Full Lyrics

I hear the voice of the most high inna my head
Mi tell the youths dem seh fi stop di blood shed
Everyweh mi go mi see di block a run red 
So mi know time a get dreader than dread (x2)

Cyaa siddung cyaa rest 
Dark deh pon di hunt
And yes dem hungry fi yuh flesh
Nah go school but if yuh put dem to di test
Yuh betta run if yuh know what's best yes!
Dem seh dem a this dem seh dem a dat
Bout dem a run the place
Nuh come with nuh lip nuh gi dem nuh chat
Dem have dem gun pon waist
Dem buss up di clip body a drop 
Dem haffi run away
But on your judgment day yuh surely haffi pay

I hear the voice of the most high inna my head
Mi tell the youths dem seh fi stop di blood shed
Everyweh mi go mi see di block a run red 
So mi know time a get dreader than dread (x2)

Inna di city dem a fight 
Babylon system make it hard fi survive
And when di youths dem see the light
Dem cyaa scape from the pressure 
Haffi look a 9 to 5 
Dem neva get a education from nuh school 
Have inspiration but dem treat us like a fool
Nuh longer dem cyaa use us like a tool
Beca we get the knowledge from 
King Selassie I weh a rule

I hear the voice of the most high inna my head
Mi tell the youths dem seh fi stop di blood shed
Everyweh mi go mi see di block a run red 
So mi know time a get dreader than dread (x2)

After mi sit pan top a di track 
I hear dem buss di ra pa pap
Sit pan top a di track 
I hear dem buss di ra pa pap
And we nuh like dat 
Oh no and we nuh like dat

After mi sit pan top a di track 
Mi tell di youths dem fi low the glock
Mi tell police killing need fi stop 
Wi nuh wah nuh hear nuh gunshat 
Cuz we nuh like dat Oh No
And we nuh like dat.

Reggae Gold 2K17 Official Mix | by Chromatic The Ultimate 

Follow Chromatic The Ultimate: @chromaticlive // https://www.instagram.com/chromaticlive/

The official mix by Jamaica’s Chromatic marks the 1st time in the compilation’s history (24 yrs) that a DJ/Sound has been selected to do the official mix back to back. This mix features JR Chromatic (@jrchromatic)+ Heavy D Chromatic (@heavydchromatic) 

It's always a pleasure to do the Reggae Gold mix for VP, most of the songs on the mix are even some of our favorites throughout the year so it's never hard to catch the right vibe when doing it. This year there was actually even a lot more reggae/roots reggae selections included which always makes for a good vibe. We hope people enjoy and appreciate the vibe we were going for in this year's mix. Respect to the whole VP family and all fans of reggae music. – JR Chromatic 

The Art
Reggae Gold cover art has always been a key component of the brand. Reggae Gold 2017 features cover model @lili_ann (Instagram – 29k + followers) with creative direction by Savanah Baker (Photographer) and Philippa Price (Director). VP’s Creative Directors, Stephanie and Christina Chin spoke about the concept for 2017. “We wanted to highlight the moto culture in Jamaica which is such an essential part of the lifestyle. Reggae and motorcycles go hand in hand. The idea morphed into a beautiful dystopian theme with hand-painted body art and a desert terrain. It was also a pleasure working as an all-female team; being able to strike a balance between beauty and empowerment was key,” they concluded.

The album’s photo shoot will be used to anchor a limited-edition print and online zine curated by Richard “Treats” Dryden. The piece will include unique features and interviews with reggae artists and cultural influencers and across the reggae scene. On the international front, London will be the site for the return of the Miss Reggae Gold model search completion, with a major event being held on August 2nd.

“We couldn’t have been more satisfied with this year’s Reggae Gold. There is something for everyone and we wanted to make sure that each song was just as good as the last,” said Neil Edwards, Senior A&R at VP Records.
