Last year our bredrin James mentioned he was planning a studio session with Linval Thompson in Kingston. I didn't know Linval was still recording and asked if he would be willing to do some work for Akashic. James said send some rhythms and it turned out there was one King Alpha rhythm that Linval liked. We reasoned about the rhythm and decided that 'Jah is the Conqueror' could sound good on it. They worked hard in the studio and everyone was pleased with the results. The original rhythm got lost in a hard drive crash and it took some months to build a new one. Here is a sample of the results - I am beside myself with the tremendous response so far. Linval's voice is still as sweet and strong as ever.

Lyrics

Ras up up up, yeah
Some dread it up
And locks it up
Some wrap it up
And smoke it up
Some skank it up
Dem nuh ras up
I and I clean
I and I strong
I know the symbol of the royal lion
I and I in 
And rule the scene
24-7 round the clock a nazarene, yeah
 
It's not the dread
It's not the smoke
It's not a matter if you're rich or if you're broke
It's not the color 
It's not the cloak
Rastafari is a behavior few jokes, yeah
Who let them in
To run amock
Who let them 
They don't give a ----
Who let them in
Just want a buck
Dem nuh ras up
