Natural Black (Reggae Artist) - Press Release September 11, 2009
NATURAL BLACK GREETS FANS IN NEW YORK, RELEASES NEW VIDEO
Reggae Artist Natural Black has made some major changes this year. Now a member of the Fifth Element Records family, Natural Black finds himself visiting New York on a regular basis. This energetic stage performer made appearances at several events this Labor Day Weekend in New York. His first stop was the Meet & Greet held for the artist on Saturday, September 5, 2009 at Vibes Café in Brooklyn. This event was hosted by 5th Element Records with assistance from Desperado Promotions. Natural took pictures and signed autographs for a crowd of awaiting fans. Ajax, mc/selector for Blunt Posse, showed his respect for the artist by playing dubplates voiced by Natural Black especially for Blunt Posse. Natural, humble as ever, gave the dubs a forward and enjoyed the vibes along with the crowd. Fatboy, Natural Vibes selector, joined in and also played a few dubplate specials from his sound. On Sunday, Natural Black greeted fans at the the 7th Annual Irie Jamboree in Jamaica, NY. Natural Black was afforded the opportunity to shake hands and take pictures with fans, as well as greet other entertainers.
Reality-focused and conscious best describes the lyrics from this anointed artist. In a recent interview with Natural Black, he expressed his thoughts on keeping things positive in his music and in the industry. “..mostly the Roots Culture, the Rasta Culture. A positive force pushes Natural Black.” He feels that he was called to push positive music and has “accepted this calling”. Natural Black, a native of Guyana, has been living in Jamaica for over ten (10) years to really work on his music. He frequents his hometown several times a year. In his spare time, he likes to travel and spend time with fans. A humanitarian with a big heart, he also spends time studying ways to improve impoverished areas. “I take time to study the people and see where their heart is”, is the way he describes these efforts.
In his recently released video, “Revolution”, Natural Black sings, “I was forced to be a part of the revolutionary movement.” The video can be seen on Natural Black's YouTube channel. The video was filmed in Jamaica and utilizes the island's lush tropical vegetation as a dramatic backdrop.
For his next album slated to drop in November, Natural Black is studying instruments such as the guitar and keyboard. He will have collaborations from other genres such as hip-hop and neo-soul. His hopes are to cross over into these areas. “Music is life.” For his fans he says, “Watch out for the album.”
