Bunny Wailer’s gripes with Snoop Dogg/Snoop Lion and his representation of Rastafari culture have become a hot topic recently, even making gossip website TMZ. “Fire will bun fi him,” the site suggested—props on your patois, Harvey—if Snoop doesn’t make things right with Bunny and the Rastafari Millennium Council, which has also aired grievances with Snoop and his Vice-produced Reincarnated documentary—and asked him to stop calling himself “Lion.”

Just one week after the underwhelming “Here Comes the King,” the guy now calling himself Snoop Lion has unleashed the most interesting track thus far from his Reincarnated project. And he’s brought some notable guests from the dancehall world to “Lighters Up,” namely the Gully Gad Mavado, and Popcaan. Though unbilled, Jahdan Blakkamoore (who co-wrote “Lighters”) also lends his vocals to the track.

Jahdan Blakkamoore, easily the hottest artist making reggae outside Jamaica right now–and one of the hottest, period–just premiered his new video “All Comes Back to One” on the FADER blog. It’s a definitive return to his one drop roots that hardcore JD fans will remember fondly from songs he put down with his group Noble Society–not surprising since it’s produced by longtime brother Andrew “Moon” Bain of Lustre Kings production house, who’s been working with Blakkamoore since the Noble S days (the two also co-wrote the wicked “Cash Flow” joint for the Major Lazer project). As it happens both JD and Bain are good friends of LARGE UP and the video is also produced by a bredren of the blog; Amir Ebrahimi of Metric9 productions. Which just goes to show you that real bredren do real things! Watch after the jump:
