Original or remix – which one are you reaching for? 🤔
🔊 Under Mi Sensi – African Beat Riddim (1995)
🎤 Barrington Levy & Beenie Man
🎵 Paul 'Jah Screw' Love
🎚️ Time 1 International
It's hard to remix a classic like Under Mi Sensi 👑
Beenie Man jumps on the riddim and brings a completely different energy – without taking anything away from the original 🎯
The joy in his intro gets me every time 😁
Not that close! Hopefully a cul-de-sac for him
Before Sean Paul became a global megastar, he was making dancehall tunes like this addressing social and political issues in Jamaica 🇯🇲
What’s your favourite early Sean Paul track?

30+ years later and this tune STILL gets huge forwards 💥

Now the link-up returns to London 🔙📍
You sure it's not John Wark?
I love Mr Doo’s version of the classic Lecturer riddim that Ninjaman rides here: warm bass, crisp snares, dubbed out keyboards, and a saxophone melody that will live in your head for days 🎷🎹🥁
🔊 Mandela Come – Lecturer Riddim (1991)
🎤 Ninjaman
🎵 Cargill Lawrence
🎚️ Mr Doo
Ninjaman thought he should’ve been able to walk the streets of Kingston and be among the people of deprived areas such as Tivoli, Jungle, and Rema 🧑🏽🤝🧑🏿🌇
He recorded this to vent his frustration, with an impassioned, almost spoken word delivery that, 35 years later, is a valuable historical document 🔥
Why was Ninjaman angry about Nelson Mandela’s visit to Jamaica? 😡🤔
In July 1991, Nelson Mandela visited Jamaica and appeared at the national stadium, with musicians such as Jimmy Cliff, Marcia Griffiths, and Judy Mowatt performing in tribute 🎤🪘🎸
Was a good time to be an Arsenal fan ☺️
I don't remember any of the goals except maybe Andy Lineghan (teenage Arsenal fan), main memory is Tony Adams x Steve Morrow 😑
Same teams in both finals?
This from ChatGPT is a lot better but also much less fun
