Here
is a little selection of tunes dealing unapologetically with the
mounting pressures of everyday life around the world. ''The world is
troubled & living ain’t easy'' for many of our fellow brothers
and sisters out there. Politricks, War, Corruption, Lies, Killings, Warmongering, Banksters, Gangsters, Money, Greed. Tribal War Ina
Babylon. 2014 had it all. Or as funk/dub/industrial hip-hoppers
Tackhead put it on For The Love Of Money (track #20), their first album in
twenty three years:
''Welcome
to Liberty City... the busier you are the less you see. Two thieves
and a liar... they want to privatise the air. For the love of
money''.
I
wish I could find the right words to do a nice write-up for this
mixtape. But I think it might just be better to let the music speak
for itself.
If you listen carefully to a lot of songs, old and new - so many of
them share a message which is now more true than ever. And more
needed than ever! Play it loud and spread the message! Let us do something. Let's make 2015 a
better year. I love the lyrics on King Short Shirt's Press On,
which I added as a bonus track to this mix. Sweet Caribbean
Disco Groover with true words of prophecy:
Sometimes,
it seems
Ignorance
conquers all
Knowledge
and wisdom fall
Press
on, Press on
Sometimes,
It seems
Like
peace gone on holiday
And
violence come out to play
Press
on, Press on
Happy
New Year to all the readers & listeners of my blog. I wish you all the
best for 2015! PRESS ON, PRESS ON...! DubMe
