Scholars Word

Scholars Word has just released its newest cd entitled 'MAKE WAY'. The disk contains 12 original roots and dub reggae tunes and is available for purchase on this site, at our shows and all over the web, including i-tunes and cdbaby.

Scholars Word is a reggae/dub band based out of Florida, USA. Never one to compromise the sound or message of reggae Scholars Word has strived to remain true to the art while maintaining their original style and letting their different musical influences shine through. The band has been together almost a decade touring the eastern U.S. on a regular basis and having also toured parts of California and the Western US. The group released (Dec. 1, 2006) its cd "HOW LONG" which features TEN new tracks full of conscious lyrics, roots riddims and a dose of DUB. Not ones to shy away, the release is full of politically and socially charged themes such as the title track which asks each one of us "How Long?". During the summer 2006 Scholars Word was on the 'Eastside Theory' Video Premiere Tour along the east coast from New York to Florida. 'Eastside Theory' features surfing in New York, Australia, and Hawaii as well as a soundtrack featuring Scholars Word and other international artists such as Hawaii's Humble Soul, Portugal's Three and a Quarter, NYC's Seer, the Hilltop Hoods & many more.
