KING RAT LA LOTTE

This started with the name, I first came with the line  'He sent all his Monkey men'  but don't think that was appropriate, if you know what I mean?. It was a choice between . 'Gangsta men or Obea men'..Obea won. It was more dangerous, more Vodoo.  Think a strong old school reggae beat and you are under the spell.
 

KING RAT LA LOTTE

We don't have da freedom

for all that we fought
