Biography
Dub Inc (previously known as Dub Incorporation) is a French reggae band from Saint-Étienne, active since 1997. They combine a range of styles, including dancehall, dub, ska and rap. Their music is also influenced by African music with their songs being sung in a mixture of French, English and Kabyle.
The band has released seven studio albums. The first three, Diversité (2003), Dans le décor (2005) and Afrikya (2008) to Dub Incorporation. However, starting with Hors Contrôle (2010), Paradise (2013), So What (2016), and Millions (2019), they shortened their name and credited the albums to Dub Inc.
Rude Boy Story is the first documentary film released about the band.
