Blacka Blacks

This smooth sounding rasta is Blacka. I worked with him in Westmoreland on a farm. My videos are all shit compared to this one. For those who have listened to the jamaica mix we made with MrWolf, this is the man behind the good/the bad/the worste and the 1 chop/2 chop philosophy. blessings going out to him...

Papine, North East kingston

When i was in Kingston I was staying with girl in north east Kingston and Papine was the bus stop. It's also from there that you get a bus up to the Blue Mountains if your driver doesn't chopped...

Half Way Tree to Papine

This is the bus i'd be taking from Papine down the hill to Half Way Tree and back. From there you can get a connection to Downtown and pretty much anywhere in Kingston.

Cheesy little number here...





Westmoreland, where the sensi come from

Spent some nice times in the hills of Westmoreland. Meeting many farmers and working with them for a while. Sleeping outside, washing in the river everyday, collecting drinking water from the spring, cooking good food and working the land, and of course a little ganja farming. Roots!!
