Justice Crew and Sean Paul

Today I have a song for you that resurfaced after over a year since last hearing it. Justice Crew isn't super well known as a music group, rather, they are much more popular for their role as a dance crew. But, believe it or not, this is a group that not only brings the moves but also knows how to create the music for it.

It isn't often that you see a dance crew turn their eyes to the music world. That's the first thing that really intrigued me about Justice Crew. Their path to music is one that is uncommon and even a bit odd. But what I love, is that there is a great ability to dance to this song. I mean the energy is there, the consistent beat, and the dynamism is there, making this an awesome song to turn into a choreographed dance. Of course, that comes from the influence of Justice Crew being first and foremost, a dance group. And to top it off, they have a great routine to go along with their These guys are wicked talented in the dance department, and thankfully, we get to see those sick moves in the music video/ That also happens to be the main reason why I am posting that today instead of just a lyrical video or any other kind. I will say, there is about 57 seconds at the beginning before the song starts, so you may want to skip to that point in the video.

This song is just such a dance anthem, and was one of the my party songs of the year when I first heard it. There is a very good bass support to all parts of this song. One part that I am particularly fond of, is how the bass seems to echo and create a deeper and richer sound to the chorus. The chorus is mainly comprised of the two words that make up the song title, but when Justice Crew puts those words to a bass backing, there is no doubt in my mind that they really do mean it. There is also this slightly islander sound to the music, something that uses a bit more tropical percussion work than normal, but it works so beautifully with the song. It gives the song a little bit of an untamed sound to it, something a little wild and rebellious. This is a song that has absolutely killer beats and is very easy to sing along to. I won't lie, this is not the most lyrically challenging or meaningful song out there, but that isn't the purpose of this song. Justice Crew created this to be a song that people would get on the dance floor to. Mission was most definitely accomplished. Now this is a very big group, and I cannot be sure who sings which parts of the song. But I kind of like how the second verse features one of the members with a deeper singing voice. It contrasts so well with the normal vocals the song uses, and still somehow adds this awesome intensity to it, making me feel like I own the dance floor.

So all in all, I wouldn't say that Justice Crew is a group that is here to make a global impact on the music scene. I will say, that their music is not necessarily half bad, and when you throw in their other worldly dancing skills, well you have yourself quite the sweet combination.

Today's instrumental song is by Sean Paul. I feel like he also has that tropical/reggaeton sound to it, and that is something we all love and can listen out for. This song is probably his most famous, and it is also one of my all time favorites. Called me old fashioned or behind, I don't really care. But this song will forever be an awesome and fun song to listen to. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
