Roots man, integrity and no bs, just reminded me to buy a new supply of his goodness. Extra tasty!

Before DD and the sauce, I used to buy reggae records from Levi at record fairs, a nice guy to deal with, I have a few of his 7’s from way back, I knew it was always good to put a Levi Roots tune in the stack I was buying, to help with the deal ✌️
