Poor Man’s Friend Records proudly welcomes the legendary Sylford Walker to the label with a powerful roots debut single: “They Don’t Know.”
True to form, this track delivers exactly what you'd expect — and crave — from one of reggae’s most iconic and unmistakable Rasta voices. A heavily saturated drum and bass groove sets the foundation, locked tight with a tough, swung Nyahbinghi section. The rhythm is sparse but deeply textured, featuring carefully placed guitars, percussion, and saxophone that leave room for the message to breathe.
Low in tempo but loaded with low-end weight, “They Don’t Know” is a roots statement that resonates. Fans of classic conscious anthems like “Babylonians,” “Chant Down Babylon,” and “Africa Homeland” will find themselves right at home.
A heavyweight One Drop. A voice of experience. A message for the times.
