The Hempolics gear up for their forthcoming album with the release of single ‘One Law Fi Dem’, a team-up with soundsystem veteran Macka B. The collaboration captures a tale of the time, indeed a tale of the ages, as Macka B spits “One law fi dem, One law fi you, Do as I say but no do as I do”.
The Hempolics have reworked and updated the riddim of their debut release ‘Serious’, much loved by Massive Attack, and combined it with Macka B’s lyrical greatness to create a monster for the masses. It’s not just the story of the UK right now – but the world over.
“Like Funkadelic playing reggae in a Brixton basement”- Clash Magazine
“Best new reggae band on the planet”- Chris Hawkins, BBC6 Music
“Real vintage lo fi reggae inspired soul music for the 21st century city scape people”- DJ Vadim
The Hempolics have previously had 3 singles playlisted on BBC6, featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist and Me Love To Sing sat on the curated Chilled Reggae Spotify playlist for 2 years. Besides being a renowned UK soundsystem veteran, Macka B has reached new audiences through his healthy eating acapella videos with ‘Cucumba’ hitting over 100M plays and receiving widespread mainstream media attention.
