Turn Up is what I am known to do, in Dancehalls the world over.
Then, the people in attendance also… Turn The FK Up 🙂
Vibrant, life affirming energy is always preferable to the nonsense and violence. The original version on “Turn Up” is up on Bandcamp now for free download. The full EP won’t be widely distributed until later this year. I’m hoping to get some remixes in from different producers. I also put the original Riddim there for MCs who want to version it. We can release it on Electro Reggae, or you can put it out on your own. Just give credit.

LYRICS:
Gyal you’re pretty with the lights on?
In the dance you can never be careful enough
I want to hit you with the right song, to keep it hype
Ain’t no Dancehall chairs pulling up
Bashment and the DJ control it, If you got the glamity you better show it
Inna the city where they’re fighting for the riches ain’t no way you want to miss this, it’s a critical moment
Right now – Gyal you got the recipe, let me see you move your waist inna the party
Pon di ground – Have whole heap of energy, superstar fi di show pon the marquee
Like so – Gyal you hold dem with di sweetness, plus the intellect combination
Hold it down – Hot gyal inna di dance get The Badman full appreciation
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
Ravers, Spotlight, Hot gyal winding
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
Hold tight, No fight, All night grinding
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
All night grinding
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
All night grinding
Turn Up! Turn Up
Ram dance session, Everybody join in!
Presentation is exciting, energizing
Gather ’round and behold this
When you’re underneath the lighting, hypnotizing
Bend your back and unfold this
Electricity no one to compare with
If you got the glamity you better share it
The way you tik it and you tock, Play the music ’round the clock
Inna dance keep it hot, I can’t bear it.
Right now – Gyal you got the recipe, let me see you move your waist inna the party
Pon di ground – Have whole heap of energy, superstar fi di show pon the marquee
Like so – Gyal you hold dem with di sweetness, plus the intellect combination
Hold it down – Hot gyal inna di dance get The Badman full appreciation
Alright,
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
Ravers, Spotlight, Hot gyal winding
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
Hold tight, No fight, All night grinding
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
All night grinding
– Turn Up! Turn Up!
All night grinding
Turn Up! Turn Up
