Unstoppable elders of the L'Entourloop collective, King James and Sir Johnny are proud to present their long-awaited third and new album “La clarté dans la confusion” ("Clarity in Confusion").
The success of their previous albums "Chickens in Your Town" (2015) and "Le Savoir Faire" (2017), with their famous "Banging Hip-Hop Inna Yardie Style" quickly brought L’Entourloop into the spotlight, along with their hundreds of shows performed all over Europe & their hundreds of millions of plays on music platforms.
L'Entourloop has the great ability to gather incredible guests from around the world.
L'Entourloop are the unstoppable elders, King James and Sir Johnny. On the reggae side, Jamaican legends such as Ken Boothe and Bounty Killer meet newgeneration stars such as Alborosie, Kabaka Pyramid, Queen Omega and Marcus Gad. On the hip-hop side Chali 2Na from legendary US group Jurassic 5, Swedish MC Promoe from Looptroop Rockers, US rapper Rêverie, the excellent JuJu Rogers, French beatmaker Degiheugi and the irresistible South African female rapper Dope St Jude all make appearances.
The sensational L’Entourloop has been hypnotizing fans around the globe and invited to perform on no less than 300 stages worldwide. Another striking characteristic of L'Entourloop is the great ability of King James and Sir Johnny to gather incredible guests from around the world. L’Entourloop is composed of King James and Sir Johnny, two DJs whose playful spirit is part of their shared musical DNA.
These beat-crazy “grain-fed” young men are big fans of hip-hop, dub and reggae, which is clear by the toe-tapping, hip-shaking, palm-waving trances they are able to induce in listeners through the sound-system experience.
They know all about a return to consciousness, especially after the periods of confinement during the global pandemic!
Whether with Skarra Mucci and their now classic "Dreader Than Dread" or their excellent EP “Golden Nuggets” (2019), Capleton for the extravagant remix of "Burn Dem Down", producer Panda Dub they collaborated with on "Le Bonheur" or French singer Biga Ranx for their hit "Push The Limits", L'Entourloop has the gift of giving birth to collaborations that mark the spirits.
An album which is a true declaration of love for soundsystemculture and its children - reggae, dancehall and hip-hop. They follow in the footsteps of legendary sound system artists such as Lee “Scratch” Perry (1936-2021), Prince Buster (1938-2016) and Count Machuki (1929-1995). Throughout the album, L'Entourloop testifies in its own way via a puzzle of film samples, of this strange period that we have just gone through collectively, using all its savoir faire when it comes to make the people dance.
The “finger lickin’ good’ French duo behind this internet sensation is truly one of a kind.
Produced in their now legendary Bandulu Studio, the 20 tracks of this new album are the result of a patient production process, carried out with care and passion. To complete this amazing cast, L'Entourloop has once again called on the incomparable Troy Berkley from Bermuda and the talented trumpeter N'Zeng, formerly of Le Peuple de l'Herbe, to accompany the collective on the road alongwith a new addition - excellent Dutch rapper BlabberMouf, who has just joined the killer new live show.
In 2022, following the crisis, L’Entourloop collective provided the world with an invigorating tonic: 20 tracks perfectly orchestrated to resurrect the human spirit. The mysterious collective continues to bring together an ever-growing audience around the world, as proved by their hundreds of millions of plays on music platforms.
With this third album, they wanted to pay tribute to the legendary pioneers of this incredible movement – artists and producers such as Tom Wong, Count Machuki, Prince Buster and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
