passing of Measure 91 than warmly
welcoming the chart-topping roots-reggae
band Fortunate Youth, whose sponsors
include RAW Rolling Papers and Cannabliss
Clothing and whose merch includes
T-shirts emblazoned with “Love is the Most
High.”
The six-dude Hermosa Beach-based
outfit recently released their fourth album,
Fortunate Youth Dub Collections, Vol. 1, an
album featuring electronic remixes of
songs off previous albums (and, of course,
weed references).
The dub study takes the slow-body
sway of the reggae guitar riff and
combines it with electronic synths, but
with no beat drop. The result? A genre
fusion fit for an electronic-loving crowd
who also has Bob Marley posters taped
above their beds. That fusion goes even
further when the original acoustic
“Skankin” (from 2012’s Irie State of Mind)
transforms into a sunny, pseudo-’80s pop
song on “Skankin’ Dub.”
Perhaps the next step is for them to pair
with OMMP, with songs like “Farmer”: “Now
Mr. Farmer, please fill the air with some
good marijuana/ I need the medicine, this
herbal doctor.”
Fortunate Youth perform with fellow
California bands The Expanders and
