Biscuit!!! SPRAGGA BENZ – Red Dot Special (Rha-ta-ta-ta) ft. Swizz Beatz, Kardinal Offishall & Shabba Ranks

*INSERT CURLY AND TU LOX "SPRAGGA!" HERE!

I rarely wake up to good news, so when I saw that another Spragga Benz single dropped this morning, I was stoked!!! (Can I say "stoked" without being judged?? No? Well I don't care *indignant face*) Paired with Swizz Beatz (insert your own views here), Kardinal Offishall and SHABBA EFFIN RANKS, this is my new summer song!



Spragga's new album and documentary are called "Shotta Culture" and are expected to drop August 31, 2010. The first official single released was the title track "Shotta Culture", produced by one of my favorite musicians, Salaam Remi. The video, seen below, was directed by Ras Kassa (same person who directed Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" video.) There is so much back story to this project and Spragga Benz will definitely be sharing his story once the documentary comes out. In an interview conducted last August, Spragga spoke to DancehallUSA.com about what to expect:




                                 ...."It’s a 90-minute documentary and I will be candidly talking about everything about Jamaica – gang violence, politics. We nah glamourise it but we a speak pon all these things[.]”




Spragga's son, Carlton Grant Jr., was killed in a shoot out with Jamaican police in 2008. While this project was being completed, Spragga felt the need to include elements of the aftermath of his son's death, including the court case, in the documentary: 




                                  ...."We want to include the trial. We want to put the full story in it. Show seh the law do its job, if it do it job[.]” 




This movie will be about Spragga's life and should feature many recognizable faces, such as Stephen Marley and Buju Banton. I can't wait!

Hit them with music, Rasta! Welcome back, Spragga!

Enjoy!!
