BOB ANDY & MARCIA GRIFFITH - "Really Together"

Lustre Kings Productions is excited to announce the "Junction Riddim”, produced by the Zion I Kings. This unique riddim boasts a wide-variety of diverse artists from current to veteran talent, while geographically employing Jamaica, US Virgin Islands, Europe and the USA. The composition is exclusive with the use of live instrumentation interspersed with elements of digital programing, dubstep basslines and hip hop production. Performed live in Jamaica at Tuff Gong Recording studio by the Zion I Kings utilizing the drumming from legendary Roots Radics member, Lincoln “Style” Scott. Zion I Kings is a production trio that has been particularly prolific over the last few years, formed from three notable reggae label heads and audio engineers; Zion High Productions, David Goldfine (bass), I Grade Records, Laurent “Tippy” Alfred (keyboards) and Lustre Kings Productions, Andrew “Moon” Bain (guitar).

The first single on the riddim, "For the Children” a combination with LK feature artist, Jahdan Blakkamoore, teamed with rising star, Kabaka Pyramid, was released last spring to great response worldwide. Some intriguing additions to the riddim are present on the full release; the legendary “Dancehall Don-Dada”, Johnny Osbourne among them! It is rare to see Johnny appear on a new release or any riddim compilation and he delivers his classic reggae styling on “We Steppin’”. Another notable combination is crafted by the brilliant Angela Hunte (Jay-Z, Major Lazer) and Holland’s talented Ziggi Recado on “Crazy is as Crazy Does”. Par for the course from Lustre Kings, the mighty Lutan Fyah comes in strong with his Rastafarian anthem “Up in the Hills” urging his community to depart the ways of Babylon and live a more natural existence. Two other names that bring a fresh energy to the riddim are up and comers, Hempress Sativa on “Still Surviving” and Bobby Hustle on “Chatty Mouth”, both making great use of the track. Other noteworthy names that appear are Pressure Busspipe, Midnite. Lloyd Brown and the ever-articulate Mr. Perfect Giddimani.

For almost two decades, Lustre Kings Productions has become synonymous with modern roots reggae music and fostering burgeoning talent. This independent label has carved a name out for itself grounded in conscious dancehall and reggae music. The “Junction Riddim” delivers on all points, once again pushing the envelope of the genre, introducing fresh faces amongst familiar ones while remaining rooted in live musicianship and forward thinking production that resounds thoughtful, creative and evocative messages.

Just take these chains away,
And set me free.
Remove me out of bondage,
And we'll agree.
Too long I've been a slave,
I don't want to be no more.
I'd rather dig my grave,
Than be locked behind a door.

I want to help myself,
Be an independent man.
I don't want no one to give,
Me a helping hand.
Whether you are black,
Whether you are white,
I don't give a damn,
I just want to be alright.

Just take these chains away,
And set me free.
Remove me out of bondage,
And we'll agree.
Too long I've been a slave,
I don't want to be no more.
I'd rather dig my grave,
Than be locked behind a door.

I want to help myself,
Be an independent man.
I don't want no one to give,
Me a helping hand.
Whether you are black,
Whether you are white,
I don't give a damn,
I just want to be alright.

Oh, won't you set me, set me free?
Please, unchain me, take these chains away,
Why won't you set me free?
Please, just take these chains away and set me free..

My Time

by Keith Anderson © Andisongs
from the album Songbook on Studio One

My resistance is getting weaker
I just can't stand the pressure
I can't be any meeker
I've got to find me some of the treasure

I need nothing to be a man
Because I was born a man
And I deserve the right to live
Like any other man

My mind's in such a state
Sometimes it makes me sick
At times I've tried to hate
But I just don't know the trick

I need nothing to be a man
Because I was born a man
And I deserve the right to live
Like any other man

Experience has taught me wisdom
Thank God I've got some life left
I'm getting out of serfdom
My soul has stood the test

I need nothing to be a man
Because I was born a man
And I deserve the right to be
Like any other man

Bob Andy - My Time

She doesn't want me around,
She's got something to hide.
I think she wants a clown,
Someone to take for a ride.

I'm telling her that I'm;
Too experienced to be taken for a stroll.
Too experienced for someone to rock and roll.
Too experienced to be taken for a ride.
I know it's not my foolish pride.

She hates the sight of me,
Because I turned her offer down.
She's always saying we were meant to be,
Somehow she thought I'd be her clown.

This is what I said, that I'm;
Too experienced to be taken for a stroll.
Too experienced for someone to rock and roll.
Too experienced to be taken for a ride.
I know it's not my foolish pride.

(..)

Too experienced for someone to rock and roll.
Too experienced to be taken for a ride.
I know it's not my foolish pride.
