Two giants of Jamaican music – Burro “The Veteran” Banton & Cornel “The Gorgon” Campbell – meet here for the first time ever on record, and absolutely mash it up on Mista Savona’s roots production “A Living Riddim”. Wheel it!! A tune dealing unapologetically with the mounting pressures of modern-day life around the world, with Cornel’s sweet falsetto acting as the perfect backdrop for Burro’s massive and hard-hitting voice to tear up the verses. Not for the faint-hearted!

Taken from the forthcoming 17-track ‘”I’m Living (The Versions & Remixes EP)”, which sees Mista Savona remixing and versioning his own “A Living” riddim release. Brand new cuts feature some glorious performances from Jamaican legends Prince Alla, Sizzla, Pinchers and Ilements, as well as stripped back acoustic versions and some heavy electronic remixes from the likes of Stickybuds & Ed Solo (CANADA), Gaudi (UK), 3rdeye (AUS), B.R.E.E.D. (India/USA), Mista Savona (AUS) and more.

Jake Savona, aka Mista Savona, is arguably Australia’s leading exponent of roots reggae and dancehall music. In 2011 he released his groundbreaking fourth studio album “Warn The Nation” – which saw him working alongside internationally renowned artists such as Capleton, Sizzla, Horace Andy (Massive Attack), Anthony B, Alton Ellis, Burro Banton and many more. JJJ called it “Australia’s definitive reggae album” and the Sydney Morning Herald defined it as “fantastic…the most incredible reggae album”.

Savona’s previous studio album release, the pioneering “Melbourne Meets Kingston” (2007), is a 21 track tour de force – the first ever album length collaboration between Jamaican and Australian musicians. Featuring reggae luminaries such as Anthony B, Big Youth, Determine, Lisa Dainjah and many more, “Melbourne Meets Kingston” has been described as “a landmark for Australian music”.

LYRICS:

Cornel:

“Too much pressure, in this Kingston town..”

Burro:

“Now I and I say, Love is not to brag, and Life is not to gamble (pressure)
This is Burro Banton (so much pressure)
And that is Cornel Campbell (pressure)
It’s reality (total pressure) – tell ’em about it Cornel!”

Cornel (Chorus 1):

“Pressure and more pressure,
Everyone is feeling it now.
It’s like a stormy weather,
Taking over the whole world now.” x 2

Burro (Verse 1):

“Lord…..Sufferation it a take over the whole, wide world
A pressure humanity, the boys and girl
Pollution it a kill we and that need fe curb
The hole in a the ozone forming, mark mi word
El Niño water level it a rise,
Smoke and smog, chloro-carbon in a sky
Too much acid rain, and the fish dem a die
When the isles, will it bring tears to me eye (oh Jah Jah now)

Cornel (Chorus 2):

“Pressure and more pressure,
Everyone is feeling it now.
It’s like a stormy weather,
Taking over the whole world now.
I wish that I could fly,
Like a bird in the sky
Cost of living is too high,
The system don’t suit I and I”…
