About Me

Starting from very humble beginnings in the rural woods of Okanogan County, Eastern Washington State, Sick Donkey Records co-owner BlueJay (aka DJ Sticky) and other founding label members; Huckleberry, and Essential I have been collaborating for the last five years. The record label’s first official release was Jahson Ites album, Forward Outta Babylon, featuring Essential I, DJ Sticky, and Adrian Xavier. Since then, the Sick Donkey Records Conscious Music Showcase continues to tour as a unit with Jahson Ites, Essential I, Huckleberry and DJ Sticky. The second release from SDR was Essential I's debut album FreeDem SoulJah an 18 track album with a blend of Reggae / Dancehall & Hip-Hop featuring Promoe (of LoopTroop Rockers - Sweden) as well as the other Sick Donkey Records label mates.Over the past few years, the label has expanded out to work with artists and producers globally with talents from nearly 20 different nations. In 2009, Sick Donkey Records has released its third full-length CD, the 19 track various artists compilation, Standing Firm Riddim. The compilation features the Sick Donkey Records stable artists, Jahson Ites, Huckleberry, and Essential I and a full array of top global Reggae artists.

The Powerhouse: A Review of The Standing Firm Riddim by Various Artists
"Im trying to get some immense ‘ballpark’ figure into my head of relatively how many different Reggae riddims I’ve heard in my entire life... I’d probably say that I’ve heard somewhere in the neighbourhood of fifty-thousand or so. While that number is undoubtedly wrong.....
...when I hear one that REALLY grips me and my attentions...when the actual riddim itself dazzles my senses, then I know that I’m dealing with something...
...the Standing Firm riddim itself has a MAJOR claim on being the single best riddim I heard altogether in 2008 and its subsequent album is truly one of the most INTERESTING that I’ve heard in quite awhile and should have a place FIRMLY in the collections of most fans of modern Reggae, worldwide...
...One of the best riddims I've ever heard."

WORLD C.U.P

The World Consciousness Unification Project, or World C.U.P. is a way of bringing conscious, positive and uplifting recording artists from all reaches of the earth together in, and for, unity. In doing this we think it possible to spread a peaceful and important message to people in all walks of life. Also, The World C.U.P. will bridge the gaps between social classes, races, nations & continents while providing an optimistic approach to bettering our ways of life and our natural habitats. With this project we plan to bring perspective to a global society in need of a positive outlook. The project will consist of collaborations and individual contributions by well-known artists and composers as well as lesser-known upcoming artists.

The Standing Firm Riddim CD is only the first installment, the spark to the fire, which is this movement. With the support of artists and fans we hope to turn the World C.U.P. into a renowned movement for the advancement of consciousness and unity through cultural music.
