about

Meant to reflect the dream and hope of a peaceful utopia; Lion Eye Band's single 'If Rasta Ruled' will have you swaying to the sweet-sounding groove. "Without a doubt, this is one of our most universal sounding tunes..." says front-man Giggy Dread. If Rasta Ruled envisions a world where conservation, green living, and earth friendly practices in general, are abundant.

The track features veteran, Kansas native rapper Dru B Shinin', who lends his creative word play and social lyricism to round out the song. The band's full LP is set to be released at the end of 2016. #ifRastaRuled #lionEyeBand
