Kulcha Don's Bio return to top

Kulcha Don is no newcomer to the music scene.  His career officially started when he began traveling and performing with New York's number one reggae sound system ‘Down Beat.’   He is one of the most charismatic and adventurous performers in any genre.  The album  'Blood Ina Me Eyes - Vengeance’ (Roots Entertainment/Lightyear/WEA) displays a staggering range of influences in its wonderfully diverse mix of reggae dancehall, hip-hop and R&B that crosses all boundaries.


 With intricate rhythms and infectious vocals, Kulcha is before us with blood in his eyes, and an attitude that says nothing will stop him or stand in his way. The first single 'Hot, Black and Sexy,' remixed by New York's legendary DJ Bobby Konders, features reggae songstress Nadine Sutherland and is firmly anchored with the reminiscent sound of dancehall standards.   The hypnotic hip/hop remix 'Big Things' features the distinct and high-energy flow of M.O.P. coupled with Kulcha's playful lyrics. 'MC Is My Ambition' further explores the fusion of hip hop and dancehall's explosive combination.


 Kulcha has performed with Tupac, Shaggy, Notorious B.I.G, Mad Lion and Salt ‘n’ Pepa.  C&C Music Factory invited him to be a featured artist on two cuts on their album and a remix featuring the reigning dancehall queen, Patra.  He collaborated with one of Jamaica's hottest dancehall artists Spragga Benz, and they later performed together at Sting International – one of the island’s biggest annual reggae shows. 


 After landing a recording contract with Ruffhouse/Columbia Records, he was soon sharing the spotlight with The Fugees as they toured to promote the album ‘The Score.’   After collaborating with them on three songs for his debut album, which was not released, he took a self-imposed hiatus to refocus and redirect his career.  During this time EWFM, a film and music production company in France, signed him to record a dance album.  As a result, Kulcha toured Europe extensively capturing an international audience.


 The tracks on this album compete between the deep pull of reggae bass lines and the upbeat march of hip-hop. Alternately offering fresh, challenging and even nasty beats, Kuclha’s vocals sway from the rapid-fire delivery of rap to the trademark keening, singsong chants of dancehall. The provocative and often explicit content of Kulcha’s lyrics are a clear reminder that he’s here to seduce. Those that blush easily, be advised,  Kulcha Don was born on Valentines Day, perhaps explaining his dexterity in describing the lustful images that accompany his music.   

 
 ‘Blood Ina Me Eyes’ marks Kulcha’s debut with Roots Entertainment, a Manhattan-based label distributed by Lightyear/WEA and founded by Yinka Dare, a professional athlete formerly of the New Jersey Nets.
