vibe & “Let Go” w this reggae.DUB gem!

This reggae / dancehall / DUB track reminds you to face your fears and let them go. With this mega collaboration from the Bones Culture collective, you get many different takes on what it can mean to ‘let go!’ From the lyrical flexing of two spoken word titans- Circumstantial Saint & Sir Dominique Jordan; to the haunting vox of Kalamitye & the vibes of Android Ed. This bass heavy DUB is some of the best production work from triphop producer BenOaks.

From the upcoming debut album by spoken word / affirmations artist Circumstantial Saint

“Never Come Down”

“Let’s get high, and never come down” words sung so emotionally by multi-talented artist 66notes. At the end of this song 66notes asks, “You ever want to fly away? Far far away, and escape this reality?” The reality that he speaks of is the constant turmoil pertaining to racism/discrimination/prejudice that has continuously destroyed not only this nation, but the whole world. It is because of this reason, he along with so many others like him would like to get higher than the clouds, and never come down. 66notes is a humanitarian and advocate for social equality, ‘Never Come Down’ is one of many of 66notes’ songs that points out the negative attributes associated with the various forms of hate in our world. He hopes by producing more and more songs with these types of messages, that it will spark much needed awareness to deal with these growing issues.
