about

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO - youtu.be/WW-ZgqEf2d4
"Babylon Children" is a cover of Aswad’s powerful “African Children” track
This updated version is as politically relevant today as it was when originally released 34 years ago in highlighting poverty, housing conditions and inequality.
In light of the Grenfell Tower tragedy I thought the track was appropriate to support this cause, as it occurred very close to the area I spent most of my life in and many of my friends have been affected personally and lost family members.
Spikey Tee’s end vocal coda of “Chant down babylon and help turn the page” adds the importance of making your voice heard in a society that so often sweeps aside the voices of the many in favour of the few
All proceeds of the single /EP release will raise money for those affected by the Grenfell Tower Fire that occurred in London in June 2017
