The next step in the Hard Fight? Bring the Hard Du

The next step in the Hard Fight? Bring the Hard Dub. @tippyigrade brought his dubbing magic to Hard Dub, the first of three dubs @johnbrownsbodymusic put out in 2025.

Legendary co-founder and guitarist for Third World

Legendary co-founder and guitarist for Third World, Stephen "Cat" Coore, passed away on Sunday, Jan 18th. A few words on the Reggae Ambassador from @goldswagger_ : "This one really hurts. @thirdworldband has been one of my favorite reggae bands since I was young, and @catcoore73 was one of my favorite musicians. It’s safe to say that without the influence of Cat and Third World, I may not have pursued a career in reggae - so no Cat, no Dub Side of the Moon. I first saw TW live in 1986 and I was blown away by Cat’s guitar and cello playing. I met the band at their manager’s office in 1991 and Cat was super nice to me (as was the rest of the band) and even gave me props for the track that I pitched to them - he didn’t have to do that for an up-and-coming producer/musician like me, but he really took the time to listen. That’s the kind of person he was. We stayed in touch over the past few decades, and more importantly, Cat kept amazing me with his musicianship year after year, both live and on record. I could never repay the debt that I owe Cat for how he inspired me, but I had a small chance to chip away at it a few years ago when RollingStone asked me to contribute to their Greatest Guitarists list - I wrote about Cat and they put him on the list above many more “famous” musicians from the world of rock. Our condolences to Cat’s family, the Third World family, and to all of his friends. May his memory be a blessing."

After working with @runkusinno in multiple capacit

After working with @runkusinno in multiple capacities over the years (his name invariably ending up on the credits for so many of our releases), "3310" marked our first single with the incredibly versatile talent firmly in the lead artist seat. No "trend" following here.

Our first full album drop for 2025 was Off World by @flyingvipers_. The album was their debut release with Easy Star and took our dub pedigree to another level. Only to be taken to another level later in the year....🐍🌎

As we begin a new year of music, we would like to take a moment to look back at the exceptional work produced by the gifted artists we were fortunate to work with in 2025.

"Hard Fight" by @johnbrownsbodymusic was the first single we released from the legendary band in nine years and set the tone for their 30th anniversary in the music game.
