the wisdom that he is pushing forward. He is helping
the youth of South Africa and all over Africa to
attain the dreams, to attain progress, to attain success. And

(02:34):
ain't that all we want for the youth? You feel
me with this revolution? Every reggae album here it is
off the chain straight like that. I got nothing else
to say other than that. So we're gonna be reviewing
you here. But before we get started, after you hit
that light following subscribe. But I just want to talk

(02:55):
to y'all real quick. I just really want to talk
to y'all real quick, because this is something I feel
is needed to be said, especially in the light of
the murder of Charlie Kirk. Now, I want to go
on record and say I was not a fan of his,
like anything he said, So I stopped listening to him.

(03:18):
I stopped giving him the time of day. I didn't
even though he was as big as he was, I
did not notice. I just thought he was a dude
that went to colleges and debated with people. But in
his efforts to debate with people and his efforts to
spread his opinions and the propaganda that he was spreading,
somebody unlived him. Now Let'm just here to say that

(03:40):
was not the smartest idea, that was it. And I
know we celebrating and we think it is all good
and grand and great and all that it is not.
And let me explain to you why, besides the fact
that a man lost his life over a difference of opinion,
because he felt a certain way about a certain certain situations,

(04:04):
certain issues, he lost his life because of that. And
I don't believe anybody should lose their life because of
a difference of opinion. I would die on my heel,
but I'm not.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I don't hope.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I hope my opinions don't offend you enough to want
to kill me. You feel me? So would that be said?
Let me tell you the real reason why it was
a horrible, horrible mistake to kill that man. We forget
that that man has children, and I know what you're thinking.
He was He wasn't a Christian, he wasn't he was

(04:35):
a piece of shit. He was trashed. The children are
better off without him, and no, no, no no, And
that's the end of your thought about the children. Right
m Well, let me break something down to you. You
feel me. See what you just did was you just
made this man a martyr. And yeah, he's gone. He

(04:56):
can't speak anymore. He will be buried shortly and his
body with decay, and ain't we go back to the earth.
But his voice, his voice is on plenty of platforms plenty,
and it item being on plenty of platforms. He's all
platforms for people that love him. These are all platforms

(05:17):
for people who just push content, and he's all platforms
of people who hate this man. I'm not understanding why
you would give platform to anybody you hate. But let's
keep going. His children have been listening to him since
the day there was born, and they are going to
miss his voice. So that's what they're gonna do. They're

(05:38):
gonna go to each of these platforms just to hear
their father speak. When they hear their father speak, they're
gonna hear the words. They're gonna listen to his ideas,
they're gonna get his thoughts and his opinions, and they're
gonna say, my father was killed because of these opinions. Hmm,

(05:59):
maybe my father is onto something. I need to pick
up the mantle and I need to keep fighting the fight.
You see, how you may have gotten rid of one
Charlie Kirk, but you have created two more at the
very least. I don't know how many kids this man has.
I just know he has kids out, so that means

(06:20):
at least two. So you may have gotten rid of one,
but you just created two. And they have a martyr.
That is their strength, their backbone. I'm just talking about
the children. I'm not even talking about to the people
that actually believed in him, or the people that didn't

(06:40):
even know about him until today or until that date.
I'm talking about we just made a mountain out of
a mole heel. We let one man get up under
ice skin so much that you created two more of them.
At the very least, I'm not understanding the said I

(07:03):
don't understand the concept of that. I don't understand why
y'all would do that, but you did it. So with that,
beings said, you should have never killed Charlie Kirk because
all you did was made him a martyr. That's it.
Now we are going to get back to what we
came here, foe. You feel me and what we came

(07:24):
here foe was some great music. And with this music,
I hope that we can erase this hatred and push love, truth, peace,
just as in freedom. This is how you change the
minds on bigots, if they minds can be changed. I
don't choose. I choose not to change a biggots mind.

(07:47):
It's not worth my time. I'm more like done, daughter.
Why would I waste my time on these grown folks
that are setting their ways when it's all these children
out here that need is this knowledge. So without further ado,
let's get it going with Don Dallas e p.

Now, anybody who knows how to put together an album
and the EP, you already know that. You just don't
pick songs to throw them on there. You know you
gotta put them in such a storytelling mode that people
can feel it every track. You don't want nobody to
hit skip on your track when you when they listen
into your album, because if they hit skip on your track,

(14:37):
that the album just got that more devalue. Do you

(21:08):
Don't fall in love with that kind of danger you
feel me? Yes, That's what I'm talking about. Done Data
done it again?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Now?

