"Crucifixion of the Ghetto" Chapter 2 "To Get a Hit...(You haffe fit)" Rootsland "Reggae's Untold Stories"
-
- Music History
In Chapter 2 of "Crucifixion of the Ghetto" dancehall culture takes front stage. To get a hit "You haffe fit" loosely translated from Jamaican patios means to get a hit you have to be fit. During that fist year of recording at Studio K, those lyrics from the 1985 Black Uhuru song "Fit you Haffe Fit" had become a mantra, a catch phrase at the studio to always be alert, aware, attuned to both mentally and physically. Now that Henry K and Bigga Staar are venturing into the world of Dancehall Music, those lyrics are more useful than ever.
Produced by Henry K in association with Voice Boxx Studio Red Hills, Jamaica
Guest vocals by Patrick "Curly Loxx" Gaynor, Hayden "Bush" Campbell Steve "Bigga Staar" Briskman
Intro by Michelle "Kim" Yamaguchi
