I fell in love with the song as soon as I heard it, and including it on the album was a way of paying homage to the great artist that Bunny Rugs was...”. The track was produced in New York, written and arranged by Kwame Heshimu, and featured musicians such as Jonathan Fritz and Victor ‘Ticklah’ Axelrod, fundador das bandas “Easy Star All-Stars” e “Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra”.
