For a minute they have you guessing if they still got it, and then they hit you again with another solid aural treat from the depths of creation. Grab their new album Blackbird! if you haven’t heard of FFD before, than get all their albums, and spend your day off realizing what you’ve been missing. Here are a few treats…

Brand New! Busy Signal – Artiste

A killer dancehall nugget from JA heavyweight, Busy Signal! You know, now that I think about it, his name sounds kinda weird? I guess there is some reason behind it, but I never really thought about the name until just now because he puts out so much killer music! Its a sparse video, but it gets it’s point across that you don’t need any special video effects to outshine Busy. In the song he talks about how everybody thinks they’re an artist and how hot they are, and comes off a bit arrogant, but its true that everybody wants to be a star but they don’t all want to put in the hard work to get there. I thought he was talking about how everybody is an artist, at first, but i guess not.
