6./5. Uzimon, “Ganja Fix Everything”/”Steven Seagal”

Listen to enough reggae, and you might start to believe that the cure for all the world’s ills can be found in a ganja pipe. On “Ganja Fix Everything,” Uzimon—a white deejay who looks like Yellowman, sounds like Collie Buddz and perpetrates like Snow—takes this premise to the extreme. Proffering sensi as a cure for everything from mental retardation to rickets, the video finds Uzi passing joints around an operating room like a character out of Adult Swim’s Children’s Hospital, miraculously curing a cancer-stricken patient. His 2011 LP Pussy Weapon is filled with (hear some of the tunes from that album in the EPK below, or stream the LP right here) similar fare, but his masterstroke is surely “Steven Seagal,” an ode to the ultimate reggae-loving Babylonian— on the Sleng Teng riddim, no less. The video for “Champion Sound” is pretty damn funny too, though the rapper dude cameo kinda brings the song down. Watch it below (after the EPK), and decide for yourself.
