An from him a talk him a de only man box mi, mi seh ‘mi nah box yu back. Mi nah make de press write a morning seh me aggressive. Me a make de worl’ know say you a dead wid lyrics
Ninja Man carried the grievance for Silverhawk until “mi write dem off a Skateland”, the infamous Bad Word Special delivering the killing blow. That track was first done for a sound system in Cockburn Pen named Angel, in preparation for a clash with Sherriff. When it was played, Ninja Man said, “di whole dance shoot up. gunshot like rice grain. When mi see whe it duh, mi voice it fi Jaro right away. An when Jaro use it an mash up Silverhawk, dem form line fi it a Jammys … . All now people want it”.

Namibians wearing Vellies (Shoes)
“Velskoen, pronounced “fell-skoon” and known colloquially as “vellies,” are the ancestor of the modern-day desert boot. Vellies were first made in the 1600s, inspired by the footwear of the Khoikhoi tribe and crafted using raw materials. Later, our vellies were adapted by British travellers, packaged and renamed to be what we now know as desert boots.
(Brother Vellies) are made in the coastal town of Swakopmund, Namibia. There, a small group of eight Damara gentlemen assemble every shoe by hand, turning out just 20 pairs an afternoon.
…Vellies are made of vegetable-dyed Kudu leather. The Namibian government mandates the culling of these large native antelope to control their population. Kudu skin yields amazingly durable leather and suede that ages exceptionally well. Because these hides are taken from wild animals they often show scars or other “imperfections” that domesticated hides do not.”
Desert Clarks are based off traditional Namibian footwear???
