The Remedy''
Is called the REMEDY because:
"is a self - served tonic for me and hopefully this will be the same for anyone else listening".
DUBSTYLE -
This is an introduction to those who don't know what I do and a re-introduction to those who do. The track is about playing on a sound system and is also about being able to use music without using violence.
WOOD 4 THE TREEZ -
A relationship song from a male pespective when a relationship doesn't seem to be going anywhere and you can't work out what to do next.
JAMAICA -
This track is about escapism. At some point in our lives we find a place in our minds to go when things aren't going our way. And mine is JAMAICA (the beaches) it is an image that I would see in my head when the city is grinding me down.
BULLSEYE -
This track is about taking a chance and working your hardest to achieve your goals.
PARANOIA -
This track is about my experience working in the music industry when the situations arise you sometimes wonder are there glaring problems in the media or am I just being paranoid?
I'll leave that question out there!
DUST OFF -
This track is about trial and error. It is about picking yourself up and trying again. Learning from your mistakes and being honest enough to know that you make them.
FLY AWAY -
This is a dancehall track about getting to know my girl better.
ENGLAND -
This track is about touring around the UK and in between growing up in the music industry.
TOAST TO FATE -
It is a celebration of the fact that fate has brought me to the point of wanting to stop making music. At the same time fate has also put good people and allies in my path which has brought me success.
TELLING LIES -
Exactly what it says on the tin... rappers who are mummy's boys outside of the booth and gangstars in them.
SCANDALOUS -
Some women can be a man's Achilles heel no matter how strong willed we appear to be some women are our weakness.
CAN'T YOU SEE -
This is about the loop that some young black boys and men find themselves in and its my way of highlighting that.
I'M TO BLAME -
A song about that talks about when you neglect the person that means the most to you in your life. I wrote it from the perspective of a man to a woman but it could be anyone, your relative or a friend.
DUB STYLE (ALL STARS REMIX) -
One of the highlights of my career is to have 3 artists that I have up most respect for who gave up some of their time to bless the track. I am eternally grateful for their input and I look at this track as the icing on the cake.
