Najashi

 

Najashi is an MC, rapper, hip-hop artist who has been in the music business for many years. He is a vocalist and founding member of the Los Angeles band Dread Daze. Najashi was born of Jamaican parents in New York City, raised and attended school in Jamaica, and eventually returned to the United States to live in Los Angeles.

Coming from a Sound System DJ background, he formed the very multicultural, eclectic Dread Daze about 10 yrs ago. Pulling Reggae apart and putting it back together again with a dose of Hip-hop, a dash of Rock, Ska, and a whole lot of Soul, Dread Daze tunes up the positive vibrations and turns traditional reggae on its ear. The powerful sound they bring forth is uniquely their own, and their music speaks their truth in no uncertain terms.

Najashi has always been involved in projects of his own. He has a monthly reggae podcast and a weekly show on Zion Highness Radio. He has also created many solo projects, his most recent being the dubstep version of “Who Showed You The Rock”, which was well-received by radio stations worldwide. Najashi has also been involved in projects with other artists, among them his most recent collaborations with Motiv8 (DJ with Black Eyed Peas) with “Party Now Go Down”, a dance single that has taken Europe by storm, and singles “Surround Dem”, “Ready To Unite (Lion Paw)”  and now “Ras Warrior” with Tobago reggae artist Neepz.

In November 2021, Dread Daze released the latest band single “Shy” with an animated video that gained a lot of attention.Najashi’s latest project has been an E.P. of remixed Dread Daze songs called “Dance, Dub, Reggae and Remixes” produced by Exclusive Recordings, also out of Los Angeles.
