In The Middle Of It

Light My Way

Lyrics:
Whoa yea yea 
All come together now
Whoa yea yea 
Moving in the rhythm now 
Whoa yea yea
Come on dancing in the rhythm right now

I remember the first day I walked through the door
Looking around this place I'd never been before 
Moving with rhythm and harmony 
Connecting universally 
We find peace in the melody 

Sound clash with the crowd growing louder 
Hold this feeling
Vibration of a people growing stronger 
Hold this feeling
Right here where I wanna be
California roots family
Everyday the music saves me

From the east to the west
To the north to the south 
Tell me what it's all about 
People playing music 
Reggae music til the sun goes down
Front to the back to the left to the right 
Smiling faces all around 
If you feeling good
Come on everybody scream and shout 

From the east to the west
To the north to the south 
Tell me what it's all about 
People playing music 
Reggae music til the sun goes down
Front to the back to the left to the right 
Smiling faces all around 
If you feeling good 
Come on everybody scream and shout 

Whoa yea yea 
All come together now
Whoa yea yea 
Moving in the rhythm now 
Whoa yea yea
Come on dancing in the rhythm right now

Sound wave of sensation lift me up 
Spirit flying so high yea we can't get enough 
Flowing in freedom so gracefully 
Embrace the feeling of frequency
We find peace in the melody

Sound clash with the crowd growing louder 
Hold this feeling
Vibration of a people growing stronger 
Hold this feeling
Right here where I wanna be
California roots family
Everyday the music saves me

From the east to the west
To the north to the south 
Tell me what it's all about 
People playing music 
Reggae music til the sun goes down
Front to the back to the left to the right 
Smiling faces all around 
If you feeling good 
Come on everybody scream and shout 

From the east to the west
To the north to the south 
Tell me what it's all about 
People playing music 
Reggae music til the sun goes down
Front to the back to the left to the right 
Smiling faces all around 
If you feeling good 
Come on everybody scream and shout 

Whoa yea yea 
All come together now
Whoa yea yea 
Moving in the rhythm now 
Whoa yea yea
Come on dancing in the rhythm right now

Dancing In The Rhythm

Stay Close

“Earth a Run Red”, “Youth Dem Cold”, “Brown Skin” and “Jah Never Let Us Down” are a few  of my favorite songs by the legendary singer, Richie Spice. In 2012, I opened for him at the Star  Theatre in Portland, OR while on tour with Bambu Station. Almost a decade has passed since  then and I’m honored to be able to share our collective passions and perspectives with the  world through music. 

“Richie Spice Live at 2019 Summerjam Festival (Germany)” is a performance that forever lives  rent free in my mind. From his catchy hooks and timeless lyrics to his powerful stage presence,  Richie Spice has been a catalyst in my music and in my life. I find myself rewatching his  performance from that festival often, mostly when I need creative inspiration or to get hyped for  a show. Richie Spice is a creative powerhouse and an icon in my eyes and I’m honored to have  collaborated with him on our new single “24.” 

“24” speaks about the constant fear that has been embedded in us through life. If we only had  24 hours to live would we still have the same beliefs and actions? 

Earlier this year, Drumwise producer Calvin Canha sent me a handful of instrumentals and this  beat caught my ear immediately. After writing the hook and a few verses I reached out to a  good friend of mine Zack Reed who connected me with Richie out in Jamaica. I knew Richie  Spice was the perfect fit to bless this track. Calvin’s been a consistent sound of Inna Vision  since the first album in 2008 and I’m glad we’re still raising the bar with our creativity and  musicality.  

To make “24” the best sounding sonically we had the opportunity to have it mixed at Bob Marleys Tuff Gong Studio in Kingston Jamaica by Roland Mcdermot. We wanted the song to  have that clean, authentic Reggae feel with big low end so we looked no further than the  foundation. - Koa Lopes (Inna Vision)

@bananasutra lyrics: 

[Hook]
Tell me, tell me, is it in the mirror?
Or hiding in the jokes when the room gets clearer?
If love’s universal, why you drawing them lines?
Bananasutra asking questions, messing with your mind.

[Verse 1]
Is it when you clutch your purse on the late-night train?
Or when the résumé gets tossed for the “wrong” last name?
Is it system-made, or just “a couple bad dudes”?
Or is it brunch talk, served with fair-trade food?

What if you laugh at a meme, but it cuts like a blade,
Would you still call it harmless, or truth in the shade?
If color’s just skin, why’s the history so loud?
Why the silence when the wrong ones speak too proud?

