Traffic Jam

Two years ago I heard this song while riding in a taxi in Kingston, Jamaica. The chorus has been in my head ever since, but I didn't remember enough of the actual lyrics to figure out how to track the song down. That is, until I heard it on the reggae internet radio tonight. I couldn't believe my ears...two years of listening to reggae music and I finally heard the song again!



Stephen Marley (aka Raggamuffin) has a ways to go in the reggae world. He hasn't quite achieved the fame of his well known brother Damian, and definitely doesn't live up to his father Bob's musical legacy. He does have a collection of Grammys though, from his days with his other brother, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.


Just for the record, the only thing about this song that I endorse is the catchy riddim. I'm never going to get it out of my head...
