From the streets of Jamaica coming live and direct
Proto Diggy deh ya we nuh need no mic check
step inna the place no badda disrespect
Just a warn the Ghetto yutes about the choice wah dem a make BOOM

Ladi Dadi naa join nuh party
look wha the politician them do to Claudie
look wha the politician them do to Jim
him son resurrect it and look wah them do to him
cause them will use and dispose of you those who are close to you
if you choose to trod this road u nuh
so bredda bredda if you war tonight
carry the scars of a Garveyite
carry the fire of a Melchezideck
when you mind get a chance represent 
or you might a no pass the present so 
no take them class love you fast then resent you 
want make it fast so them lost every cent too
so we go back to the ancient ways untold secrets that remained unchanged
mentally get unchained a one goal a one aim a the same wah you saying

(Sevana)
Got to stay through to the things you know are right 
Nothing worth the gain you attain by Sudden Flight
Brother keep you goals in sight
even in the darkest night 
have faith in the father the one who shines your light

(Jesse Royal)
Mercy me dem corrupt and covetous eeh
cause from me eye deh a me knee a one thing natty a see
the intellect a prey upon the poor poverty 
nobody naa dance though a two party 
oppression brainwashing and nefarious schemes
to keep the have-nots where they think they ought to be
I man hear promises of better when the poll time close
then a back to the same after winner announce
rockstone a river bottom never know say sun hot
so many a me brother them trap inna  the plot 
glock full a shot but no food  inna pot 
a wa wa wah kinda livity that
I an I a holla straight up wake up wake up Sons of Jacob
lay down their arms real tools you fi take up
stay up way up sons of Jacob time to show the cowards what we made of

so you've made it tell me what’s the basis thinking its so basic
cruising in the A6
Naa thats an illusion in the matrix
when you miss the payments then they gon’ come and claim it
You have to be focused keep the brain fit keep the flame lit never twist it when you aim hit
so what i'm saying simple and it plain  it all look the same when it flushing down the drain
watch dem as dem strutting up the lane with the rope gold chain 
chrome suppin in a hand 
Look up pon dem face touch a button if you can 
just fi try take you place a no nothing fi dem man
but that no matter cause another come along
and a run the place badder hotter than the summer sun
boof i see the cycle a repeat playing god up in your palace
with disciples pon the street

I know you think about me every night
especially when he ain't treating you right
I guess it didn't go according to plan
try to replace me with a simpler man
The streets of kingston yeah they do get so cold
to think you thought that they were covered with gold
Now everybody's got your story to tell
i hope you handle it well

(Sevana)
Love gone cold
gave you all i had yes i played my role
cannot give you more than that 
I love you but I'm not coming back
You've done me wrong 
Yet you keep repeating the same old song
But baby that won't change the fact
I love you but I'm not coming back

Girl naa show man no decency 
did all believe up to recently 
change her mind oh so frequently 
and me can't operate pon that frequency
times she'd a deh pon the P's and Q's
start act different she seem confused
all a the things weh she keep consume
carnival a come and she need costume
me waa left from the gliding lights 
she just care bout the friday nights
from sunset back to broad day light
and she coulda be the Queen if the card play right
but she woulda rather be the ace
all a the fun wah she take out of the chase
want make a run but me nuh in a the race then 
but such is the case when

Now you calling in the dead of the night
like i made up the things you did in my mind
you have no respect and you don't even try
out there playing games, always telling lies
Look what you  look what you just look what you did
don't you care about my feelings
there was a time when what we had was true
now those days are gone there is nothing left to do

Now you're alone with all those secrets you keep
Keeping you up and you can't go back to sleep
sleeping around to find a happier place
placing your heart inside a lonelier space
i guess you thought things would get better with time
not knowing what we had was one of a kind
now you're afraid to look at who you've become
an empty soul on the run

