Y’all might just be interested to know… this riddim can be traced back to Randy Newman. Randy Newman’s “Baltimore” to be specific. Nina Simone did a cover with an American band, but in a reggae style, then the JA band Tamlins did their own cover, then it was dubbed by Scientist, and subsequently has become canon within the riddim community. Blew my mind.
This had to have been in one of the GTA games
One of my favorite Scientist tracks. 🫶
Hell yeah. The entire album is 🔥
Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
Sweet… didn’t know he’d done a dub of this classic.
Made my night… cheers for posting this.
