Interesting video of the King Isaacs with his roots firmly planted in JA. It’s always weird watching these things after the fact.
Rest In Soul.
Free Buju B! The US Government is unjustly preventing him from making bail.

Reggae Vibes: Ray Darwin
Reggae Vibes are the nice vibes.
Vinyl Is Love. Big up Brooklyn.
Reggae Vibes: Romain Virgo
Nice vibes to play for your lady when you want to take a break from the gangsta anthems.
Bright young star Romain Virgo continues to impress me with each musical offering. He reminds me of a younger Wayne Wonder and with some seasoning, he can be as successful as Mr. Wonder.
Boops!
Wayne Wonder.
Reggae Vibes.
Big Tune! Hands off the President aka The Don Dudus.
Billboard did a nice write up on Bunny Wailer and his thoughts on creating this song.
Reggae Rewind: Mad Cobra
I’d like to send a get well shout out to the Reggae Star Mad Cobra. Some goons were trying to send a message to the Don and managed to shoot him in the shoulder. A few days later, they shot up his house on the Gaza side.
I hope the violence can stop as there are way too many Reggae Stars who’ve lost their life to the physical gun as opposed to the lyrical one.
^^Mad Cobra roasted Sean Paul on this riddim. Put two fingers in the air and lick a shot to salute the Don next time you hear this tune in a party.
^^An original rude bwoy anthem. The NEW name in fact.
^^Not a one trick pony, the Mad Cobra knows that sometimes you must put the tough talk on the shelf and discuss issues with the ladies. Issues like why women should feel secure in their relationships if they are the wife already and the flip side for single ladies when a gal’s man is running you down..
No Cobra salutation would be complete without his RnB infused smash hit from the early 1990′s, FLEX which is a classic tune in its own right, but also shares the same riddim as Buju Banton’s infamous napalm letter to the Chi-Chi men Boom Bye Bye.
A word to the youth. If you were born from 1992 through about 1995 or even later, there’s a grand chance that this song is the reason for your being. That’s right, before Viagra your parents were getting it in with FLEX. So just in case you come home early and you hear this song rocking, you might want to go next door by Chris and play a few extra games of Super Street Fighter, as your folks lick two shots for the Mad Cobra.
Friday Reggae Vibes
Have a fun and safe weekend. Live it up – Live it up.
Sunny Afternoon Vibes.
Who Jah bless let no man curse.
Big up the RedMan cut with the Marley sample as well. Turn up the Bass on those speakers!
Reggae Rewind: JR. Cat 1985
Next time you hear Mavado’s “I’m So Special” or Serani’s “No Games” for the 100,000,000th time, think back and remember the early days of Dance Hall music. It’s sure come a long way.
Check this video of Super Cat’s little brother, borrowing the elder Cat’s style and most likely clothes!
