Forever the same 
is only Jah love will remain
Forever the same
never the fortune nor the fame
forever the same
oh we will call up on his name
forever the same
Say babylon can't out the flame

i hear the questions bickering 
tensions thickening 
friends have agendas attention they listening
Mr. Mention no intention of giving in 
flame ya no flickering blaze till you sick of him
back with an army raising a nation 
never for the praise or for plays from you station 
see them displays its so fake run away man
health over wealth i just pray say me stay strong
hand coulda tired but the banner haffi fly 
naa try switch the grammar fi your honour or no guy
righ over might if it go so me will fight for me brother 
like Spanner Banner Pliers Richie Spice
Mama Elise yeah you told me to shine
don't let these foes get control of my mind
And whenever they come for I won't deny Jah this a me reply

(Kabaka Pyramid)
I and I a call up on the king 
like goosebumps crawl up pon me skin
when them verse ya fall up pon diddim
i remember when me ras up and me father want me trim
eventually i did but now me natty tall again
Just the most high set the path 
and a you gotta make the walk
and stand taller than a shepards staff
trough  any trial and tribulation in any situation rasta see me stay strong
true me say pyramid them ask if is a Mason
them a say the rasta thing nuh need no innovation 
but a we a seek the knowledge and information 
fi free the people them wah in a frustration
So i a tell you many are called but the chosen few 
know fi obey the unspoken rules
so I&I a gwaan chant a coupe potent tunes 
leff babywrong up in a smoke and fumes

I rather be spiritually attained than critically acclaimed
put that pon you brain systematically drained
whatever that them saying whoever that them claim 
coulda never know my pain and never bear my strain 
them a study wah me sing me a sit and do me thing
application a within supplication a to HIM
then it becomes less about the tune them wah a spin 
but the knowing that the work was the best it coulda been
having the team deh pon the road a tour with me
no mean a thing if the message no have the purity 
and so me stay substance over hype
with no substandard respond if you like
understand that it might get abundance of fight 
see stunts for the lights so me bun that pon sight
like the bush den pon fire wah a blaze and no burn them say me crazy me no concern

The 1976 version of “Underground Roots” on Super Ape was a mostly instrumental ganja tune but in this new rework features Ari Up, pioneering singer of the first all-female UK punk band The Slits, joining Scratch on vocals calling out the underground youth to wake up and seek out the real truth beyond what they are taught in school, playing on the metaphor of underground roots and culture. Sadly it this was Ari’s last recording session, shortly before she passed away, recorded not long after her live performance with Scratch, Subatomic, & Dubblestandart in NYC.  Ari and Joe Strummer of the Clash dated during the early days of punk in London. Ari introduced Strummer to reggae and even taught him some guitar chords. The Clash brought the Slits on tour with them and scored a big hit covering Lee Perry’s “Police & Thieves” track. Strummer later asking Perry to remix their dub album “Black Market Clash”.

Tempo: 65/130bpm Key: G major ] Lyrically timely and always a favorite at concerts, this version of the reggae classic “War Ina Babylon” has  Subatomic Sound System mixing an old school one drop beat into a thumping 909 kick & snare, a reggae bass line mixed into modulating electronic sub-bass, and impeccably reincarnated horns, guitars, and percussion build on Scratch’s original influences, introducing stylistic elements of Jimi Hendrix and a new, key-modulating bridge section that veers into Malian blues and features the African kora.  Scratch originally wrote the song for singer Max Romeo and included a dub remix “Black Vest” on his original Super Ape album with featured sparse chatting vocals and new horn lines.  All those elements are tied together here with Scratch adding new lyrical themes to address current issues with corrupt government, police shootings, and religious leaders while Screechy Dan sings all the vintage Heptones harmonies.

Song out 9/11 on iTunes with full album pre-order.  The title track of the new Super Ape Returns To Conquer album is reimagined as a pulsing bass fueled four on the floor journey, trodding through creation with the Super Ape, while Scratch proclaims the healing power of music, of vibration, of meditation, and of dub, perfect dub equals perfect love -- synchronicity with nature: “This is the ape man/ trodding through creation/ are you ready to step with I-man?”  Super Ape is Scratch’s metaphor for the power of nature, the power of the sky manifested by the hurricanes with their thunder, lightning, wind and rain that frequently decimated Jamaica.  In a time of environmental crisis, the song serves as a reminder of the fragility of humanity in the face of nature and how little we understand about the mystery and magic of nature exemplified by the jungle, the sea, and the elements.  Though a self-identifying Rastafarian, Scratch is also very much a naturalist and a vegetarian. Sampled by Murs & 9th Wonder on “Are You Ready”.

