Dudus Music

These guys have released a song about the Don man, Christopher Dudus Coke aka the President, still wanted by the US on gun and drug trafficking charges.

Read the this blog post and this blog post for more background info on Dudus.

So the twins in the song are saying they are sticking up for the poor people who live in the Kingston ghetto of Tivoli Gardens, according to an interview in the Star.

But looking at the lyrics below, it seems to me that this is a song in support of Dudus, trying to downplay his importance as a criminal, questioning the extradition order as more of a death warrant – which may be the case as there must be men who want to kill Dudus in prison, and that the Americans should waste their time looking for Bin Laden instead.  hmmm not the most informative of social commentaries.

“Which Dudus dem a talk?/ A Couldn’t di president/ The man set the order downtown/ so how all of a sudden government a come frown/ Like dem tek Garden man dem fi clown/ A wonder if dem know what kind of don dem a talk?/ A nuh Don Corleon or Leroy Smart.”

“Think a road dem ago block when the thing start/ From dem seh prezzy might as well dem seh coffin/ It look like dem waan overcrowd down a Madden/ A how dem a look fi Dudus and dem caan find Bin Laden.”
