Sous quelque angle qu’on le prenne, le présent est sans issue. Ce n’est pas la moindre de ses vertus. À ceux qui voudraient absolument espérer, il dérobe tout appui. Ceux qui prétendent détenir des solutions sont démentis dans l’heure. C’est une chose entendue que tout ne peut aller que de mal en pis. « Le futur n’a plus d’avenir » est la sagesse d’une époque qui en est arrivée, sous ses airs d’extrême normalité, au niveau de conscience des premiers punks. La sphère de la représentation politique se clôt. De gauche à droite, c’est le même néant qui prend des poses de cador ou des airs de vierge, les mêmes têtes de gondole qui échangent leurs discours d’après les dernières trouvailles du service communication. Ceux qui votent encore donnent l’impression de n’avoir plus d’autre intention que de faire sauter les urnes à force de voter en pure protestation. On commence à deviner que c’est en fait contre le vote lui-même que l’on continue de voter. Rien de ce qui se présente n’est, de loin, à la hauteur de la situation. (Comité invisible)

"What we want is the mass movement" Or how techno takes on a punchy dimension by punching out punchlines from a political speech by Lordon to the "Everyone hates the police" in the BlackBloc.

From whatever angle, the present is hopeless. It is not the least of its virtues. To those who would absolutely hope, he steals all support. Those who claim to have solutions are denied within the hour. It is understood that everything can only go from bad to worse. "The future has no future" is the wisdom of an era that has come, in its air of extreme normality, to the level of consciousness of the first punks. The sphere of political representation is closed. From left to right, it’s the same nothingness that takes on the pose of a cador or the air of a virgin, the same gondola heads who exchange their speeches according to the latest findings from the communications department. Those still voting seem to have no other intention than to blow up the ballot box by dint of voting in pure protest. We begin to guess that it is actually against the vote itself that we continue to vote. Nothing that presents itself, by far, lives up to the situation. (Comité invisible)

Spraggy, also known as Spraggie, born Nevinson Cuffy on the 18th of November 1962, in Point-Michel, on the English-speaking Island of Dominica (Commonwealth of Dominica), was a carefree child but came to realize his life would be dedicated to music and that he would have a message to convey. By the age of 20 he was known locally as "The man with the golden voice", people were amazed by his powerful & charismatic singing. He became sought after by producers and musicians wanting to work with Spraggy.
Under the nickname Spraggy, which follows him since his teenage years and becomes his pseudonym, Nevinson released his first album "BLESSINGS FROM ABOVE" (Kufe Records) followed soon afterwards by "BAD BOYS" He was working with the best Reggae, Jazz & Blues musicians of Dominica which confirmed his status as a gifted Reggae singer. Word spread of his talent, which led him to move to Paris in 2000 until 2008 where he settled in Bordeaux France until present day. 

In 2005 Spraggy recorded the "RUB A DUB" single (Sowan Records, Naive) as part of a compilation project "REGGAE X-CLUSIVE” and performed at the ELYSEE MONTMARTRE (Paris), celebrating the release of his new single, for the Reggae X-Clusive concert. He also performed a duet with french top reggae singer Pierpoljak on the song,"HOT & SEXY".
In 2010, Spraggy released his first French Roots Reggae Album "SUNSHINE COUNTRY" (2009 Believe Digital, Auto Production). In 2011 he composed with FELDUB (Producer, DJ, & co-founder of the Bordeaux Label Banzai Lab). Their Opus was titled "FELDUB MEETS SPRAGGY-A SO IT GO" (Banzai Lab, Believe Digital). In 2012 & 2014 after Spraggy had recorded with Dubveda, for LaboxProd, it evolved an obvious artistic collaboration with Nagual X, where he featured on Albums "Illegal Dubplates" &" Green Warriors"(Laboxprod, Auto Production).

After having toured a few years in Europe and played on events like Solidays Festival, Live Planet Bob Marley Tribute, in Paris, Reggae Sun Ska Festival in south of France, as well as venues less bigger or charity concerts…Spraggy has been kept busy writing lyrics for his catalogue of new songs that he has now finished registering, and that are currently being mixed and mastered, ready to be released.
Spraggy has now settled permanently on the international scene, to the top of the current reggae singers with his magic vocal signature that leaves no one indifferent. He has reinforced his artistic versatility and his musical esthetic of sound mergers. From reggae roots to electro Dub, Rnb, Funk and also Soul or Nu roots, …Nothing stops him in the exploration of new rhythms that he mixes perfectly with his warm voice, his harmonic chant with soft melodies. 
With charisma and feelings, humor, gravity or pain, Spraggy's words inspire a positive direction. It addresses topics that are dear to him, such as family, rights of fathers, Africa, love, war, education, youth, ecology, or his roots …A true meeting and a skillful mix between Caribbean, African, and Western cultures.
