Southern California collective Slum Beach Posse have released their brand new music video for “Sun Come” directed by Brok Wood online. The track serves as the first glimpse into the group’s highly anticipated upcoming album Slum Beach Posse Vol. 2, due out later this year through Slum Beach Records in partnership with Controlled Substance Sound Labs, the independent artist distribution division of Silverback Music. 
Filmed against the backdrop of the beaches, streets, and laid-back lifestyle that helped inspire the project, the official music video captures the brotherhood, adventure, and free-spirited energy that defines Slum Beach Posse. The visual serves as an introduction to both the song and the collective itself, offering fans a firsthand look into the world that shaped the music.
“‘Sun Come’ is the first of 11 songs that make up Slum Beach Posse Vol. 2. The album was recorded on Oahu, and we really got to dive deep and spend intentional time creating this record. We’re thankful for these songs and for each other. It’s a very special project for us, and we’re stoked to finally share it with everyone,” said DENM.
“The music speaks for itself. Our bond is much bigger than just a posse — we’re a family. Far from perfect, but we all share the same goal, which is to do your best and keep moving forward. Don’t let your past determine your future,” added Jesse James Pariah.
Led by artist, producer, and creative mastermind DENM, Slum Beach Posse was formed from a tight-knit group of musical outcasts that includes Landon McNamara, Jesse James Pariah, and Benny Ranks. Built around a shared passion for surf culture, reggae, punk, and raw independent artistry, the collective first came together during a week-long jam session and recording retreat at McNamara’s home on Hawaii’s North Shore.
What started as an organic creative experiment quickly evolved into Slum Beach Posse Vol. 1, a breakout project that resonated deeply with fans and helped establish the collective as one of the most exciting new forces emerging from the modern reggae rock underground. The project has since amassed more than 40 million combined streams across digital platforms.
With “Sun Come” the group expands on the loose, sun-soaked chemistry that made their debut project connect so strongly with listeners. The single captures the spirit of late nights, ocean air, and the unfiltered camaraderie that defines Slum Beach Posse’s sound and identity. Paired with the newly released music video, the song offers the most complete look yet at the collective’s unique blend of reggae, alternative rock, hip hop, and surf culture.
The release also arrives ahead of a major milestone for the group. On August 8, 2026, Slum Beach Posse will perform their first-ever live show at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, supporting Slightly Stoopid alongside The Movement and Pepper. The band’s second live appearance will follow at Brighter Daze Festival on August 29 and 30, supporting Rebelution and Wiz Khalifa.

WHO IS THE SLUM BEACH POSSE?
Like any legendary collective, Slum Beach Posse is built from distinct personalities, different backgrounds, and individual stories that all collide together under one vision. What DENM created wasn’t just another reggae band. He assembled a crew of surfers, outsiders, lyricists, and misfits who each bring their own energy into the chaos. Together, they’ve become reggae rock’s version of an underground supergroup — a family tied together through music, struggle, addiction, redemption, and survival.
DENM
Much like RZA’s role inside Wu-Tang Clan, DENM is the producer, visionary, and mastermind who assembled the pieces of Slum Beach Posse together. Known for blending reggae, alternative rock, hip-hop, and coastal Southern California energy into a raw genre-bending sound, DENM built his career both behind the boards and onstage. Emerging from the underground as a performer and Grammy-winning producer, he became known for emotionally honest songwriting, infectious hooks, and collaborations that helped shape the modern reggae rock scene. Within Slum Beach Posse, DENM acts as both creative leader and sonic glue, bringing together artists who may have never crossed paths otherwise.
Landon McNamara
If DENM is the architect, Landon McNamara is the spiritual center of the Posse. The Hawaiian singer-songwriter and acclaimed big-wave surfer brings the emotional weight and island soul into the collective’s sound. Known for blending reggae, alternative music, and deeply Hawaiian influences, McNamara’s music reflects the spirit of surf culture, family, and resilience. His presence gives Slum Beach Posse its heart, balancing the group’s darker themes with warmth, melody, and introspection.
Jesse James Pariah
Born on Kauai and shaped equally by surf culture and personal struggle, Jesse James Pariah represents the rawest edge of Slum Beach Posse. His music fuses reggae, alt-rock, punk attitude, and deeply personal storytelling into something unpredictable and emotionally charged. Balancing a pro surfing career alongside music, Jesse embodies the restless spirit that runs through the collective. He’s the member most likely to turn pain, addiction, and chaos into cathartic songwriting.
Benny Ranks
Every collective needs somebody who can shift the energy of a room instantly, and for Slum Beach Posse, that’s Benny Ranks. The Southern California vocalist, guitarist, and rapper brings melodic hooks, smooth flows, and undeniable charisma into the group’s sound. Pulling equally from hip-hop, reggae, and alternative influences, Benny acts as the connective tissue between the Posse’s beachside melodies and streetwise swagger. Whether live onstage or in the studio, his energy gives the collective another dimension entirely.
Together, Slum Beach Posse feels less like a traditional band and more like a movement — a collection of flawed but gifted individuals who found purpose, brotherhood, and redemption through music.
