If you're still struggling to explain to the 'rents that "dope" means something different now, try using this as an aural example. The Capetown crew one-ups the Caribbean hybriders by joining not just reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop, but also African vocals and blazing, techno-heavy beats.
The African Dope Soundsystem is a tight collaboration of Capetonian dub, reggae and dancehall DJs, MCs, live and electronic musicians, studio producers and video artists.
Every member of the soundsystem is at the top of their respective field in the South African music industry, making the African Dope Soundsystem an ALL-STAR lineup.
The sound is a fresh hybrid of local and international styles, ranging from dub reggae through to electronic dancehall, all songs featuring original African vocals, tight beats, accoustic musicians, electronic soundscapes and deadly subbass riddims.
