Mr. Hurry Come Up / Spliff Haffi Burn

"Mr. Hurry Come Up" by Black Am I is a powerful roots reggae track that speaks to relentless social issues. Black Am I uses his smooth and commanding voice to deliver a message about the dangers of rushing through life for quick success without putting in the hard work. The lyrics are reflective and thought-provoking, offering a critique of those who cut corners to get ahead, only to fall short in the long run.

Black Am I hails from Nine Miles, the birth town of the reggae legen Bob Marley. He emerged around 2010 and has since been associated with Damian Marley's label Ghetto Youths International.
