King Short Shirt - Harikari

[@tamwithtwobees1715]

This is one of my favourites. Tobitt is a master creator/writer. A genius. King Short Shirt is the messenger. One of Antigua's top calypsonians. Both men are celebrated and icons of the island.

THERE ARE SIX SONGS ON THIS ALBUM. TINY AND RUTH AND MAMA LOU (SHORT SHIRT MOTHER AND SISTERS) ASKED ME TO DO THE ALBUM BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LIKE THE SONGS HE HAD FOR HIS ANINVERSARY ALBUM. I WROTE 3 SONGS( HARA KIRI, J'OUVERT RHYTHM, AND COME) AND CHOSE 3 FROM WHAT HE HAD. I WENT TO NEW YORK AND PRODUCED THE ALBUM AND GAVE IT TO HIM.

Time is the master, karma always finds his servant and repays them in ways they never imagined. Just leave it up to time and karma

I thought he was a trini anyways we're all the same Caribbean people.

The Title is "Harikari". I wrote and produced this album - they don't even know the name of the song.

Shelly Tobitt well give thanks for letting me know bcuz it is a rare gem 💎. Which album is it on?

[@Randy-Roberts]

DJ Panras oldSchoolDJmaster This song came from “King Short Shirt’s 25th Anniversary” Album, released in 1987, on the WB Record Label. The musical arrangements were done by St. Vincent’s, Frankie “Maestro” McIntosh.

DJ Panras oldSchoolDJmaster Thanks for upping this. It is indeed hard to find.

[@djpanrasdaversiteoldschool8912]

Randy Roberts thanks for the input

DJ Panras oldSchoolDJmaster 👍🏾

[@edgarpeters6166]

who's the guy that pops up in the chorus of the song?

[@shellytobitt9355]

@Randy Roberts DON'T FUCK WITH ME. YOU BETTER HAVE A CHAT WITH THE SINGER. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 3 SONGS ON 'CARIBBEAN CHARM', I HAVE WRITTEN EVERY SONG ON EVERY ALBUM FOR SHORT SHIRT UP UNTIL MY LAST ALBUM FOR HIM, 'GEE WE MUSIC'. AND A FEW SINGLES HERE AND THERE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, SHORT SHIRT HAS NEVER WRITTEN A SONG.

@Randy Roberts WHOEVER THE HELL YOU ARE, BE CAREFUL i DON'T SUE YOUR ASS. THIS ENTIRE ALBUM IS MY PROPERTY. I WROTE IT , I PRODUCED IT. I PAID FOR IT. YOU ARE ONLY ABLE TO USE IT HERE BECAUSE I ALLOW IT, AND I REALLY DO NOT GIVE A SHIT - BUT ALL THAT CAN EASILY CHANGE. SHORT SHIRT IS MY COUSIN, AND I ALLOW HIM TO USE MY WORKS OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART. DON'T GET ON MY WRONG SIDE.
