    UK roots rock dub-oriented musical excursions all based on the theme of 'Brexit', the UK's referendum result which voted to leave the European Union in 2016 by an incredibly low margin. The decision has split the nation ever since and the Producer Winston Edwards of Studio 16 fame, has put together an exceptional one-off project which allows the musicians to vent their feelings in a positive musical way. Co-produced by Joe Ariwa AKA 'The Black Destroyer', who was an apprentice at Ariwa Studios under the watchful eye of none other than Mad Professor and played throughout by well-known UK session muicians in the reggae world. An essential addition to any modern reggae roots collection.

    Wicked reworks of vintage rhythms "I Need A Roof" "Forward On To Zion" "Pretty Looks" etc..
