Producers Sheldon Pennicott and Sekou Davis, are the two guys behind the name Young Veterans, project started in 2005 when Davis met Pennicott @ Di Street Studio.
Since then is been magic : they have been the production masterminds behind some of the songs we hear on the radio. The two have slowly built stream and made a name for themselves with singles from Konshens such as “Rasta Imposter”,”Young Black & Powerful”, “Wolf Inna Sheep Clothes”, as well as rhythms such as Substance, Kalashnikov, After Effection Riddim.
Their latest project Dream Dayz, a one-drop reggae rhythm that also got international attention, mainly on the European market, with the likes of Bugle, Perfect, Nico D Maverick, Teflon, Hyahslyce, Fyakin, Spanna Banner, and many more Jamaican recording artists voicing on it.
Latest projects from Young Veterans are the music singles from Opal, a short compilation called Jah Protect featuring Konshens, Maverick, Shawn Storm, Perfect and Ninja Ford, as well as an album with Perfect titled “The Good Side of Bad”.
Another big recognition came from popular artist M.I.A. doing a remake of Opal’s “I Said It.’ for her album, the “Rhaatid” album, which was a compilation of successful singles and popular songs from past rhythms and their ‘Jah Protect’ rhythm which was done in the last quarter of the yearwas featured.
Jah Protect is been by far the most successful, as this was what really put them on the map and opened the public’s eye to the group and featured popular artists such as Chris Martin, Perfect, Maverick, Konshens, Garrizon, Shawn Storm, among others.
Good Side of Bad is their latest project, Perfect’s album, they recently started working on it and is still not complete and they surely will settle for nothing but the best.
