Suspect Packages proudly presents the brand new double A side 7" single from Life MC, 'Sound System' b/w 'Rastaman Soldier'.
Long before his Hip Hop days with Phi-Life Cypher and in more recent years as a solo MC, Life's roots started out by flexing dancehall lyrics back in the late 80's on local Luton sound systems Falcon Sound, Freedom Sound and Sovereign Roadshow, a passion that has never left him and one he's returned to for this release.
Sound System pays homage to the singers, djs and sound systems from JA to UK he grew up listening to and took inspiration from in these early years, name checking a who's who of the international reggae fraternity from start to finish, riding a Hip Hop fused Reggae riddim produced by German based Macro Beats, neatly! It'll have you lifting up the needle and pulling the tune back one time, two times!
The flipside cut Rastaman Soldier is produced by Romanian based Lion Riddims, with Life once again coming correct with some wicked lyrics, double time stylee on a conscious tip, sure fire lick shots! Both tracks are mixed down by the don dada Nappa.
(Presented in a full colour cover with inner sleeve, pressed on green vinyl with a large center hole, free download code containing both tracks as wav and mp3, full artwork, and a special 'Words From Life' write up from the man himself, on his history and influences growing within the Luton reggae scene)
