VC - By His Deeds (7'' Digital Noize Production) 2000

VC prove that even if you're a baldhead you can make good conscious tunes, or act right in your everyday life. I really like this single, the riddim isn't that good but it's all about what he says and how he says it.

"Sitting in your church on Sunday
Thinking who you gonna screw Monday
Who you gonna thief, who you gonna rob
Take it that me tell you
Say, you can't fool God, no.."

Murderer / Hot Milk Riddim (Jah Life)

The riddim is based on Hot Milk's bassline, a famous instrumental cut by legendary Studio One keybordist Jackie Mitoo (1948-1990), a former Skatalites, Soul Brothers and Soul Vendors member just to name a few bands he was part of. Lots of riddims he created became all time classics in Reggae Music : Shank I Sheck, Drum Song, Ba Ba Boum, Death In The Arena, Bobby Babylon, etc...

This is a rip from the 2003 (or 2004 ?) 7" vinyl reissue on the US label Jah Life (or Jah Life.com as on the labels) which is, with Wackie's, one of the best american Reggae labels ever.
I added the Jackie Mitoo track and another one from Rakim & Barrington Levy (not the best remix of Murderer I've heard...).




- Barrington Levy & Beenie Man - Murderation

- Barrington Ley - Murderer


- Lone Ranger - If Life Was A Thing


- Louie Ranking - God A Watch Dem


- Sanchez - The World's Greatest


- Jackie Mitoo - Hot Milk (from Studio One Rocker Complilation) *

- Rakim feat Barrington Levy - Murderer (Jeep Version) (From BL's Barrington LP)


* I don't know why they named this compilation Rockers at Soul Jazz, I don't find that's sound Reggae Rocker at all...

Murderer/Hot Milk @ 320 k(Rapidshare) !
