Roots Garden records present the final instalment of the labels hugely popular 2007 rhythm series 'The Levi rhythm' from producer Manasseh, featuring this previously unreleased dubplate vocal and heavyweight dubwise mix.

London based reggae dancehall artist 'Dark Angel (AKA Mowty Mahlyka) was so inspired by the then freshly released 'Levi Rhythm' he recorded the lyrics as an exclusive sound system dubplate. The track proving so popular at Roots Garden sound system sessions producer Manasseh created a brand new and totally reimagined remix around the Dark Angel's vocal, this was released in 2008 as 'Free Da Minds' (featured on Roots Garden Showcase part 1).

Due to popular demand Roots Garden finally unleash the original dubplate version of the song recorded over the 'Levi Rhythm' complete with a brand new heavyweight dubwise mix from Manasseh.

Levi Rhythm info: Contemporary roots reggae one-drop style from producer Nick Manasseh. The rhythm track with its downtempo, contemporay,melodic and minimal vibes leaves plenty of room for the vocalists to get to work. Released on 7inch vinyl in June 2007 and quickly selling out of its initial press. This release gained great feedback from distributors, Press, DJ's and sound systems worldwide.

So Much to Come is the 2nd of two mixes with Morgan Heritage. It also contains a more militant side of Morgan Heritage. Some great political lyrics in the combination with Bounty Killer- Guns in the Ghetto and the Brooklyn remix with celebrities from their place of birth. Personal favourites here are Dem Man Deh and the forgotten song with Buju Banton titled Reap What You Sew on the riddim from Black Uhuru`s Bull In The Pen.  But unfortunately their worst lyrics ever in Selah where they point to the clear fact that there is too much focus on the USA but end up with "...beautiful places like Dubai". Reality check please!
