Earl Sixteen - Ghetto College (D. Clarke) For lovers of roots reggae, Earl Sixteen probably needs no introduction. In his career spanning over 4 decades he recorded with countless legendary producers and did hundreds of shows all over the globe. In 2011 we released Earl Sixteen's critically acclaimed album The Fittest and since then he contributed to various of our releases such as both the Addis Pablo albums and more recent “Stronger” on Kenny Smyth’s Powerful Dread LP. And now, finally we can proudly present a full length follow up album! A tribute to the foundation of reggae music, Roots Foundation! On the album you will hear organic roots riddims and dubs with Earl's soulful vocals, including a brand new version of one of his own classics (Natty Dread a General), and a collaboration with another roots reggae giant, Mutabaruka. In this first new video Earl sings his version of Ghetto is a College, one of our favourite tracks from iconic vocal harmony group, The Meditations.
