Chronixx and Inner Circle Band on set Tennament Yard |
40 years after Inner Circle and Jacob Miller’s first hit record the Bad Boys of Reggae and Chronixx came together to put a new sound to the classic tune,‘Tenement Yard.’
The tune describes why life in a communal government housing scheme is not good for Rastas. “Dreadlocks can’t live in a tenement yard,” the young Rasta rebel sang, lamenting all the “watchy watchy” people chatting his business. For decades later, a new Rasta rebel steps up on the said Inner Circle riddim and delivers his message, with what amounts to a whole new song subtitled “News Carrying Dread.” Not only are the rhythm track and the message of the new tune in tune with the original, a sample of “Jakes” voice also rings throughout….

A video for the single will be released soon.
