All this, and being a regular clubber and dancer at the Africa Centre in London for Soul II Soul’s legendary Sunday night sessions led to the lifelong friendship and collaboration with  Jazzie B OBE and the creation of  Soul II Soul’s  long career.

He traveled to Jamaica to write with Shabba Ranks on Slow and Sexy , a US top 10 tune and worked again with legends Sly and Robbie on Maxi Priest’s albums Bona Fide and Man with The Fun, writing and producing. In the mid 90s, he visited South Africa, where he produced Africa’s own reggae superstar Lucky Dube’s Victims album.

Victims - Lucky Dube     (producer)

Reggae Strong

Strengthen your mind
We’re living in serious times
Is such a mysterious times
We’re living in serious times

Youth do not know
If your friend a your enemy or your friend
Right now things are ____
So who is serious at playing tricks?
Keep on firm meditation
Don’t stop in nothing foolish
Keep your heart clean and strong
Let your god self be established

And strengthen your mind...

Take this advice
A mother once gave to her son
Give not your strength to a deleterious woman
Know that the ways that can destroy a true king man
Because Dalilah was on the prowl and she’s a deadly one

So strengthen your mind...

And this is surely not the time to ____
Don’t let the wrong cause take for ride
Temptation pretty and a dazzle in your eyes
Your role in this world you a fe realize
?Cause it a youth the serpent gwaan brutalize
So strengthen enough yourself, your youth and you wife
Bring forth good fruit and the future of your life
Bring forth good fruit and the future of your life

Strengthen your mind
We’re living in serious times
Is such a mysterious times
We’re living in serious times

Youth do not know
If your friend a your enemy or a friend
Right now things are etic
So who is serious at playing tricks?
Keep on firm meditation
Don’t stop in nothing foolish
Keep your heart clean and strong
Let your god self be established

And...
(chorus)

Take this advice
A mother once gave to her son
Give not all your strength unto a deleterious woman
Know that the ways that can destroy a true king man
Because Dalilah was on the prowl and she’s a deadly one

So...
(chorus)

And this is surely not the time to ____
Don’t let the wrong cause take you for a ride
Temptation pretty and a dazzle in your eyes
Your role in this world you haffi realize
?Cause it a youth the serpent gwaan brutalize
So strengthen enough yourself, your youth and you wife
Bring forth good fruit and the future of we life
Bring forth good fruit and the future of we life

Ohh...
(chorus)
