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.."

Jacob Miller - Peace Treaty Special (Top Ranking 1978)

Back to Roots Rock Reggae with Killer Miller's Peace Treaty (1978). This era was very wild and rivals political gangs decided to sign a peace treaty to stop murders between PNP and JLP garrisons. In this one Miller name the most famous gunmens of the seventies and performed it at the Peace Concert in 1978 while he made Claudie Massop (from Tivoli Gardern - JLP) and Tony Welsh (from Concrete Jungle - PNP), ones of the most influencial gunmens at that time, shake their hands on stage.