Out now on Super Ape Returns To Conquer - Curly Dub (Sing Along Jah Jah Children) [Length: 6:06  Tempo: 62/124bpm Key: A minor ] “Curly Dub” features a bold steppers beat and unlikely swaggering jazz bass line that get turnt up and taken on a psychedelic trip back to Africa. Though reggae is often identified by its signature bass lines, Scratch upends convention on this composition with a massive walking jazz bass line originally over a four on the floor steppers beat (somewhat groundbreaking in the 1970s) that is redone by Subatomic Sound in heavyweight fashion with tight 808 house kicks, big belly sine wave bass, and an added energy boost from improvised Ethiopian sax solos – extending the original American jazz influence all the way back to Africa.  Screechy Dan reincarnates Scratch’s original vocals, a melody that harkens back very clearly to the vocal phrasing style that Scratch famously nurtured in Bob Marley.  Legendary Jamaican percussionist and Black Ark studio veteran, Larry McDonald, lays down all the shaking, scraping, and rattling sounds as well as his signature conga patterns that dance around the bubbling organ skank.  Scratch blends his spirituality with signature humor, proclaiming “I am free” and that he is "black Moses", here to free the people, imploring the to feel it, smell it, and taste it. Scratch was a huge influence on the Beastie Boys, one of the few respected artists also known for their humor. Beastie Boys who featured Scratch on their track Dr. Lee Phd.

Download Promo Mixtape

Reggae Dancehall 80s,90s Best of King Jammys(Dancehall Godfather) Mixtape Vol 1 Mix By Djeasy

GLOBAL OLD SCHOOL MIX

Out now on Super Ape Returns To Conquer [Length: 3:20 Tempo: 77.5/155bpm Key: A minor ] “Lucifer son of the morning, I’m gonna chase you out earth!” One of the most memorable beginnings to any song, one of the most sampled, and one the most classic in tunes in reggae, Scratch wrote “Chase the Devil” with singer Max Romeo, but in his typical fashion did several remixes and dubs of it, one of which was the hit “Disco Devil” sung by Scratch, and another called “Croaking Lizard” with chatting vocals, chatting being what Jamaicans called the rhythmic speaking which would later in the USA become rap music.  All those concepts are tied together in this version with Brooklyn’s Jahdan Blakkamoore nailing the opening vocal, Scratch adding new verses to taunt Satan, and NYC dancehall don Screechy Dan chatting inna classic Jamaican party rocking style while Emch recreated the music with impeccable reverence to the genius original Black Ark production but with heavy 808 kicks, sub-bass lines, and dubwise congas from Larry McDonald (who performed on the original 1976 Black Ark recording) guaranteed to move a 21st century dancefloor.  Note the elaboration on the guitar melody in the verses, revealing new lines that sound like missing parts from 1976 finally revealed and brought up in the mix 41 years later.   “Chase the Devil” has been sampled and referenced in countless popular tunes across genres, recently by Kanye West & Jay Z on “Lucifer” all the way back to the 90s rave anthem by The Prodigy called “Outer Space”.

Out now on 'Super Ape Returns To Conquer' album! Zion’s Blood [Length: 4:24 Tempo: 67/134bpm Key: A minor ] The roots of the mystic spiritual vibes Scratch conjured up from Africa and was known to have instilled in the likes of Bob Marley are here combined with Subatomic Sound’s pulsing 21st century sub bass and 909 kick drums guaranteed to rattle massive bass bins like the latest trap or dubstep track while maintaining  a deep meditation.  “Zion’s Blood is flowing through my vein, and I&I shall never work in vein/ African blood is flowing through my vein/ and I&I will never fade away” is repeated like a mantra throughout the song, upending typical song structure and in many ways capturing the essence of Scratch’s creativity and ideology, reclaiming his lost African history through musical production, inventing the genres of reggae and dub to establish his reputation, but refusing even at 81 years old to stop innovating.  Rebuilding this song with no samples from the original, it was critical to capture the magic of the original like the introductory heavy tom toms and whistle that announce the arrival of the Super Ape and the majestic African horns signal the royal Emperor H.I.M. Selassie who Scratch claims to be his spiritual twin (notice the resemblance of their faces).  The Wes Montgomery style guitar lines in the original are further developed here by Emch and the regal horns lines, though produced in gritty and vintage Black Ark fashion, are pushed to the forefront to pump up the energy and highlight the African roots of the composition.
