Barry Issac

UK singer Barry Issac has lined up three fresh new 7's which offer a window into exactly what's going on in Hackney's contemporary dub and reggae scenes. With decades in the game and a voice steeped in righteous fire, his first is 'Life In De Ghetto' which is a classic sound with invitingly slow rhythms topped with OG horns, some playful percussive hits and wiggles and a smooth vocal with conscious lyrics about the challenges of life. On the flip is the Ghetto Life Dub, which turns up the dub and lets the melodies linger a bit more in the air. Two classic and fresh roots rollers.