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Done Data has been He's always been a revolutionary artist always,
and not just revolutionary behind in the studio, He's always
been revolutionary in the streets as well.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
He actually puts in work, he takes care or he
creates initiatives and takes care of the youth. Like I
was telling earlier in South Africa, he helps them to
attain success that wouldn't be normally given to them. So
you know, we look at it, We look at that
a lot, and we look at these cultures a lot,
and we have so much to say negative about him,

(21:50):
so much criticism about him, but nobody's actually given any
credence or even giving them credit for what they're doing,
or even helping them to attain what they're trying to attain.
So it's like, wait, you're not gonna help him while
you're talking bad about him, while you're talking to them.
What's what's this about? You feel? I feel like when

(22:11):
it comes to certain when it comes to our children,
if we do not step up for them, then we
cannot chastise them when they step out of line.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
You just have to let that be you.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
You wasn't there to show them the right way. But
don daughter, he is actually out there picking up the slack. Well,
a lot of us are not real talk, a lot
of us aren't picking up the slack, picking up our slack.
So he's picking up a slack force by going out
there and uh giving them opportunities that they would never

(22:43):
have had in the first place. So love talking to
him about this. So definitely go check out his interviews.
Like I was saying, go check out all of his
interviews here on Reggae Yo. Well, he talks about different
initiatives of every interview, every interview, every time I have
him on, he has something new that he's doing for
the children. And I have nothing but respect for that,

(23:05):
nothing but respect for that. So with that being said,
I'm always going to have a place on this platform
for dun Data and his music, and anybody who would
like to work with dun Data after hearing his music,
definitely get reached out to us. He's trying to He's
definitely going to come over here to the United States.
He's been traveling all over Africa and all of certain

(23:28):
parts of the world and stuff, so he would love
to be able to come over here to the United
States and bless us with some of his music, with
live performances and things of that nature. So y'all make

Now we're gonna keep it moving though We're gonna Dundatta
keeps it going. He keeps it going with the revolution.
He keeps going, pushing you to do what you need
to do enough to be able to make it out,
but at the same time bring awareness to what's going on.
And in this track, Love, Respect and Care. Track three
feature in Becaninni Here Dundata joins forces with Becaninni, flending horns,

(24:33):
gospel soul and reggae Upliftman with lyrics like give them
the freedom they after, let the people be, they don't
need no master. There's some strong words right there. And
I wonder if the oppressors are listening. I know they listening,
but I wonder if they listening.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
You feel me.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
I wonder if they are ready to make a change,
ready to give up that power that they have over us.
But I don't think so. Babylon doesn't easy, but it
is falling because they can't stand your's kingdom. You feel
me seriously like that. So without any further ado, we

Why did you say that?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
And then.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Like I said, but this is it had a playful
bye to a bo The beat, simple beat, but yet
it's catchy. Get your groove into it, you feel me?
And like I said, did you hear the lyrics? The
man is a storyteller, very great storyteller man, and he
ain't giving up on it either. I love how he
continues to portray for excuse me to push uh, the

(34:18):
skill of the talent of storytelling. You know it's not
a lost art. There's an artist out here that know
how to tell a great story. We just been caught
up in the mainstream simple simplistic music, and he was
able to put it together with a simple, simplistic song.

(34:38):
At the same time, it is death at it. You know,
he told the story. You can visualize, you know, you
know how that especially us that's over the age of thirty.
You know, we ran into somebody, we went to high
school with and we didn't talk to that person in
high school. But it turns out that we should have
talked to that person in high school. So it's definitely

(35:03):
a big uh right here. It touched over. It took
me into a very very nostalgic place at to say
the least. I mean, it was a beautiful, beautiful piece,
beautiful piece by Don Data high school on his EP
for We continue. That's track number four. So if you

(35:24):
look at you go and you do download this off
of Apple or Amazon Music or wherever you stream your
music at you you want to go, it's track Foux
Baby track Fox hitting art. Ah. Now tell me something, man,
who is it that you had a crush on or
who you found out later how to crush on you

(35:44):
and you was like, well, why didn't you just make
your move? Anybody been through that? It's so man, go
into comments section to tell me all about it. I
want to hear exactly how uh that story went down?
And what did you do when you find out that
you could have probably been with that person or you
probably had a crush on that person and didn't want
to didn't talk to them just to find out that
they wished you were to talk to them, and now

