about

Dubbed "riddim professor" by the Boston Phoenix, Wayne&Wax wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on the thirty-year interplay between hip-hop and reggae. While living in Jamaica in 2003, Wayne initiated a series of digital music workshops in high schools and prisons around Kingston while conducting research, and recording an album’s worth of songs, interviews, and soundscape samples. The resulting album “Boston Jerk” was full of thick beats, rich textures, and brilliant lyrics.

“A It Dat” features vocals by Wayne alongside Jamaican dancehall vocalists Dami D and Wasp. This mega-single features the original dancehall flavored tune from “Boston Jerk” in addition to the instrumental and acapella versions, plus a pair boombastic remixes by DJ C.

REVIEWS

“An academic who has taught an electronic-music history course at Harvard and is working on his dissertation on hip-hop and reggae's symbiotic relationship, Wayne&Wax puts his theory into practice, dropping beats and rhymes with Jamaican DJs Dami D and Wasp on the bouncing mutant dancehall of ‘A It Dat.’ Those wanting to come up with their own alternate theories can work from the acapella and instrumentals of the track but will have a hard time matching the junglist jump-up remix by Mashit founder DJ C.”
- Grooves Magazine

”...it's really good... weaving together dancehall-inspired beats, collaborations with Jamaican deejays (meaning MCs), field recording type elements, and his own rhyming, to end up somewhere kinda in between Pirate Flava and Original Pirate Material. Makes you think maybe all academics should make records to flesh out their theories and research findings.”
- Simon Reynolds

“This track is taken from the album ‘Boston Jerk’ - music [Wayne & Wax] wrote, apparently, to accompany a dissertation entitled ‘Routes, Rap, Reggae: Hearing the Histories of Reggae and Hip-Hop Together.’ Don't be fooled by the academic reference - ‘Boston Jerk’ is full of humour and is a smart north american take on the contemporary Jamaican sound. This is being released through Mashit - a label I only recently discovered and I felt very sorry that I hadn't got there sooner! A mainstay of the label is Boston's DJ C, purveyor of some damn fine breakcore.”
- Fat Planet

“Phat moving and grooving neo-jungle with full hip hop vocals out of the boston underground. Ragga-halftime intro, breakdowns and sizzling amens. Also includes the mighty hip hop original (plus instrumental & acapella). Flows like Larry Bird on a bassline-drive.”
- NTT Distribution - Germany
