<p>Straight from the Island of <span class="small grey-text">Jamaica are Linval Thompson, Addis Pablo, and Danzky with a fresh reggae track. The track, titled &#8220;</span>Be Free (Manilla) &#8211; main theme<span class="small grey-text">&#8221; has an authentic reggae groove to it. It&#8217;s impossible to not appreciate the instrumentation and vocal delivery on this song. Each part of the production on this track serves a purpose and was clearly well thought out. The song flows perfectly. The song comes from a recently released EP titled &#8220;Manilla &#8211; Riddim&#8221;, which is a collaboration between the three artists. The EP also features an instrumental version of the track. </span>The song features incredible percussion and even a beautiful horn section. It&#8217;s definitely a song that will get the crowd swaying in a heartbeat. The song has a very chill feel to it but the lyrics are political and speak about being oppressed. The song is a plea for peace. The song could serve as a theme song for people to come together or even a song that can be used to make people feel more understanding to each other.</p>
