Bay-C from T.O.K just released some more hit tunes on the captivating Nyabinghi Riddim produced for his own Bomb Rush label. Not only the riddim, inspired by the traditional Nyabinghi drumming of the Rastafarians, calls on the rebellious past of enslaved Africans in the Americas. Tarrus Riley reminds his compatriots of the "warrior spirit inside", encouraging them to take a stand against oppression and discrimination in the tradition of Paul Bogle, Shakazulu, Lumumba, Kuntakinte, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Selassie I and Nelson Mandela.
Busy Signal and Cobra wonder about the violence and sufferation in the society and present serious charges to the "bigger heads" and plea for more love, unity and upliftment.
Konshens is disgusted by the numerous irresponsible fathers and encourages parents to take good care of their youths. Chris Martin's sweet "Journey of Love" closes the riddim with a homage to the true love that conquers all evils of Babylon.
The excellent production with 6 outstanding songs is soon to be pressed and released on 3 different vinyl-singles:
Tarrus Riley - Shaka Zulu Pickney
