The reggae-funk, dancehall hip-hop energetic genre-benders, The Dubplates release a powerful get-off-your-seats and dance single and an epic animated lyric video "UH HUH," from their upcoming album Box Full Of Steel set to release on June 23, 2017. The core members Big Hair (David Brisacher) and Daddy Brady (Brady Waggoner) and their nine-twelve piece award-winning band have a reputation in their hometown of Charleston, South Carolina for bringing various cultures and diversity to the dance floors and equally importantly, breaking the reggae/dancehall scene for the conservative community.
