LYRICS:
A no every smile a smile 
Sometimes it takes a closer look to really realize 
To see beneath the Jacks of many faces wearing smiles 
If our visions were X-ray we’d see the evil in their eyes 
And a no every friend a friend
A nuff of them deh round but just a few are genuine 
Connect yourself with Jah and you will feel their energies 
Nuff want fi see you fall and woulda trade fi anything 
But I tell you just be 

-Chorus-
Careful of the ones 
The ones you call your friends 
‘Cause nuff of them a snake 
They’re filled with jealousy 
And they will let you down 
And keep an eye out for the ones you call your family 
They laugh with you today 
Pretend them genuine 
And they will let you down 

No think them always have your interest at heart 
Stop move like you no know say them will sit down and plot 
Nuff a them rather see you behind bars 
Never get too comfortable 
Pree them from your eye corner 
'Cause if you lapse them sell you out fi one burger  
Imagine what them woulda do fi millions and billions 
Smaller your circle a di better my brother 
Tings a get so dread might have to pree your own father

-Chorus-

Eyes them stay peeled like an orange  
Plus Jah deh pon mi side no need fi be worried 
Rastaman a no fool no watch the grin 
Might buss a little laugh that no mean me not watching you 
I man been burnt too many times 
Imagine how it hurt when you trust them till you blind 
I a tell you the truth people no nice 
If a that you did a pree beg you think that over twice 
And be

-Chorus-

Careful

A year after their groundbreaking sophomore album Nick & Astro’s Guide to the Galaxy LP, Potatohead People are back with a collection of instrumentals, remixes and B-sides. They’ve tapped some of their favourite producers from around the globe for remix duties, and spiced things up a bit by holding a remix contest from which one winner was picked from an overwhelming number of submissions - needless to say it was not an easy decision!

Opening up the release is a brand new original from Potatohead People - “Iced Tea,” which features vocals and a guest verse from Vancouver’s giorgi and Radina Vee - a perfect smooth jam to ease into Summer. Up & coming Australian producer TEYMORI (aka Amin Payne) puts a mid-tempo house flip to “No Sleep Til MTL,” but kept all the soul. Next up, the boys give us a taste of an early demo take of “Liftin’ Up” that features an extended instrumental outro, giving a completely different vibe from the album cut. From 100+ entries, Nick and Astro chose Russian producer Infinite Blaq’s remix of “Quest For Love,” which sped things up a bit and added a funky, meandering synth bass line, horns, and sax to the catchy vocal line. Following this, Kerem Akdag brings a classic West London broken beat touch to “Do My Thing.” The Istanbul-based producer has a self-titled out on the UK label Dimensions and has received praise from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Osunlade and Detroit Swindle. DJ Spinna’s groovy Galactic Funk Remix of “Morning Sun” joins the remix collection after the success of the 7” released in February, while Oakland’s 10.4 ROG brings a dreamy wonkiness to “All Alone.” Closing out the remixes is Brooklyn’s Sam O.B. (fka Obey City) - known for heading up the AstroNautico label - with a disco-tinged take on “Quest For Love” featuring additional vocals from the man himself that’s itching to heat up the dance-floor. Sandwiched between all the remixes are the instrumental tracks for “Do My Thing,” “Morning Sun,” “All Alone,” and “Change of Heart.” Finishing up the record is another new Potatohead original, “Nightcap,” which does exactly as advertised, bringing end-of-the-night, smokey jazz club vibes to accompany your drink of choice.

Nick & Astro’s Instrumentals, Remixes & B-Sides EP is out on Bastard Jazz Recordings April 26th.

Brian Cummings, better known by his stage alias Metric Man, is a reggae and hip-hop musician based in New York and the D.C. area. Originally from Trinidad, Metric Man’s lifelong obsession with music started at the age of 6 in a local calypso competition. By the mid-90s, his work as part of the soca/reggae group Culture Clan put him on the map in Trinidad alongside other talents such as Bunji Garlin and MX Prime. In 1997, Metric Man joined the rapso fraternity, a prestigious niche with a devoted following in the Afro-Caribbean music community.

After moving to the United States in 2004, Metric Man began actively pursuing his roots in reggae because, as he put it, the genre “had the perfect BPM for his socially conscious lyrics.” Since coming to the U.S., he has shared line-ups with beloved artists such as Ky-Mani Marley, Yellowman, Barrington Levy, Sister Nancy, Junior Toots, and more. 2009 saw him on tour with renowned artist Bushman. In 2012, Metric Man was featured at Catalpa Festival which had him alongside Snoop Dogg, AraabMuzik, and A$AP Mob.

Most recently, Metric Man has collaborated with Proper Villains on a side project, Fire Alarm, which is currently signed to Feel Up Records and will see a full-length release in 2016.

His unique fusion of hip-hop, dancehall, reggae, and soca makes Metric Man an incredibly versatile performer whose voice can uniquely shape shift to match the vibe of his surroundings. With his mission statement to “achieve global unity, equal rights, and justice for all mankind” through the power of music, Metric Man’s focus on building a stronger community through his roots in Afro-Caribbean soundscapes makes him stand out amongst the pack.
