I found this new track and thought how great the track was. The track is entitled "Caa Hold Us Down" by Gentleman, Daddy Rings and Barrington Levy.
Although Jamaica is the home of reggae you hardly hear solid music like this. So dubtunes will seek them out and bring it to you.
Barrington Levy Teams With Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes
International superstar Barrington Levy has once again tapped members of Hip-Hop community to assist him as he makes another push for the mainstream spotlight. The Reggae legend has released two versions of the first single from his forthcoming album, one of which features Busta Rhymes and President-elect Barack Obama.
The new track, titled "No War," interpolates an Obama speech with lyrics by Busta Rhymes, Canada's Kardinal Offishall, and of course Levy himself.
The alternate version, which is currently making rounds online, adds multi-platinum rapper Lil Wayne to the line up.
About Barrington Levy
Barrington Levy is a star of Jamaican dancehall music. Known as the Mellow Canary of Reggae, he is a natural crooner with a voice that is both loud and lilting. Beginning his career as a protegé of Henry "Junjo" Lawes, Levy remains a trendsetter and a perennial favorite at concerts worldwide, known for his straight-out singing style. While his early career began with dancehall in the 1980s, in the 1990s he helped usher in the "jungle craze" of reggae music, in which deejays used remixes of his music to invent an all-new sound for the new millennium.
Born on April 30, 1964, in West Kingston, Jamaica, Levy spent his formative years in the city's rough Waterhouse neighborhood and in Clarendon. Drawn in his youth to such local reggae musicians as Dennis Brown, Levy was also inspired by American R&B artists like the Jackson 5. In early adolescence, Levy and his cousin Everton Dacres formed a musical combo they called the Mighty Multitude, recording a single, "My Black Girl," in 1975. Levy released his solo debut single, "A Long Time Since We Don't Have No Love," in 1978, and in the same year sang backup vocals for both Byron Lee and the Dragonaires and Barry Biggs.
New?? That song was hot in 2004 .. in fact that whole Gentleman album from that year did sell-off. Definitely not a new song ... definitely a classic though.
Thanks Ray for the correction. Is the first time I really hear that song and it really sound good.