(Mortimer)
A word unto the wise is enough
You can look but don't touch
My relations and such
Cause out here in this jungle we roam
Every King has his throne
And if you enter my zone
I vow Protect my Own, Protect my own
I will protect my own, protect my own

Bread basket from birth to the casket
Ive heard they been talking some words I look past it
I was brought up and taught of the tactics 
And learned that the Lion nuh turn when dog barking
Watch who you burn who you spark with
And you haffi go earn if u want it
So we nuh concern with who hawking
When them spit can't reach where we walking
Enemies in disguise wanna  see my demise 
Them nuh even realise jah nuh wrong dem
Cause i see that in life you achieve supmn’, nice
but achieve sumpn’ twice is a problem
Then, you can imagine what i face
Two up in the hand and another on the way
Plus i have another in the brain 
And every other one a put the other one to shame

Sharp like the thorn crown pon christ head
But you know the flow hardough like slice bread
Lyrics melt the butter fi make a nice spread
But a nuh margarine i pull the margin in
Then stretch the margin out and if you marching out
And you inna doubt then march without me 
I rather march alone than fi march back home
Tell me Queen say me lost the throne, No
This was built on the power of the truth 
Discovering the cowards and empowering the youth
If you give dem a minute dem devouring the fruit
And within an hour call it sour and chop the root
You nuh see it? No skill like Bibbi pon me feet
But drop me pon the riddim watch the clarity weh speak
Ain’t no parity between what we have and what we need
So strength out to the wise and protection for the weak.

Protection ft. Mortimer

Don’t wait until I’m gone away

After I’m gone (when I’m gone)
Will be too late to show you care
You’ve got to love me while I’m here
And still with you (with you)
‘Cause after I’m gone (when I’m gone)
All of the tears will be in vain (in vain)
Only the memories will remain

What remain for me? / Do you feel the same?
…

Can’t rest in peace if you live in war
Don’t make the conflict reach too far
Here one day and you gone tomorrow
Next week funeral wreaths and flowers
Forget the hours of the time spent up-
keeping the malice and it don’t make sense now
So you intend fi treat me when it dread
Nuh come the dead yard fi nyam no fish and bread

And me say peace, that’s the way I’m trodding
Step pon you shoes then I beggin’ you pardon
You nuh waa hear that so you hold hard end
Man a road living like prisoner and warden
So a who at fault then and who get hurt
When you use you brother fi fabricate you worth
Well everybody was naked at birth
Whether buried or burnt, we return to the Earth

The line between your friend and your enemy
Easy fi blur when you overpree
It all depends on the energy
You choose to invest in the chemistry
Which you require to make it
If your desire is to take it to a height
Cause I life is sacred, I purpose is to intensify the light
That will shine

Protoje - After I'm Gone ft. Jah9

Last August we released the trailer of what “DubFiles at Song Embassy” will be. It’s a documentary and an album altogether. In February 2015 Paolo Baldini, together with reggae acts Mellow Mood, Forelock, graphic novelist Davide Toffolo and anthropologist Icir Mimina Di Muro, brought his mobile studio to the Song Embassy Yard in Kingston, Jamaica, to record around thirty little-known artists from the ghetto.

The recordings lasted around a week. In the most classic soundsystem fashion, the singers would grab the mic improvising or giving new renditions of their hits on the riddims produced by Baldini. Everything was live and good first take. Every performance was filmed and the artists were later interviewed to bare witness to the incredible amount of talents Jamaica generates, the majority of whom get unfortunately little or no exposure from the media.

The first single from the album is “Boom (Wah Da Da Deng)” by Hempress Sativa Muzik. The videoclip premiered for a lucky crowd during Paolo Baldini’s session at the Reggae University at the Rototom Sunsplash - Official page, Europe’s largest reggae festival, which takes place in Spain at the end of August.

