Lyrics
ANSWER TO YOUR NAME
Like to tell you a story about a girl I know
Or should I say a girl I used to know
1971 inna England
Fresh off the plane to my dame inna Brixton
No, she never ask 'bout flight
Two month now no telegram write
Hey, she send taxi fi I
She gone a some house party tonight
So call me artical like
Make a few call get a couple invite
Inna the place me gone
Never leff Yard from the day me born
Right up front who me staring pon
You can tell say a she by the way she gwaan
Christine, Christina, Crystal
Try all a dem and she still never respond
Understand, catch a pree from a distance
Man hand gone inna pants fi a six-pance
Whoa! Tuff guys beside her
She naa reply when I say hi to her
So dem go try bring violence in the parr
Need I remind these kind that I nuh war
So me turn fi walk away
But a likkle voice in my head start talk to me
Tell me walk right pass her
To the sound, take the mic and ask her
Girl! Why don't you answer to your name?
Girl! Why don't you answer to your name?
And girl I know you see me
And you know I see you too
So what is it gonna be
Tell me what you wanna do
What's with this great mystery
After all that we been through
Now you're refusing to look my way, eh
My likkle darling
Know she stay so from morning
Where she grew was appalling
Want fi make it right so she take the flight
Heard the city lights calling
From the day she been crawling
All she hear bout is foreign
Say we a keep the link
Now wah me fi think see the plans dem sinking
Deep, new year reach
Accent gone pon all part a you speech
Don Gorgon dem u waa fi go meet
Like she be the real topanaris a street
Please, watch how me calmness a do it
Naa bat a lid, as a morning I leave
But how me fi walk right pass you miss
Haffi look inna you eye and ask you this
And I know you know what I'm talking about
Girl see you in the crowd and act like she don't know
But me naa take no stylin', no punkin' or no joke
(huh?)
Girl why you dweet (Girl why you dweet!)
Girl why you dweet (Girl why you dweet!)
No it no sweet (No it no sweet!)
No it no sweet (No it no sweet!)

The cover photo for roots reggae artist Yung JR’s EPK “Start the Movement” has been released. The EP set to be released in spring 2015 is the first for the upcoming artiste. Ababa Reid, the son of renowned reggae artiste Junior Reid has been familiar with music from an early age looking up to not only his father but other great artistes such as Hugh Mundel and Ini Kamoze. Yung JR gained recognition following the release of his first official single “Raggamuffin”. By the time his second single “General” was released Yung JR seemed to have gained a rather large fan base both locally and internationally.
Currently on tour on the west coast with U.S. Reggae band Natural Vibration, Yung JR also recently appeared on the popular reggae show, Rebel Salute. Produced by himself and brother Adoney Reid, the EPK is said to include productions from Adoney himself, Zinc Fence Records, Digital B Records, Flash Hit Records and Bassick Records.
When asked about his journey and the inspiration behind his “Start the Movement” EPK, Yung JR had this to say, “It’s a joyful yet humble feeling. The inspiration really came from my I and my brother regular reasoning where we saw the need to create a musical project and incorporate a practical aspect to it. We believe music should not just stop at recording and performing but really getting out there to give a helping hand where needed and participating in events that’s for the good of mankind.”
Orisha Sound and Sizzla Kalonji collaborate on a new track - "EMBRACE IT (remix)" and just released a brand new video for the song. "Embrace It (remix)" was produced by Jamaican producer Shel-K Williams and Russian DJ Ryan Otter. This track is a powerful fusion of reggae/dancehall and EDM styles.
Who Knows Dub - the collaboration artwork with Winta James, Protoje and Chronixx is the second title piece for the Audio-Visual EP "TENFOLD: Opus". The project is a collection of collaborative Visual pieces with producers and musicians, in which we interpret each others work to come together for one audio-visual piece.
This piece was inspired by the duality of inner peace and anxiety.
