In 1979 (or there about), Willie Williams delivered the
ground breaking song “Armageddon Times” on the Real Rock Riddim. His song spoke of the hardships that people
were experiencing, receiving multiple ‘forwards’ for his classic lines, “a lot
of people won’t get no supper tonight / a lot of people going to suffer
tonight.”

The Real Rock riddim has been sampled countless times. To spice up The Fugees 1996 song “Zealot,”
Wyclef sings the line “another MC lose his life tonight,” while KRS-One uses
the sample throughout the 1993 song “Black Cop.” These are just 2 examples outside of the
Reggae and Dancehall fraternity, and to bring it in, let’s look at Digital One Productions!
Teaming with Patexx,
the duo have crafted the song “Caan
Work.” To put this in context,
asking a true Rasta to eat pork, caan work.
Asking Tarrus Riley to not make hit records, caan work; and asking
telling the world that David Rodigan is not worthy of every award and honor he
receives … well, that caan work! This is
the premise of Patexx’s chune “Caan Work.”
Speaking for ghetto youths around the world, the artist says
“what mek yuh think we thief the water what mek yuh think we thief the light /
cause we can’t live without the necessities of life / politics and politicians
are two sump’n weh me nuh like / dem and GCT ah just pest inna we life / we nih
have no pretty car and we nuh have nuh pretty bike / we nuh live inna dih hills
look down pon dih city lights / we ah dih youths dem who a bounce it pon some
cardboard ah night / den we wake up and go hustle at dih stop light / it can
work….” K-A-B-O-O-M! Puuuuuull up!
Patexx’s voice has matured, his delivery is air tight, and
quite frankly, if you are not playing this chune, it’s for 1 of 2 reasons: 1 you don’t play Reggae (shame on you), or 2,
you’re in favour of the governments treatment of poor people (shame on you
again). This chune is a must play!
