I could write an essay about these songs – where they’ve come from, the social background, the links (it’s like a jigsaw puzzle), the breaks, etc, but suffice to say, listen with an open mind as well as open ears, and see what the lyrics are saying to you. (This one’s dedicated to everyone who’s vibing against the ‘big man’ idea of society, and towards something more fair, just, equal and decent – keep on).

Peace and love to my peeps, especially LLC, KO, the fam, Brooks, Gilla & Chloe, Kidk & Ms P, Corinne, the First Word Fam and all the worldwide fam everywhere!!!
