[@triveneesalick]

I'm 31 yrs and listening to reggae has been a big life changer for me 🙏🙏

[@curthylton6279]

Lawd god this song means everything. Born and raised in New York but with Jamaican parents. I stay functioning as if deh can ship me somewhere. No Rikers for me ❤❤

[@nsimaedet5400]

I play this song repeatedly everyday since I came to know it, it's ageless

[@brombromsmuva9215]

As a new yorker of jamaican immigrants, this song hits so close to home.

[@AnarkeeSoundVibes]

true story. so many yardie come a foreign and live this song same way. yuh woulda tink sey dem learn from dis song

[@gtempress92]

This is one of the first reggae tune back in the day that got me to love the vibes...nuff youths come to America, get caught up and end up there. This song is ageless.

I was just 15 years old when I first listen to this master blaster from Cocoa Tea, I never stopped listing to it all throughout my school years...now am 45 years it still sounds so crispy just like when i was 15. Thanks a bunch IAmTheGorgon for this wonderful stuff

[@VHShit]

You can find good music today and there was a lot shit that came out in 1990

[@joserondon5740]

[@MrSkip15]

love the beat, we sitting down in the park smoke a ganja drink some beer and enjoy the sunshine! and ofcourse listing to this beautifull song :D

[@Elwin66]

I remember this song as being a hit in Guyana in 1991. This made me love Georg. and Stabroek market even more! Back in Holland it reminds me of this fine country.

[@3miami368]

You said it 💯

[@MentalPistol]

The effect on the hook is amazing. Sounds like harmonizer + chorus.

[@tylerwairi3606]

Cocoa Tea masters every riddim 💯

[@pbroker]

the song opens with "the first time the youth come to ny" He is referring to people arriving from the w.i. and even guyana.

Great chune🎉 I have been searching for it,and I always find it so sweet and melodious❤

[@jahluva2000]

I like both versions. The one wit Nardo Ranks is dope as hell....but this version is even different from the one I have with Coca Tea by himself. This sounds like more of a Lovers Rock version. The one wit Nardo is FYAH!!!!!

[@NOLA.licioussss]

This one da slower is way better

[@xanderlee4733]
