Sublime with Rome ft. Wiz Khalifa - "Can You Feel It" (NEW ISH)


I was always a big fan of Sublime back in the day because of their dope combination of rock, reggae, ska and even a little bit of Hip Hop.  They were a little ahead of their time because not many bands had started to combine multiple genres like that but they still ended up being pretty huge thanks to hits like "Santeria", "What I Got" and "Wrong Way".


Unfortunately, the lead singer Brad Nowell died of a heroin overdose right before their successful major label debut album Sublime hit stores and they were never able to make another album together again. Luckily, the surviving members have formed a new version of the band with new lead singer Rome Ramirez who has a lot of versatility and a similar style to Nowell.  He's different but still has a similar style that isn't completely jarring when you hear the new version of the band.  It seems to work really well.  I'm sure some of the hardcore Sublime fans will never be able to deal with the change but I think most can get down with this new version of the band. 

This new track "Can You Feel It" featuring Wiz Khalifa off of their new album Yours Truly takes advantage of their popularity in the Hip Hop scene which was a real nice move.  I'll admit that I wouldn't have learned about their new album if it wasn't for the Wiz feature and now I'm downloading the album as we speak. Well played.
