Reemah Returns!

Maybe because it's been awhile since we've last heard from her, or maybe you were unaware in the first place, but Reemah is a genius. Clearly, the esteemed Silly Walks agrees as they've tapped the Virgin Islands word scientist for their latest creation, the triumphant and flatly nommed Roots and Culture Riddim and she WELL rewards their work with the MASSIVE 'As Far As I Can See'.  

"As far as I can see, the  truth it must reveal

Because di system is a plague, people a get sick

DEM DUTTY LIKE A SEPTIC

As far as I can tell, they cannot prevail

And all di wicked dem ah plan could never work out

DI FYAH NEVA BURN OUT

From di people still ah suffer, bun a fyah mek it melt

Whole a dem a lyah, sell wi out fi just a cent

Neva care bout humanity and it evident

MONEY A DEM GOD BUT MOST HIGH A WHO WI REPRESENT

Hand inna di air and inna di water

Biological weapon a wah dem order

No si di countless millions who dem ah torture

FLY OUTTA BABYLON, WATCH MI DEPORT YA!

Inna di midst of psychological oppression, dem waan wi inna decline-

Inna deep depression

Cause di system got wi blind 

CONSCIOUSNESS INNA REGRESSION

And di pressures got wi stressing, basically go use discretion

Wah mek di rich, alone, ah benefit?

And inna di ghetto, most of di people dem no well-equipped

POLITICIANS STOP DI BS CAH WI SMELLING IT!

RELIGION IS A POISON AND THEY'RE SELLING IT!

Pure genocide, dem ah seek

Nuff a dem a big parasite, dem a leech 

Dem no got no love

Instead di war dem ah teach

DEM AH TRY SUPPRESS DI TRUTH AND SO DEM WHITEWASH AND AH BLEACH

Wi beseech dem

Cah money pile, you no si how dem ah stock it

ALL WHEN DEM AH STOCK IT, TEK IT FROM DI POOR POCKET

IF A POOR POCKET, DEM AH SEH A MORE PROFIT

FYAH BUN DEM AUTOMATIC!"

Grrrrrr! To my ears, as it has always been, that is a VERY RARE skill that Reemah possesses. The ability to both write it and then deliver it melodically is extra-terrestrial. She is existing in the stars somewhere!

And, in case you're wondering, Silly Walks also spread the R&C Riddim around just a bit, with Jesse Royal also providing his own excellent take atop it. Royal's old school saturated riddim title track is (fantastic) from years ago and, apparently, someone at the label realized [correctly] that they had a potential jewel on their hands and brought it back. Also, do not sleep at all on either 'Lift Me' or 'Jah Jah See' from Jah Lil and Inezi, respectively, as both are top notch efforts as well (especially 'Jah Jah See') (it's a little I Wayne-esque to my ears). 

So, be sure to check out the latest release, 'As Far As I Can See', from the incomparable Reemah who is in her typical destructive form as the world awaits her next full length release; as well as the rest of the big artists on the Roots and Culture Riddim from Silly Walks when it drops on the 5th of April.
