I was a little boy when I first heard my rasta cousin playing this song on his tape he used to walk with and I used to be afraid of the song because I didn't clearly know what it meant but I knew it was a bad place.. And I used to think that's where they sent rastas.. Oh lawd poor little me.. Now I'm 45 years old today and I still blast this track and the riddim collection at home.. classic tune.. I also got to know John Holt had the original "Up Park camp".. 1977

[@wendynync]

Reminds me of my childhood in NY, this song was the "Ish" back in the day!

Rikers...... a country club now compared to the 90's. wish the yout a learn from our mistakes. retired FPK.

[@KamalasNotLikeUs]

B Blanco Are you kidding? Rikers was hard for those who had no clout. Rikers was easy for a lot of the street brothas, especially the ones from Harlem; it was like a reunion. I played "shawty" to quite a few Rikers inhabitants, and my mama branded my ass with the phone bills' ink as permanent proof. 😂

[@CKPro14]

Respect 🕷😎
