WHEN Far East Rulers Mighty Crown announced plans for their Dynasty World Tour in celebration of their latest Nike sneaker, the requests for clash dates came calling.

“Anxious to ‘warr’ again, Mighty Crown accepted some clashes, along with a number of juggling dates. Notably, Mighty Crown’s recent holiday set of performances on the tour yielded two wins (in Canada and Atlanta) and a landmark juggling set in New York,” a spokesperon for the group said.

In Canada, Mighty Crown took on the likes of Roots Man and Lexxus Supreme in the heavily-promoted ‘Three the Hard Way’ clash. Despite some time out of the clash arena, Mighty Crown proved themselves capable against their competitors. As a cushion between the two clashes on the line-up, the sound breezed through New York and left a lasting impression on dancehall fans at Steelie Bashment’s annual fete.

Mighty Crown continued their momentum on Thanksgiving night in Atlanta when they faced off against popular African sound Shashamane.

Mighty Crown’s Dynasty World Tour kicked off in October 2009.

“The Crown’s Nike sneaker was a hit, selling out quickly in every venue and online. The limited edition kicks are now a collector’s item,” said Crown’s manager Garfield ‘Chin’ Bourne.

Recently, Mighty Crown has eyed competing against big local sounds. This choice is not without merit. “I like the concept of Mighty Crown clashing with local sounds, as it helps introduce Mighty Crown to the next generation of clash fans. Many top local sounds have strong fan bases of young people....I want Crown to appeal to them,” Chin said.

Mighty Crown still has tour dates lined up in Europe later this month and in February 2010. Meanwhile, March/April 2010 will land Mighty Crown in the Caribbean and select cities in the US.
