#AOTM137: Yellowman – Lost Mi Love

28th May 2015WORDS: Jago

The classic ‘Lost Mi Love’ on Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes’s ‘Dirty Harry‘ riddim is full of everything that is essential in a Yellowman record. Crammed with slackness and humour, this record even shows a softer side of Yellowman: “Jesus Christ, sounds reasonable!”

In this song we hear how he temporarily lost his girl to another boss deejay. Perhaps the below quote sums up what he put into the mixing pot when he came up with the lyrics for this song. “They used to say I was full of slackness, but I didn’t really care about what they said, I mixed everything together and added some drama to it.”

Big up King Yellowman!
