Chinese Connection Dub Embassy: “Crew Vibes”

The Reggae band Chinese Connection Dub Embassy was created by Omar, David, and Joseph Higgins in 2010, bringing hard-hitting originals and revamped covers that leave dance floors Irie all around. They released their first LP in 2013, The Firm Foundation, with the lead singles “Heavy Meditation” and “Tyrant”. They’ve played festivals all over such as Beale Street Music Fest, Wakarusa, Grateful Fest, W.C. Handy Fest, and they’ve opened for such artists as T-Pain, Bone Thugs & Harmony, The Wailers, The Slackers, and Mephiskapheles. After the passing of their fellow band leader/brother Omar Higgins in 2019, Joseph and David are now leading the band to continue the legacy that was built on the foundation of unity. They took a newer Dacehall & Roots Reggae approach to their 2020 project Crew Vibez.
