    Lyrics:
    Inna Jamaica pt. 2 (2015)


    Welcome a Jamaica
    yeh we deh deh inna Jamaica
    more time mi waan fi spend inna Jamaica
    mi nuh waan fi go away
    a so me tell you seh dis a di place mi waan fi deh

    Jamaica a di place weh yuh affi deh yes
    dem talk straight patwa need fi know wah dem a say yes
    people a bawl down pon dem knees dem still a pray yes
    hope di Almighty will listen to dem prayers yes
    well it nuh matta if yuh deh a Spanish Town or Kingston town
    tun off di phone caw yuh nuh go hear di ring tone
    music loud caw dis a music kingdom
    music come out but dem nuh see no income

    Alkebulan I descendants from but Jamaica mi born and grow
    yellow fi the sun green fi land black for the strength that the people have shown
    over the years they’ve sold exploited resources so we don’t own
    so how can this be my home
    Africa mi saying but still I will welcome you to Jamrock dung in Kingston town
    big sound string up and roots sell by the quarters
    dread natty so dread eyes red from chalwah weh mi unda
    man a rub a dub a hold a dawta
    Mellow Mood’s in paradise living the life on the island of wood and water

    The Gideon seh a bare ragamuffin inna wi clic
    weh we boss it nuh go stick
    disya di island weh di music affi hit it affi hit
    from di zinc fence door up to di real concrete
    Mellow Mood Hempress Sativa Forelock depon di line
    reaching all di humans weh di light still shine
    yuh see how we ready fi bright
    caw we following the Most High guide

    Long time me waan come visit
    dis land mi always hear about it
    yah so da fyah nuh stop burning
    whole heap a youths hear Rasta calling
    real vibe inna my blood a flowing
    Sativa she a drive dis journey
    mi a seh full up enough your soul
    and when yuh full open up your eyes
    disya Jamaica

     

  • Forelock & Arawak - Zero (La Tempesta Dub)

    "Zero" is a 12 tracks album and it marks the debut of Forelock & Arawak, who are starting a new chapter in the italian reggae music. It is produced by Paolo Baldini (sound engineer for Mellow Mood, Dubfiles, Tre allegri ragazzi morti and benchmark for the reggae music in Italy).

    Steel Pulse, Juba Lion and Dennis Bovell are the big artists partecipating in this adventure. The projects is labeled " La Tempesta Dub" , a Tempesta Dischi's sub-label.

    The passion for upbeat music and the celebration of the Jamaican culture are explicied in the seventh track “Raverz", where Arawaks not only arranged a cover of one of the most memorable Steel Pulse's masterpieces, but also involved the singer David Hinds himself. The result is a real reggae party.

    The real protagonists of the whole album are Forelock's extraordinary vocal skills that come out from the bounderies of the musical genre in songs like "Mother's Blood" or "Global Backfire". This last one rapresents a fierce and harsh criticism of our global system and is also one of the most intense vocal tracks included in "Zero".
     
    The album has been anticipated by the single "A Ah Wha We Wait For", another vivid critique to our modern society that is dedicated to those who prefer to stay still instead of opposing.

    “Zero”, the debut album of Forelock & Arawak, is out now via La Tempesta Dub label. Check it out!
