‘Vex’ is the debut 12” from Nazamba, a fire and brimstone dub poet from Kingston, Jamaica who will drop a full album with France’s O.B.F. sound system soon. The riddim is produced by G36, an anarcho-dub collective from Nagasaki, Japan who also have their own EP incoming on Pressure. The spirit of Prince Far I reincarnated, riding a scifi steppa that relentlessly aims to flatten all floors. Nazamba’s angry rant against the global epidemic of morally bankrupt, indelibly corrupt politicians, is a straight shot to Babylon’s head. B side is the Vex (Demolition Dub). ‘Vex’ is released on neon yellow vinyl 12”.

Out on The Bug's label, Pressure, this comes with full recommendation. A shattering steppa--you don't want to mess with Nazamba.
