for Friendly Fire Band to collaborate with Cheshire Cat for the third cut of the Alphabetical Riddim, which also features Solo Banton and Myki Tuff.

In a time of deep fakes, and misinformation, Cheshire Cat reminds us that ” jah love it is a ting you know you ago feel”  , an idea supported by Friendly Fire Band’s signature live dancehall riddim, entirely played and recorded live with real instruments : as real as music can come!

Also check out Cheshire Cat’s other releases with Friendly Fire Band:

Mr Wicked Man (Run Away EP 2015)

Nuh Badda Mashup (Black Cab Riddim 2023)

Both vocal cuts are available digitally on all streaming platforms, but the vinyl holds the exclusivity of the tripped out dub , mixed by R. Giorno, and the instrumental played by Friendly Fire Band.

Myki Tuff drops on Friendly Fire Band’s rendition of Work all Day, demonstrating his lyrical prowesses by chanting down the wicked with word, power and sound!

Available on all streaming platforms, it will be available on 12″ Vinyl together with PETER SPENCE’s cut and two dubs next month.

Global Genocide exposes the constant assaults on humanity, from pollution to wars to corruption, reminding us that we only have one planet, and there is nowhere to hide.

Global Genocide is a hard hitting lyric written by Ray Lewis and Owancemus, supported by its upful roots reggae beat played live by the Friendly Fire Band, featuring legendary hornsman Alvin Davis, bringing a foundation feel to the dubby track.

Out on all digital platforms, you can download Global Genocide from the release page.

Friendly Fire Band featuring Myki Tuff present “Alphabetical,” the second cut of the “Alphabetical Riddim” following Solo Banton‘s acclaimed “I Feel Good” that dropped a few weeks ago.

This high energy and lyrically rich dancehall anthem delivers a vibrant blend of cultural pride and education, with Myki Tuff taking listeners through an alphabet of positivity, history, and unity, from A for Africa, all the way to Z for Zion, over Friendly Fire Band’s riddim of the same name.

With Friendly Fire Band’s unique “live-band-dancehall” sound and Myki’s empowering lyrics, “Alphabetical” cements Friendly Fire Band and Myki Tuff as forces of creative and conscious dancehall music.
