 ÌýÌýListen to Jimmy Swing and hear the track Universal Struggle by Anthony B (Jetstar KPCRCD0639, 1997)
I am from Bristol, originally - spent most of my life in Jamaica though, but I am from Bristol originally. I’m a reggae DJ - I like my reggae. I have been DJing for most of my life - about 25 years, so I know my type of music anyway. I try and do something else to occupy my time apart from music. I’m into hard core reggae - to me its a message music, its got a message of the people, the way they live everyday in the ghetto. What they see, what they hear, how they live so that is why I like it.
Its a tune by an artist called Anthony B and the title is ‘Universal Struggle’. I pick this tune for the lyrical content - it’s about life on the whole. Every day the load gets heavier - as you go along the road you pick up more load, it’s life. So I like that tune, its about everyday life and everyday music. You can relate to what the people are saying in the lyrics.
And I relate to the rhythm, cause I’m a Jamaican. I do play Reggae most - I will play 75% reggae. Now and again I will play hip-hop or R&B, and the hip-hop and R&B music that I listen to is still down to earth. The ones that are dealing with everyday realities - those are the ones I listen to - but it's reggae all the way.
