Big Youth - Man With A Mission 7"
SKU: FTR047
Description:
Another scorcher for DJ superstar Big Youth! Earlier this year, The
18th Parallel teamed up with Big Youth on the rockers one drop
‘Long Road’ released on Skankin’ Society Records. Now they are back
together with a second single called ‘Man With A Mission'.
Super heavy rub a dub riddim driven by a powerful bassline and none
other than legendary Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace on drums. Horns
blowing like the trumpets of Jericho, moog synthesizer lurking like
a haunting ghost and thunderstorm spring reverbs create an
apocalyptic atmosphere perfectly suited to Big Youth’s poignant
vocals.
The power of this song comes from the way it was recorded. March
2013, downtown Kingston, 45 Charles Street at night. Gunshot in the
neighborhood, police in the streets. Big Youth was outside the
studio. He went right through the recording booth, never gave a
listen to the riddim, ask the engineer to roll and put his heart
and soul into the song: no filter, no second thought, just pure
inspiration and message in the lyrics. One take. This is the most
spontaneous and genuine testimony you can get from the magic of
studio vibes in Kingston. Another masterpiece from Master Jah
Youth!
‘Man With A Mission' is part of the upcoming 18th Parallel
album ‘Downtown Sessions’ to be released November 18th on Fruits
Records.
