The Green Brothers have been featured in publications such as Hightimes, Skunk, O.K.Player, The Other Paper, Melt Magazine, and more.

As with most aspiring artists The Green Brothers want to take their trade to the highest rung on the ladder. Touring and continuing to spit out great tunes seems to be a solid and enjoyed focus for them.

Some of Humboldt County’s finest with a mix of flavor from Missouri. Potluck and Tech N9ne join us this week to throw down. T s many of you know has been around for a while and is one of the most successful, if not the most successful underground rap artist ever. His raps with blinding speed send some peoples heads into a spin, but to others its the perfect mix of smooth and hardcore all in one. Southern swang is also something else that comes through with Techa Nina added to this song. Then, add one of the best toke session acts to the party and you have a truly popn song. Potluck is signed on The Kottonmouth Kings label, Subnoize Records and as their name hints to, they are all about the greens.

Best Reggae was won by an act called Indubious. The song is called ‘Ganja Weed’. Self proclaimed West Coast Reggae Funk Pioneers, the tunes that kick out from this group are nothing less than funky. And. I quote from their band description here: “Rising up out out of the fertile soil of Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley, the group of Intergalatic Reggae Revolutionaries known as Indubious come straight from the heavens above to spread the word of love and light through their epic sound.”
So enjoy this tune, and think of other places where intergalactic beings are enjoying, well… Intergalactic Reggae.
