SUMMARY:Jesse Royal w/ Royal Khaoz LIVE at Assembly - Kingston\, NY
DESCRIPTION:Jesse Royal LIVE at Assembly - Kingston\, NY\n\nhttps://www.tix
 r.com/groups/assembly/events/jesse-royal-176704\n\nJESSE ROYAL\nJesse Roya
 l broke out in 2014 with the runaway success of the single “Modern Day J
 udas\,” and solidified his position at the forefront of the genre in 201
 7 with his debut full-length Lily of da Valley (Easy Star Records). That 
 album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae Chart and impressively hit #13
 1 on the Billboard “New Album Top 200” chart and #36 on the “indepen
 dent albums chart.”\n\nJesse Royal is continuing to establish himself an
 d his unique brand of reggae music across the world. Keeping the genre ali
 ve is Jesse Royal’s mission as he continues on the legacy of the late gr
 eats Bob Marley\, Peter Tosh\, and Jacob Miller\, to name a few\, even as 
 he begins to push the boundaries of his own artistry. Following Lily of d
 a Valley’s release\, he has toured around the world continuously\, becom
 ing a fixture at festivals and with his own headline tours\, especially in
  the US and Europe.\n\nDuring his career\, Jesse has already been featured
  in Vogue magazine\, has made a Vice TV appearance\, garnered a #1 Jamaica
 n single\, and accumulated over 8 million views on a single video. Royal
 ’s ambition is to bring his music and vision to a worldwide reggae audie
 nce and beyond. Alongside the successful career launches of his friends an
 d peers – including Protoje\, Chronixx\, Jah 9\, Kabaka Pyramid\, Mo
 rtimer\, and others – Jesse has helped spearhead a popular return to con
 scious lyrics and messages in modern reggae.\n\nRoyal’s latest single 
 “Natty Pablo” is inspired by the many layers of Rastafarianism and the
  criticism it faced from the general public over the years\, only to have 
 come full circle with many of those same critics now following many of the
  lifestyle choices that Rastas have been advocating for years. “Natty Pa
 blo” reintroduces his unique take on modern reggae featuring the sociall
 y-conscious lyricism and classic style he is known for ahead of the releas
 e of his highly anticipated sophomore album release.\n\nROYAL KHAOZ\nHaili
 ng out of Jamaica\, young natives formed what is now known as Royal KhaoZ.
  The unit’s sole purpose is to bring an energetic and raw vibe through t
 heir art\, presently in the form of music. Why the name Royal KhaoZ? – 
 “No revolution will be had without chaos\, no change without disruption.
  From the crumbled standards and forms\, a royal way of thinking will rise
 .”​\n\nThe collective comprises of Jermaine “Bama” Williams\, Andr
 e “DreTegs” Hawthorne\, Kavi “Coco” Forgie and Damion Hawthorne. T
 he group\, which officially formed in 2010 out of New York City\, has evol
 ved tremendously over the years as they continue to create music that deli
 vers an empowering message to their audience\, old and new listeners alike
