9. “Jamaica Jamaica”
Listen to this record. Listen to the lyrics. Cat shows he’s educated and his delivery is so nonchalant, as he tells the tale of how his island came about. Going way back when in history, he spans all over the world and comes right back to his home, the island of Jamaica. It’s an appealing track for a history buff like myself but mostly it’s the love he shows for the place he is from that makes it classic. He knows his roots, and this chune documents that precisely. —Micro Don
