Wha a gwaan all reggae massive! on this set I return to my "Tribute" series & focus on the works of the haunting chant style sound from none other than King Cry Cry aka The Voice of Thunder....the great PRINCE FAR I

Prince Far I born Michael Williams is a roots reggae dub chanter/deejay & producer who started his career in 1969 with producer Bunny Lee. Far I's gruff vocal style is a sinister, eerie, rough & gritty chant that flows beautifully over the heavy roots reggae riddims of the 70's & 80's. His lyrics are mostly known for his critical assessment of the Jamaican government and his Rastafarian faith. He was first given the name King Cry Cry as an artist because of his habit of breaking into tears when angered. In 1970 he was able to get the chance to record a few tracks for producer Coxsone Dodd when King Stitt failed to show up for a session and released the tunes now under the name of Prince Fair I as a suggestion by another producer whom he worked with named Enos McLeod. Over his career spanning from 1969-1983, Prince Far I had released over 18+ albums for various producers such as Bunny Lee, Coxsone Dodd, Enos McLeod, Joe Gibbs, Adrian Sherwood & Roy Cousins. Far I was a regular visitor to the UK in the late 70's and became a firm favorite within the synergy of punk and reggae.

On September 15, 1983, Prince Far I was shot and killed in his home at the age of 38 during a robbery in a dispute over money and later died in the hospital.

For those of you who are already fans and familiar with Prince Far I, or if you're brand new to discovering The Voice Of Thunder this is a great collection of some of my favorite tracks that rock from beginning to end. so sit back, relax and fire one up and enjoy the sounds of Prince Far I! -DJ Kali

1-01 DJ Kali's Tribute to Prince Far I (100% Vinyl)

<<< Pt. 2 >>> Big up reggae massive! I return to the "Tribute" series again this time honoring the works of the great Cocoa Tea who we lost recently. 
Cocoa Tea was one of the most popular singers in Jamaica from the 1980's until present achieving worldwide success in the world of reggae music until his untimely death on March 11, 2025 at the age of 65.

Colvin George Scott better know as Cocoa Tea was born in Clarendon, Jamaica in 1959 & entered the music scene in 1974 recording his first tune "Searching In The Hills" under his name Calvin Scott at the age of 14 for producer Willie Francis but when he revisited singing again in 1984 he scored his first big hits "Rocking Dolly" & "I Lost My Sonia" under the name Cocoa Tea both for producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes and the Volcano label. From there his career really took off scoring countless hits like "Informer", "Young Lover", "Tune In", "Love Me", "Riker's Island", "Good Life", "She Loves Me Now" while recording albums for producers Steve Byfield, Donovan Germain, King Jammy, Stanley Lindsay, Gussie Clarke, Mr. Doo, Mikey Bennett, Phillip "Fatis" Burrell, & Bobby Digital just to name a few. 

In 2003, Cocoa Tea started the annual New Year's Eve live music stage show in Jamaica called Dancehall Jam Jam which ran until 2009.

So, whether your a big fan or just getting to know Cocoa Tea's music I think you will really enjoy this set of 3 hours of my favorite Cocoa Tea classics. So sit back, light up a spliff and enjoy the sweet sweet sounds of this great artist! -DJ Kali

like i wanna know the groove down your back 
caressing spinal 
when i was flexing vinyl 
the gift from you to me 
i'm not to good at giving anything 
that's usually If i'm not passionate about it
why is it using me
life is doing what you don't wanna to live fruitfully 
working hard to stick around to say get used to me
if i got used to me
then there's a use for me
if you never let me work you could be rude to me
i still get it on my own for the truth to speak 
and if it isn't here today please let me seek
if i muscle my ego just let me speak 
yes it's your brothers the freak the geek, yeah
yes it's your mother who called all week
i would leave this all behind just to feel relief 
to take the first plane back to keep on stackin dreams 
before they stackin me, you stay relaxed my b
how i'm tryna slide to you
but i got nothing in the coupe 
really enough to just recoup
not in need of no recruit 
but if you wanna get some use
toppling anger under popular stranger 
could get to know me too
could get to know me too

yeah, yeah 
i'm at the payphone 
like a cheap ring made me think of your cute ass

BOOKINGS - BIGJACKS [AT] GMAIL [DOT] COM

“Do what you love and the rest will fall into place” is a way of thinking that DJ Big Jacks has built his career and life on. In his case the labour of love has always been music. His passion for it, fueled by the inspiration of his father and family upbringing helped elevate Big Jacks’ interest in the arts from a hobby he loved to his livelihood.

Before even touching the turntables young Jacks spent time going to record stores with his dad to pick up the latest calypso releases. Now in a digital age where most people don’t look passed their favourite mp3 website for music you’ll still find Big Jacks going that extra mile to uncover the latest tune or forgotten gem in your local record store, thrift shop, or even a dusty warehouse basement all over the world. To Big Jacks there are no boundaries when it comes to finding and exposing new music to share.

It’s the mentality to dig deeper than just what the surface offers that Big Jacks carries with him as an outlook on life. While his humble beginnings were as a hip hop DJ using his lunch money to buy the newest albums, today no genre is overlooked when he creates his musical landscape. Every day brings a new opportunity to learn and expand on his craft. It’s because of this that he has been able to rise and become one a premier DJ locally and abroad, able to create that perfect vibe whatever the occasion. Whether it is getting the dance floor going or simply providing an atmospheric backdrop and soundtrack, he is able to tailor the sound to compliment any mood.

Big Jacks has made quite the name for himself in recent years as the official DJ for the popular women’s clothing store Aritzia. Currently, he works with the company to create a culture and an identity with its target audience. He curates and programs playlists for all their North American store locations, and his mixes and music have surpassed the million plays mark on Soundcloud alone. Big Jacks has found an effective and refreshing way to connect and influence their massive international customer base every day. His work has also been played heavily in other notable stores around the world like H&M, Forever 21, Top Shop, and many other cool boutiques and restaurants. All of which has led to him playing all over North America for those who love the work he creates.

He's made multiple appearances where he has played and been interviewed on one of the biggest radio shows in the world, Sway In The Morning, on XM Radio’s Shade 45 channel. How Sway? Because working smart pays off. The highly regarded program is one of the most popular outlets for the world’s top musicians, actors, athletes, etc to be spotlighted as it broadcasts globally to millions of listeners worldwide each day.

Most recently, Big Jacks has forged a new lane for himself as the co-founder  and operator of GGBR Records & Tapes along with his partner Bozack. The record label is a platform for them to release not only their own music in a tangible form (with a focus on vinyl and cassette tapes), but projects from other artists they truly believe in and stand behind, with a number of their releases already sold out to customers from North America, Europe and Asia.

Everything Big Jacks achieves and every hurdle that he overcomes is because he has stuck by doing what he loves to do while working smart and hard. He consistently demonstrates finely tuned technical skills in his work, with an attention to detail, but it’s his passion for music and life that shines through to connect him to his audience and create a fan base that truly trusts, respects and supports what he does.

GGBRFUCKEM!

be the love you wanna see in the world