Hempress Sativa, who already featured in Mellow Mood’s latest record, is one of the rising stars of Jamaican roots music, daughter of the great Albert Malawi (selecter of Jah Love soundsystem) and part of the Jah Ova Evil Records / J.O.E collective. In “Boom (Wah Da Da Deng)” she proves to master dj-style and literally breathtaking lyrics.

The single, available on iTunes and all digital platforms and soon available on 7” vinyl, is the first in a series to be released before the “DubFiles at Song Embassy” album is published next spring. The record will be published by La Tempesta Dub, the newborn label managed by Baldini himself and reggae band Mellow Mood. To celebrate the birth of the label, the band announced a handful of Italian headline shows at the end of November. Paolo Baldini DubFIles will perform as aftershow alongside some very special guest who will be announced soon.

New York, NY- The new studio album from international reggae star Alborosie, titled Unbreakable - Alborosie Meets The Wailers United is slated for release June 29th with digital pre-orders going live Friday, May 18th.

Enlisting The Wailers United (former members of Bob Marley and The Wailers with the addition of Aston Barrett Jr.) for instrumental backing, the album upholds the tradition of roots- rock-reggae. While honoring traditional reggae sounds, the inclusion of Alborosie's re-visioning of the Metallica classic "The Unforgiven" featuring Raging Fyah adds a new edge to the album that addresses contemporary issues with a thoroughly modern feel. 

Alborosie is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer and a dynamic talent in the contemporary reggae scene. “Unbreakable” is his ninth album for the Greensleeves label, following his last release “Freedom in Dub” in 2017. “Unbreakable” gets its roots from reggae’s great history and points toward a future vision of the music with the sonic prowess that has become synonymous with Alborosie productions. 
 
The first single, “Contradiction” featuring Chronixx serves as the perfect introduction to the project. Self-produced and written by Alborosie who comments, "the song delivers a message to the people and the youths about everyday life and the social and political climate we are currently living in." Other artists featured on the album are hit makers Beres Hammond, Jah Cure, and J Boog.
 
“Alborosie continues to expand his creative vision,” said Christopher Chin, CEO of VP Records. “This album looks to be his best yet and we are very excited about the release.”

On the cusp of an extensive European tour, music a video for "Contradiction featuring Chronixx" is in production with more videos and performances to be confirmed.

Lyrics for:
'This is NOT a Marijuana Song' by Protoje, Produced by Niko Browne for LifeLine Music. 2012

And so it was said that the herb be provided for I&I 

They don't want you to know Marijuana
Ites up and be Free
Jah so Let it be

Herb smoke keep i sane, take my pain 
Stop migraine, so much i gain, so why blame?
I'm saying Jah might bring the right strain 
To my brain fi chop lightning like I-Wayne
Cause man deh ya pon the Lava Ground
And if u soft like a guava u can't come round
This part of Town, I tell unuh the thought alone
A could a Sparta it falter down
REVIVAL Hallelujah it start up now
Reprisal fi the luu Jah it watered down, Naa Pardon none

What deh in a  mi garden strong
This is NOT a Marijuana Song

This is not Marijuana music
Just a Message from the ones that use it
Don't abuse it cause a mind that's fertile
Brings forth something that's worthwhile 
Know your worth child
Cause no officer alive coulda look in a ma eyes 
And see what i prophesy 
My mind it forever occupies, thoughts of.........
Hold ma talk cause spies amongst us
If trouble did a trouble me, well that mi chalice woulda bubbly
drop in a one load then double it

What deh in a me garden strong
This is NOT a Marijuana Song

Listen up, the truth is to be told
Open your eyes there is beauty to behold
What is the new if u consider the old
Why gain the world and no consider your soul 
What is the cloud if u understand the lining
Who is the king if u consider the LIneage
You know its H.I.M so no continue deny him
Is it freestyle if i consider the Line 
Then configure the timing adjust to fit the rhyme scheme
With no trouble to my mind really?
Seal It

I say wah deh in a me garden strong
This is not a Marijuana Song
