Natural Dread Killaz
Natural Dread Killaz is a Polish band working at the intersection of reggae and dancehall, founded in 2003 in Wrocław, specifically within the Biskupin environment. The core line-up consisted of brothers Manuel and Daniel Rengifo Diaz, known as Mesajah and Paxon, together with Grzegorz Janas, known as Yanaz. The group’s rise is closely linked to the online release of the song “Obudź w sobie lwa.” That momentum led to the 2005 debut album “Naturalnie,” which established the band as one of the clearest new Polish acts blending reggae, ragga and hip-hop into a local urban style. The band did not build its name through singles alone, but quickly developed a live profile through festival appearances and support...
Artist Trivia
- Natural Dread Killaz came out of a very specific local environment, with sources naming Wrocław’s Biskupin district as the group’s place of origin, which gives the band a strongly rooted identity.
- Their career began through the online circulation of the song “Obudź w sobie lwa,” at a time when that route to visibility was only starting to solidify in Poland.
- The debut album “Naturalnie” was described from the start as an explosive blend of reggae, ragga and hip-hop, while reviews also pointed out that the group worked with its own backing tracks rather than relying only on ready-made riddims.
- In a later phase, the band was joined on stage by Riddim Bandits, the backing group that also appeared on the album “Ile lat...,” marking an important move toward a fuller live sound.
