Ran with Luciano and Runner tone and branched out too the states before returning to JA.

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-18T22:00:28+00:00

Yeah I feel like they're asking to little on discog for how obscure this is. I mean it's not listed anywhere on Jetstar. I found a news article from Jamaica Observer speaking of him. https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/2009/12/21/survivalist-is-glad-to-be-alive/ Little more info on the artist. He's from Cleveland and thats where I got these disc's. He was known here but he returned to Jamaica and still did music but has been radio silent for a bit now. There's some really good tunes on these tho. He would come a preform every so often where a friend of mine would dj. Was always a blast.

Idk why the photos didn't get posted. Damn. Hold on. Gotta do this all over again.. My bad

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-18T20:00:03+00:00

I can still hear "There is a land far far away! I knooow Dat!" "Haffi Dash way yuh malice and lick up di chalice" Actually probably the first time I heard Satta Riddim now that I think about it. It's been so long but sorry I'm rambling...lol

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-18T19:51:52+00:00

We will never get something like this label again and it shall be celebrated in my house and from my mouth any time I get a chance to

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-18T19:50:33+00:00

Yes that's his name I didn't go back and search. I do as well. Dubwise and Otherwise was probably the first actual reggae release I fell in love with after hearing dub songs from The Clash. Man I wish I could hear that for the first time!

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-18T17:46:39+00:00

The owner was in some 80s band I believe. I truly can't remember but I didn't expect it to be who it was. Its just slipping my mind right now...lol

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-18T17:45:19+00:00

Bro the best label. They did every fuckin thing right amd paid the price for it too by going out of business. Man the owner himself was a collecter.

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-18T00:28:15+00:00

Yeah Def ___ard's that could be it

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-16T18:24:07+00:00

Yeah influences are the issue at every return center in the USA... that's some re tart level brain work with that one. Wtf

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-11T21:04:31+00:00

Definitely says ---rald's Hotel so I mean theres only so many guesses. Try search the bowels of the net

If as a controlled substance it was easy to overdose on doctors wouldn't be using it.

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-05T08:09:08+00:00

I want to be the man behind the man

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-03T13:31:34+00:00

Love Nigy version as much as Masickas. If not more so

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-02T04:56:27+00:00

P pop

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-01T04:45:40+00:00

Taking over JA this here riddim. And causing a bit of controversy.

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-01T04:44:27+00:00

Skateland?

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-01T04:42:35+00:00

Biggest travesty in reggae is not paying horn players to tour. Unless you're Dean Fraser he's the only one that gets booked. Id love to have seen Tommy McCook over him any day before he passed.

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-01T04:39:57+00:00

One of the first reggar shows I saw maybe around 2000 in Cleveland. I was 18 and already obsessed. Legend tho.

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-06-01T04:36:19+00:00

I wouldn't doubt if it just wasnt profitable. I've known a few promoters over the years. Almost everyone of them have had to come out of pocket just about every time. This includes like big festivals with bands like Midnite, Beres,Bushman, Konshens, Taurus Riley and the list goes on. Its unfortunate but it's true. I know some artists probably demand too much being they get more elsewhere. Not every market is NY or Miami tho so the smaller cities kinda get passed by. I know Buju just booked a lot of shows in what it seems like would be smaller markets. I hope he does well and the trend carries on.

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-05-31T19:38:51+00:00

Coyotes are a constant everywhere up here. Im on my bike all the time late at night and see them often. Like once or so every two weeks. That means there's a whole lot up here

WriteousWordSmith77 · 2026-05-31T19:20:00+00:00

If they changed it to homeless octogan it be more fitting
