It’s criminal that there isn’t this culture today. Absolutely fascinating period of musical and geographical history

As pure as it gets.. Bigup to the person who kept those tapes and digitized it!

[@markielyrics]

That was my good old mate Mark Easton we grew up in Armoury Way Wandsworth togeather he was always into film and ended working as a professional film editor this was filmed out of our flats.. we knew all these peeps.. he kept these tapes for years, then digitized for his channel Pixinc.. The Kinolibary ask him to use it for their Achive because this is very rare footage.. Mark sadly passed away in 2021 RIP

Even though I am not of the rastafarian faith, it was a powerful moment in time when locks were a symbol of being proud of the way God made you. It's so sad what is being put out for young people to aspire to. Especially the boys 😳

They been faded away. These were my '"big homies'" as it were..(I was the 13-14 year old running around during this time--tryna impress) ha ha they was last generation that wasn't technical. Thus there has not been anyone representing the Dub on social meia like it should be. But MFers know what it is. #RespectTheDub
