SELASSIE I LOVE & MERCY IN THE CRUMBLING CITY


double post this morning. get it while you can.

thanks to the good works of the dudes over at irieites, i've recently discovered two amazing (and previously CD-only) Sizzla tunes. for today, here's the better of the two. this is a Digital B production from ~1999 and it's maybe the finest piece of '90s roots i've ever heard. perfect in every way.

Sizzla - Mockries and Phrase

before irieites recent vinyl release, this tune appeared on the Sizzla LP "Good Ways."


"living in this pollution and despair, youth so strong, judgement again..."

poser alert. these tunes were not originally CD-only. i was wrong.
can't cool was originally released on 7" vinyl on the SPAGGA ROOTS label. i now have the 7" and it's great. there's also two alternate mixes of it on the 'Black Cinderella' riddim CD on the same label.

was 'mockries and phrase' ever on vinyl (meaning 7" or 12", not on the 'good ways' LP) before? if anyone knows, holler.
