2. Sammy Dread, “M16”

If you’re going to be a one hit wonder, this might not be a bad hit to have. Sammy is one of the foundation singjays. This tune is about mood and attitude and not so much about lyrics. Can’t diss the lyrics though. They capture a historical moment — when people were surprised that gangsters had assault rifles. We kinda assume that now!
