Deadly Dragon Sound's Reggaematic Podcast

YEAR OF THE GUN is a classic one from the Deadly Dragon vaults. Mixed back in 2003, YEAR OF THE GUN takes all the best and rarest gun man tunes from the 90s and mixes them in pure DDS style. There is no doubt that gun tunes themselves are a deeply controversial aspect of Jamaican music. And I am not here to defend the tunes or the negative aspects of this mix. Music and art about violence have been around since, well, since the beginning of art itself and my podcast page will not solve any debates. What I hoped to show in this mix was the way in which the artists whose songs are included took the theme of violence and elevated it through metaphor, delivery, etc. into something closing in on the sublime; and when all is said and done, taking violence and turning it into art will always be positive.
