LargeUp TV: The Toppa Top 20 Weed Anthems for 4/20, Pt. 1 (Hosted by Carlton Livingston)

April 18, 2013

Words by Jesse Serwer, Photos and Video by Jason Zucker—

If you know your smokers’ anthems, you know Carlton Livingston. The St. Mary-born, Kingston-raised singer is responsible for one of reggae’s biggest weed tunes ever, “100 Weight of Collie Weed.” And he’s got more where that came from: his “Trodding Through the Jungle” made an appearance on our Toppa Top 10 Slept-On Weed Anthems for 4/20 last year, too. After catching up with Carlton at last month’s Rice and Peas party, we brought him over to the The Kennel Recording Studio in Brooklyn to count down our Toppa Top 20 Weed Anthems for 4/20.

Leave it to our inimitable Mixtape Mondays columnist Deejay Theory to set the summer off proper. Just in time for BBQ season, he’s just dropped a “Summa Pack” of DJ-friendly remixes on us, featuring brand-new reworkings of Bob Marley’s “Could You Be Loved,” Santana’s “Black Magic Woman” and an unlikely pairing of JC Lodge’s “Someone Loves You Honey” and raps from those amorous Panabaynians, Los Rakas.