[Hook]
Tell me, tell me, is it in the mirror?
Or hiding in the jokes when the room gets clearer?
If love’s universal, why you drawing them lines?
Bananasutra asking questions, messing with your mind.

[Verse 2]
Is it subtle like perfume in a Sunday crowd,
Or heavy like a cop’s knee pressing too loud?
Is it “I don’t see race”, but you kinda still do?
Or is it blaming all the problems on “a chosen few”?

Would you trade your skin just to borrow their shoes?
Walk the block, pay the rent, get stopped with no clues?
If fairness was real, would you lose your place?
Or would equality feel like you’re in second place?

[Bridge] 
What’s the weight of a word when it’s not meant for you?
What’s the cost of the dream when it don’t come true?
If justice is blind, why she peeking through her mask?
Here’s a question, baby, don’t be scared to ask.

[Hook]
Tell me, tell me, is it in the mirror?
Or hiding in the jokes when the room gets clearer?
If love’s universal, why you drawing them lines?
Bananasutra asking questions, messing with your mind.

[Outro]
So what is racism, honey, is it yours, is it mine?
Or just a ghost in the closet we pretend’s benign?
Keep on asking, keep peeling the skin,
’Cause the fruit gets sweeter when the truth kicks in

⁉️‼️🍌

Nearly a century ago, in the year 1920, the honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey prophesied:

“Look to the East for the crowning of a Black King, he is the Redeemer for the days of deliverance are near.” 
 
In the spirit of the great ancestor, an army of Roots Reggae soldiers have organized and centralized in a musical tribute to our forefathers (and mothers) who have paved the way for Rastafari culture and Afrikan liberation theology as I & I carry the torch into the new millennium.

The "To Di East" Riddim, available on all digital music platforms as of April 6th, is the brainchild of the Jah-N-I Roots Movement in collaboration with the Bantu Nation Movement. Both collectives operate out of Boston, Massachusetts with seasoned musicians, Jahriffe & King MAS respectively, as the spearheads of each production team. The musicians responsible for this instrumental, infused with a celestial tone and vibration, are one of Boston's top musical ensembles known as Circadian Riddims. Many recognize the potency of the "American Reggae" music coming out of Hawaii and California, but this heavy one-drop Reggae release will give you a reason to look "To Di East".

In the opening number, Jahriffe teams up with Jamaican Reggae veteran Warrior King. Drawing upon the often quoted biblical verse "in my father's house are many mansions," the warriors cry out for "tolerance" and unity in these times of division and strife amongst nations.

The dub heavy sound of the project is due to the masterful mix provided by the skilled hands of Wadadah II of the D.O.V.E. Muzik recording label out of Chicago, Illinois. Emerging from this powerful musical camp, founded by Tzaddi Wadadah I circa 1983, 2 vital messengers are featured on this project by the names Kazayah & Ras I-Dre.

Kazayah sets the tone early on with her "mission" statement urging one and all to put aside "petty prejudices" and "come together" with a tone and delivery both hypnotic and captivating. 

Ras I-Dre, a young fierce lyricist from Jamaica, then invokes the entire pantheon of Roots Reggae legends (past and present) in a tune paying homage to all who have maintained the vitality and integrity of this "Sweet Reggae" music throughout the years featuring vocal harmonies from Kazayah.

As usual, King MAS reaches into the ancestral realm as the "musical Obia man" and highlights one of the founding fathers of the Ashanti kingdom by the name Okomfo Anokye. "Can't Draw We Out" brings light to the sword that Anokye drove into the ground during his time as an Ashanti high priest in the 17th century. Anokye stated that "if anyone removes the sword, that marks the end of the Ashanti kingdom." The legendary sword, which remains unmoved & can still be seen in Kumasi today, inspired this musical tribute expressing solidarity between the people of Ghana and the children of the bloodline carried into the diaspora.

Finally, Jahriffe reveals more musical Mdu Ntr as he encourages one and all to "be who you come to be" and recognize your own divinity. "God Body" is followed by the "Spiritual Ancestor" dub mix by Wadadah II which any Roots Reggae practitioner would do well to add to their collection. As we move through the vernal equinox, the light of the sun rising from the east has overtaken the darkness enveloping the planet during the winter months. Just like the ever increasing power of the sun, look out for more heat from these Reggae warriors and light bearers ‘trodding’ from the east and chanting "To Di East".
