Twist, Bounce, Roll…
This is actually the first song I sent Slugo. The title is what the track wanted, even before the lyrics were created. Just listening to the Rddim by itself, you already know what to do. Twist, Bounce, Roll. It was written with simplicity in mind, but it describes what you’ll see on a dance floor at any given moment. People will be performing any combination of those movements. If it becomes popular enough, someone will choreograph to it. Order is established from chaos.
Now back it up… Now break it down.
This is how society works. It all starts with freedom of expression. Mass adoption requires structure, aka ORDER. As society collapses authority will try to maintain their established order, but a return to chaos is inevitable. In essence none of this is good or bad. It’s just the natural progression, moving like a musical wavelength or an EKG, clocking the heartbeat. It’s the life cycle of civilization, but everything follows the same pattern.
Ground Zero Tribute
If we ever talk in person, I’ll be sure to bore you with my observations about how originators are largely ignored by industry, and have to fight their way through the underground. Chicago Juke is just like Chicago Blues in that regard. So is Electro Reggae, for that matter. It’s important that pioneers of any aesthetic prepare to run the veritable marathon. The record will set itself straight eventually, and you want to be there to benefit.

Twist Bounce Roll
Now back it up… Now break it down
Rudebwoy step it up inna the dance session
Gyal a wind dem waist leave a lasting impression
Hit them with the latest and greatest from playlist, outrageous
Badman a bring the vibes without question
Cultures around the world mix it up without friction
You let them do your dance, but it never changes your conditions
Right here now we’re ground zero
Tribute to who originated the sound, Hero Zone
Make it known, It’s the Soul mission
