#Between a rock and a dubplate album full
Last summer, Yellowman dropped an epic posse cut called ‘Champion’ that featured an all-star line-up including Shabba Ranks, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Sizzla, Lady G, Burro Banton, Josie Wales, General Trees, Little Twitch and so many more that they really needed a full album to do them all justice. “Me break your plate if you out fe me share.” So while you hate the Gully Gad will be strapping into his first class seat. “Push up the sign: we don’t care.” The beat is light and bouncy but the message is hard as nails: “Man a survivor,” he declares. “A lot of people hate me out there,” Mavado sings on ‘Nah Use Dem’, his latest release from Chimney Records where he has a message for all the haters. If that’s not enough, passengers will also be entertained by top sound systems like King Jammy’s Super Power, Stone Love Movement, Renaissance Disco, Mighty Crown, David Rodigan and Shinehead, who describes the whole cruise as “Rub-a-dub Disneyland”.
