FIRST HALF DUB DNB THEN INTO DEEPER ROLLING DNB SOUND

REVOLUTION DUB D&B

Released on 11/17/2023, this dub/DnB tune pays a slight nod to one of Abiyah’s other endeavors: an all-vinyl dancehall reggae DJ.

Lyrics:

INTRO:
check 1 check 1
checo 1 check 2 (low at end)
check 1 check 1
check 1 check 2 - oo -oo
check 1 check 1
check 1 check 2 (mid-high at end)
check 1 check 1
now wa you wa gwaan do - oo - oo


VERSE 1:
don’t blame me when i try
mi haffi chat up another guy
til you find out what you mean to say
will you mean it like a why-why?
your bye-bye is like a scene (end high)
and you have always been so in-between
don’t even try to tell me
what game it is that you play

HOOK:
kick it up
check the clock
don’t let it get away (boa!)
quick talk
round the block
i forgot your name
in the silence
sparks the flame
send you on your way
take a look inside
then we let di riddim ride


BRIDGE:
when you listen to this sound
you may feel like crying
turn that sound upside down
and you will feel like flying

and you will feel like flying
flying
may even feel like crying
crying
you will feel like flying
fly
no more crying
don’t cry

HOOK:

kick it up
check the clock
don’t let it get away (boa!)
quick talk
round the block
i forgot your name
in the silence
sparks the flame
send you on your way
take a look inside
then we let di riddim ride (ri-i-ide)

BRIDGE:
let di riddim ride
no time fi rewind
press pon di deck
seh mi know i got the time

let di riddim ride
press pon di deck
wheel it and rewind

HOOK/OUTRO

kick it up
check the clock
don’t let it get away (boa!)
quick talk
round the block
i forgot your name
in the silence
sparks the flame
send you on your way
take a look inside
then we let di riddim ride (ri-i-ide)
then we let di riddim ride
then we let di riddim.

"Abiyah is the queen of all the mechanical parts of your heart. Her songs let you breathe underwater. She's the only thing your brain and your hips can agree on."
--Open Mike Eagle (LA-Mello Music Group/Hellfyre Club)

"Abiyah is the genuine article. A woman who is unique, talented and writes her own sh*t."
--louis logic (NYC-Fake Four Inc.)

"Asking Abiyah to give up her musical flights of fancy and pick one genre would be like asking a tigress to change her stripes. Forget it. Which Abiyah will be playing the festival? The chanteuse-over-DJ, the Punk priestess, the erudite MC or the avant-garde performance artist? Whichever, her music will be clever, danceable, sensual and confrontational." 
--Cincinnati CityBeat's MidPoint Band Guide - September 2005

Take a Soul Train dancer from 1974—one of them sistas who didn’t give a f*ck about cameras or Don Cornelius—well, if that sista made love to George Clinton and they had a baby girl and they let Patti Smith and Sister Carol raise that girl child in an embrace pre-dating same-sex marriage debates, that girl child woulda grown up to be Abiyah. By the early aughts, Cincinnati-based Abiyah hit upon a highly workable concoction: she fused her punk ethos with her love of Hip Hop, Dancehall, Dub, Alternative Rock and Spoken Word and racked up recorded collaborations and stage-to-the-page performances that resonate to this day—a poet published in the anthology Bum Rush the Page: A Def Poetry Jam (Three Rivers Press, 2001), Abiyah killed it on her impressive 2002 EP debut single “Free Wild Muse” produced by N8tiveSun, got all Grace Slick on 2004’s Coltrane Motion remix of her psychedelic cicada love song “Rise” and tweaked Bobby McFerrin’s notion of melodic vox on “Ring Around the Rosie,” an a capella/beatbox meditation recorded with Fairmount Girls’ Dana Hamblen and beatboxer Marty Spitfly.

A four-time CityBeat Cincinnati Entertainment Awards Hip Hop nominee and six-time MidPoint Music Festival veteran, Abiyah has performed at NYC’s Sidewalk Cafe with beatboxers Kid Lucky and Adam Matta, opened for avant-hip hop vanguards Mike Ladd and Beans, Brooklyn alt-rapper louis logic (Fake Four Inc.), Serengeti, Busdriver, Homeboy Sandman, Ceschi, and clipping., and, in 2011, appeared on LA art-rapper Open Mike Eagle’s second full-length offering “Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes.” She has also performed at the Vans Warped Tour on the Code of the Cutz hip hop stage, and is a well-known all-vinyl reggae DJ with Cincinnati- based Queen City Imperial Soundsystem. 

In March 2014, Abiyah embarked on her first tour, The First Ladies Tour, a two-week jaunt with then NYC-/now Oakland-based nu-R&B/hip hop singer Corina Corina. In October 2014, she performed at the first annual Louisville Outskirts Festival, a female-focused music festival, and also had the opportunity to perform for girl ages 10-18 as part of the Rockshops for Girls program associated with the festival. Abiyah is currently a member of the organizing and booking committees for Ladyfest Cincinnati 2015, and, in June 2015, she presented a strategy session, "Odd Woman Out: Being a Female Hip Hop Artist and Promoter," at the 2015 Allied Media Conference in Detroit. 

Abiyah is planning the release of the video for her noise rap song "Blup" (with Eugenius) in late July/early August 2015, as well as several other music projects this year, including a "duets" cassette EP, "Double Up," which will include Fake Four Inc. label head Ceschi Ramos, recording four already-written collaborative songs with Cincinnati art doom punk band Babe Rage, and a few solo EPs and single releases.
