Words by Natalie Weiner—
Mikey Jarrett, a Brooklyn legend, may be best known for his 1992 hit “Mack Daddy,” but 20-plus years later, he’s still on the scene — this time, with a collaboration with prolific producer Prince Polo. The Jamaican deejay and New York producer are coming together to bring some vintage dancehall vibes with their new joint “Haul and Pull Up.” It’s the first release off Polo’s new album Mix Me Down Operator, which is out tomorrow, and also features guest appearances from LargeUp family Addis Pablo and Bajah, along with legends like Ranking Joe.
We’ve got an exclusive premiere of the track, which you can purchase here tomorrow. Check it out, along with an album sampler and a video of Jarrett and vocalist Kendra Morris speaking about working with Prince Polo, below, courtesy of Last.fm, below.
