Baldread and the Raggamuffin Crew? That's right!

Bay area Reggae and World Beat singer, songwriter, and producer Mustapha Craig Ward, (AKA Baldread), and his band called "The Raggamuffin Crew," are climbing the A/C Top 40 Charts. Their music is being played in more than 17 different markets around the USA and in Twelve countries.

The group's second CD titled, "Inna Dancehall" features 18 hot tracks of Ragga music featuring positive and uplifting messages of family, love and happiness! CD was recorded at Track studio in Hollywood, Ca., and mixed by the legendary "Scientist."

The band is also working on a new CD titled "Kyanka" for release in 2005.

Baldread, who composes most of the band's music, also provides lead and "toast" vocals. He chose his rather unusual stage name as a tongue-in-cheek twist on the genre's traditional dreadlocks - he can usually be found sporting a clean-shaven head!

The Raggamuffin Crew is composed of well-seasoned musicians from all over the united states who now call the Bay area home and share in the positive vibes of reggae music.

In addition to being a talented musician, Baldread is also a community advocate, donating time to community programs and mentoring to "at-risk kids" through alternative school arts programs.

"Young people are looking for good adult role models," said Baldread. "You can't always see it, but its true, Art programs help promote leaning skills, poetry and song writing. If you can tap into that creative spirit, you keep their minds going in a positive direction and away from destructive or nonproductive activities."
