NATTY NATION is a Madison, Wisconsin based roots, rock, reggae group
from the Heartland of America. The genre bending group is known
throughout the world for how easily they weave conscious lyrics, heavy
rock, dancehall, and dub into traditional roots reggae; on their newest
release, “Inatty in Jah Music,” NATTY widens their scope to include
hip-hop (“Rasta Revolution”), even heavier rock (“Satisfy”), harder
dancehall (“Inatty”), some traditional nyabinghi (“Wise and Prudent”),
soaking wet dub (“Dubwise and Prudent” by Scattershot), and even a
little drum ‘n bass (the ”Rasta Revolution” remix, also by Scattershot)
to name a few. “Inatty in Jah Music” is a 15 song 74 minute
composition which takes you on an emotional roller coaster, while
continuing to be a coherent journey from beginning to end.

NATTY NATION has been absorbing the heart breaking loss of band member.
Jeffrey Maxwell to cancer in late 2001. Due to some studio wizardry,
his voice can be heard on two songs as well as in some of the
thoughtful and entertaining interludes between tracks. In this time of
war, neo-conservativism, and corporate domination, NATTY NATION stands
up to say that the music community needs more Inatty (i.e. unity), and
therefore they preach “Inatty in Jah Music.” Peace.

NATTY NATION's positive reggae vibes and messages are creating a stir
in the music community.
NATTY NATION's unique roots rock and funky reggae enlighten and unifiy
people from different cultures. They're on a journey and their mission
is to spread the music and the word of JAH. NATTY's purpose is the
elimination of negative vibration. The driving beat of NATTY NATION
will make you not only want to jump up and dance, but to listen to the
message of the music.
