March 2, 2009, New York, NY – Juakali, the celebrated host of North America’s premiere dub-step event (Dub War) today announced the completion of his second studio album. Due for commercial release by Foreign Familiar on March 27, 2009, the album ‘Come From Yard’ solidifies JuaKali as the bridge between a new aesthetic in electronic music; one that includes reggae, dancehall, dub-step, and Bhangra.
“My work is the genesis of combined experiences. I am from Trinidad and Trinidad lives in me. But, living in the US and having the opportunity to travel the world means being exposed to a variety of styles and genres. These are the circumstances, which influenced Come From Yard. ” said JuaKali.
The (4) four original songs on Come From Yard include an additional (4) four remixes featuring the production styling’s of prior collaborators Kush Arora and Matty G, along with co-resident, Dub War honcho Dave Q among others. The stand-alone track ‘Nah Understand’ features the dub-step production of Toronto’s XI and already has DJs and blogs talking.
Reflecting an unchallenged edge to his performance style and lyrical content garnered from spotlight tours in India, Holland and Czech Republic, fans from around the world recognize JuaKali as one of the few American ragga vocalists that have been making waves in the bourgeoning global electronic music scene.
April 2009 will mark the start of select appearances nationwide in celebration of this release. Visit http://www.foreignfamiliar.com for further details.

Biggles!!!
None more deserving. One of the few MC's who I feel have any clue what the hell they are doing when they pick up a microphone. Your time bro! Heard a couple on the XI and Bombaman Streamizm show earlier and they are livin large. Definitely copping this album.
