WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Jah Cure - New Video (Sticky) & New Music (Green Grass/Mission)

Posted about 1 year ago
Jah Cure celebrated his release from prison last summer with a wave of conscious reggae releases, but not much has emerged since. I think it's been 8+ years since Cure made a video "on the outside" (I think "Reflection" inside The Tower). So fans will be delighted to find this brand new one for "Sticky." The name implies that the song is about the Sticky Icky Icky, i.e. weed/ganja, but the lyrics and video tell a sombre tale instead of an irie one: Cure must be visiting the studio occasionally because in the year since True Reflections came out, I've heard 4 songs trickle onto the web. "Freedom" and "My Life" leaked last year and are joined now by "Sticky" and "Green Grass." The latter song is new to me, except that Cure sings on a very familiar riddim. The underlying instrumental is called Mission Riddim, made famous and familiar by Mavado's version, "I'm On The Rock". Stephen and Damian Marley also recorded a song on the Mission Riddim, though no one seems to know the song's title. You can listen to the Mavado and Marley songs on my previous post and you can listen to Cure's version here:Jah Cure - "Green Grass" on the Mission riddim:Reggae music community on MOG - In the interest of reggae history, maybe you can help me figure this out:Jah Cure was in prison for 8 years until last summer. I would have thought he didn't make any videos at all while in prison, but then I found "Reflections." I also found "Longing For":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUZCH5Q8D8IDo you know of any other videos with Jah Cure that were filmed during his incarceration?

  1. Scotch says Well, he released three albums while in prison. Maybe his website will show you which of his songs were made into videos? I haven't found a complete history on him yet...
