DESCRIPTION:
Improvisators Dub, a group that has specialized in dubwise in the '90s and 2000s. The Bordeaux-based group does not get into dancehall, the harder, cruder, more forceful and abrasive style of toasting that came after dubwise's heyday and is associated with in-your-face artists like Bounty Killer, Shabba Ranks, Lieutenant Stitchie, Ninjaman, Cutty Ranks, and Nardo Ranks (all of whom have been greatly influenced by American hip-hop). Instead, Improvisators Dub has favored an old-school approach to dubwise that faithfully recalls the classic '70s recordings of Jamaican toasters like I-Roy, U-Roy, Ijahman, Big Youth, and the late King Tubby (a huge influence on Improvisators Dub and many other dubwise artists).
