Killer and previously unreleased digital roots tune from the late '80s/early '90s, from Albert "Ilawi" Malawi and Alvin "Negus" Thompson, produced between Connecticut and the Bronx. Digital heads should love this one, one of the best previously unreleased digital tunes we've had the pleasure to unearth.

Finally, the second installment of our Negus Music 7" series of unreleased tunes from Albert "Ilawi" Malawi. Cut in the early '80s by Ilawi and friends at Channel 1 studio, these tracks were until now played exclusively on dubplate by Jahlovemuzik, the sound which Ilawi was long the selector for. Produced by Ilawi and long time Bronx soundman Alvin "Negus" Thompson.

These heavy early '80s tunes were produced via the fruitful partnership of Jah Life and Junjo Lawes, and have all been unavailable since their original release. All three were released as mini-discomixes on Jah Life's "Family Album" compilation LP, as well as on UK 12-inch singles and one JA 7-inch single. Again the unbeatable combination of the Roots Radics at Channel 1 studio, and the hard mixing of Scientist at King Tubby's studio and great vocals put these near the top of the heap for early '80s roots reggae. We are also pleased to point out that the dub mix on the B-side of "Alligator Tears" is a previously unreleased dubplate mix!

More killer ALL PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED mid '80s roots from Jah Life. If you liked our previous release of Flick Wilson's "Ready Fe Dem", you will love these cuts. Jah Life ran some sessions in the mid '80s at Channel 1 studio, with the then-resident Gifted Roots Band. None of the tracks from those sessions were ever released, until now! The aforementioned Flick Wilson tune came from those sessions, as do these. Three great vocal cuts on one very tough rhythm.

One of Huntley's longtime spars, Douglas Boothe, voiced 'Holy Mt. Zion', some classic repatriation lyrics. This tune comes with a different and unique dub versions as well.
