“We make it cool to be conscious” says Shaka Rock, the oldest of the threes sons of Garth Dennis, a foundation member of Black Uhuru and later Wailing Souls. Gyasi Dennis and King Saeed complete the trinity that is known as Blaze Mob.

After their father started to bring home instruments from every tour, a natural synthesis occurred. They decided to put the instruments to good use at a very young age and became self-taught musician. The boys have matured and now they are blazing!Gyasi says “We are here to give the world a new sound.” A new sound indeed from a new album called “More Consciousness” in stores now. Featuring song such as “Big and Bold”, “let me know”, and the cultivating culturally inspiring song “Marcus Garvey.” Their harmonizing is in-sync ever so eloquently on the track “can’t get away,” which is reminiscent of an R&B tune with soulful melodies. Rasta loving is represented with a splendid head-bopping groove called “kick back.” The title tracks “More Consciousness” is a winner with the lyrics and composition, “uh huh!” All this and more from the 16 track album that is full of life, exciting musical potential and pure vibes.This comes as no surprise as their heritage shows and tells in their music. Coming from 3rd street in Trench Town J.A, their grandmother’s yard was a very popular rehearsal spot back in the day, for Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and many other reggae icons. Their uncle was the talented Musical Director and Producer, Joe Higgs. Their artistic heritage was set, and the Blaze Mob now looks to seal their fate in Reggae History as well.

Their mother, Jenje Judah, is credited for being the planner, overseer and organizer of their lives, giving them tremendous support. Blaze Mob has created their own unique sound that is aptly described as World Beat Reggae. Shaka Rock on the bass, Gyasi Gong on the drums and King Saeed on the keyboards have now morphed in Blaze Mob after 2 name changes. They have been performing since they were very young at Venice Beach in L.A, as Strictly Youth Rhythms, and at The Roxy as Reggae Rock, and then at the Bob Marley day festival as Blaze Mob. As a young kind band they were called S.Y.R (strictly youth rhythms,) and then Reggae Rock.Their father recorded one of their songs on the 1994 Black Uhuru Grammy nominated album “Strong”. The song was entitled “Eye Of an Angel”. They have continued to write and compose all their material.

They have since become members of A.S.C.A.P. Blaze Mob arrived with the release of “More Consciousness.” The album exudes a cross-pollinated L.A./Kingston style that draws from both Jamaican roots and the Hollywood “fast lane”. Shaka Rock expressed that the band is currently adding finishing touches to their sophomore album with an expected release by the end of 2015.
