Yaadcore, Jah9
Reggae songstress Jah9 has teamed up with her colleague Yaadcore and the Subatomic Sound System for a cover of John Holt’s 1982 classic Police in Helicopter, which the
Avocado artist says has been “reimagined for a new generation”.
A few days ago Jah9 posted a captioned visualizer on her Instagram page announcing the song’s release “on all platforms”.
“Tribute Music one of my all-time favorites! John Holt’s classic
reimagined by my brothers @yaadcore and @subatomic,” she wrote. “I could do a whole lecture on what this song means to me. Instead, here’s a brief history… context for those too young to know the struggle it took to get to a place where we in Jamaica can openly use our medicine in peace. Still a long way to go before we truly unleash all the wholistic and economic potential of this magical plant. But we celebrate the small victories.”
