Throwback Thursday

Patra feat. Yo-Yo - Romantic Call


Notes: 1. Reggae videos from this era really exposed the world to dancehall choreography and movement vocabulary, truly impactful work. 2. This song/video captures the natural relationship between dancehall and hip hop. We know there were influences from the infancy of hip hop, but seeing the collaboration here, makes it more palpable. Gyals whinin', 6-4s and motorcycles--classic! 3. The tune is dope, hip hop inspired riddim with a great narrative to boot. Patra is in full form: raw, fly and unapologetic. 4. TUPAC is in the video!! Nuff said.
