Last summer, we compiled a mixtape of good agrarian riddims after hearing a mixtape love letter to the parks. Since then, a few new songs have been brought to our attention. Here’s a lyrically potent B-side. A special new compilation for the summer. Both inspired by and dedicated to our favorite spoken word wizards: T.Payne, P.Jewett, and K.Hops.
Barrington Levy – Black Roses
Brushy One String – Chicken in the corn
Collieman – Farmerman Life
The Classics – Honey bee
Albarosie – Work
Don Carlos – Mr Sun
Rootz Underground – Farming
Tony Rebel – Fresh Vegetable
Keke – I Farmer Man
Quartiere Coffee – Italian Reggae Familia (feat. Albarosie as farmer)
Sister Carol – Veggie veggie
Don Carlos – Harvest Time
Max Romeo – Milk and Honey
Chezidek, Jah Mason, and Israel Voice – Farmland Medley
Movimiento Original – Natural
Trish’s new favorite: Mr Perfect – Handcart Bwoy
and finally, and of course, the Reggae Worms
yours, with big beets and big beats, T&J
