🇯🇲 Linton Kwesi Johnson "Want Fi Goh Rave" Long Version - 1979 (Generic sleeve)
#dubpoetry #reggae #dub #dubmusic #vinyl

Linton Kwesi Johnson, “Sonny’s Lettah”. I lived in Streatham and would catch the tube from Brixton to get to work. I would see the SPG vans regularly. Horrible, horrible policing.

Chronique ordinaire de violences policières dans le quartier jamaïcain du Londres des années 70.

Celle-ci finit très mal pour celui qui a osé relever la tête.

"Want fi goh rave"
(LKJ. 1979)

Great song about the hardness of life and how broken youth dealt with it.
LKJ sings it in jamaican patwa but it's easily understandable, or at least guessable.
Enjoy.

"Open up, it's the police, come on, open up"

"What address do you want?"

"Number 66, come on, open up"

Weston, feeling high, replied,
"Yes, this is Street 66, step right in and Take some licks."

"Street 66"
