Tricky’s “Mixed Race” album is one of his most personal to date. The title defines the black (Jamaican) and white (British) make up in his DNA, but more importantly, reflects his life’s experiences growing up in a very tough white ghetto in Knowle West in Bristol, England, where he was shaped by a variety of music and artists.
Luckily for Buju Banton fans and music enthusiasts around the globe, the jailed reggae singer made these ten seemingly prophetic recordings before his incarceration in November 2009.

It is hilarious, animated, inspiring, and controversial, with all dialogue and communication in verse and song!
I think it will takes us a very long time to rid ourselves of belief in ‘witchcraft’. A first step to changing attitudes is to begin talking about it and hearing from people who’ve been condemned to live as witches. The next step is to stop violence against women who are our mothers, grandmother, sisters, aunts and daughters.
