Reggae Artists Scholars Word released 'RISING TIDE' in 1999. It would be their second full length cd after the release of several, now very hard to get singles and EP's. With the release of 'RISING TIDE' in 1999 Scholar's Word set out all over the east coast playing to the reggae fans and receiving rave reviews in return.

"Good new reggae releases are a rare breed in 1999. But like all great reggae, Scholars Word music pleases the whole righteous body."
Dave Renard, The Virginian Pilot

"This band's music radiates reggae's simple pleasures, but with an emphasis on nurturing the mind as well as the heart and soul."
David Beehr, Eclipse
Sarasota, FL.

"...the lyrics are delivered with joyful harmony around snazzy horn charts and enough bottom end to get James Brown on the good foot."
John Harper, The Coast
Kill Devil Hills, NC

The twelve tracks while roots oriented fuse together elements of dancehall and dub as well as roots reggae. From the anthem "Equal Rights" to the dancehall flavor of "Jah-n-I", to the heartfelt lyrics of "You and Me" , 'RISING TIDE' has something any listener can appreciate. As Scholar's Word moves into the new millineum along with its sponsor Zion Roots Wear they will continue to bring people together through their music 'one beat at a time'.
