East African Bashment Crew
East African Bashment Crew (also known as East African Reggae Bashment Crew) is a Kenyan-Ugandan reggae group. It consists of three members, Bebe Cool from Uganda, and the Kenyan duo Necessary Noize (Kevin Wyre and Nazizi). All of them were already established musicians when the group was formed in 2005.[1] While the members of the group concentrate on their main projects, East African Bashment Crew reunites every now and then.[2]
Their song "Africa Unite" is featured in the African Rebel Music - Roots Reggae & Dancehall compilation album by Out Here Records.[3]