(36:06):
they married with two kids with some dude or some
woman that they didn't want to be with in the
first place. It happens, Trust me, it happens more than
you think. More do you think? And if you got
a story about that, go ahead and drop it here
in the comment section so we could talk about it
with you. You feel me. I know, I know I've
been there. I actually tell mine I was on Facebook

(36:26):
when it first came out Facebook two thousand, It had
to be two thousand and six, seven eight something like that. Randika,
I'm in Texas at the time. You know, I'm from Atlanta,
you know, I said, I went to school in Atlanta
and stuff. So Texas at the time, and I get
on Facebook and automatically it starts, hey do you know
this person? And I'm like, I ain't seen these people
in years. I know at this time, it had to

(36:47):
be like seven years since I graduated or I was
supposed to graduate, and uh, you know, so it's been
some time since I saw these people. I was like,
let me reach out to them, and I reached out
to list shot it that I actually and Jerika evercombery.
I reached out to it and we was talking, and
it turns out we had a connection. We had a

(37:08):
deep connection, and we could have done something in high school,
but since I was all the way in Texas and
she was still in Atlanta, we couldn't. We couldn't do
what we wanted to do. So that's my story, you
feel me, So what's your story? How did it go
down for you? And did you actually end up getting
them or did you have to keep on moving because
they moved on with their life already? You feel we
hit that comment section already. Next track on it is

(37:32):
track number five. He returns with the rebel energy and
social message. Da goes full Rostafarian revolutionary, spitting truths about poverty, unemployment, corruption,
and the spirit killing off the youth. Like he says
in his album Frustration, it is killing off the youth.

(37:53):
So uption, Yes, it's killing off the youth. I not
even need a gun, even need to shoot. That's a
powerful lyrics right there, that shows you right there that
we can be dead before we hit the crown, before
we hit the grave. We could be dead for years
simply because of their frustration, the corruption, and so much

(38:17):
more so, I'm so glad he had this. It's a
sharp and direct, unflinching rebel music in its purest form,
and I'm so happy that he dropped it. So let's
check it out here on BO West. That's Radio Babby.

He'll they know the youth, man, look at it. That's
social message, man, they're sociue message. Man, that's a real
social message. Why are we not paying attention to the youth?
Why are we not? Why are we playing with the
people who are playing with our emotions and not We're

(42:26):
not setting up a future for our youth. They're killing them.
They're laying dead in the streets. They're tricking them into poverty,
They're tricking them into so much turmoil. The oppression is real.
Why are we not seeing this? Why do we not
see this? Because we are lying or we choose not to,

(42:52):
and that's not the way they live. It's not you
shouldn't be living like that. I shouldn't be living like that.
I do not want to live like that. I want
to live in peace, love, truth, justice and freedom.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
I want to live.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Stead that killing off the youth, That daughter couldn't have
said it any better. They don't. They don't even need
a gun. They don't even need to shoot. They put
a plan in motion. They built systems that can do
the job for them while they go off and enjoy

(43:30):
the rest of their lives. They have mastered what we
are refusing to even acknowledge. They have taken our knowledge
and use it against us. So why are we not
fighting more?

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (43:51):

So please hit that light follow and subscribe button represent
for reggae y'avi supporters so we can continue reggae great
musical reviews like this straight to your ears. We got
you on that trust, that trust that no but posing
out the project. Loyalty is a fusion of hip hop dance,

(45:25):
all in reggae grit. It's the six track on the
album and it sits for a reason. Done Dotta reflects
on betrayal in Fake Friends, and we already know that
sis is the number of man. God would never turn
his back on you. The most high y'all will never

(45:46):
leave you stranded. He will always be loyal to you
if you're loyal to him. But man, man, oh man,
do they can they will? That's something that we have
to understand. Man is fallible. Loyalty is very thin when

(46:09):
it's done. Data said, man, you can't trust many everywhere
in your friend to you don't have plenty. It's a
sobering reality check. This is survival music for anyone who
has ever been burned, because they can understand the message

(46:32):
that he is portraying. And until we can fix this
loyalty problem, this suppression is only gonna get worse. The
suppression is only gonna be It's already a normalcy. It's
a norm of life, of everyday life. We have gotten
so used to it that when we go to other countries,
or we go to anywhere else where they don't have

(46:52):
they knee on our neck, we're then like there's something
wrong with them, when in all actuality, we have suffered
from Stockholm syndrome. So this is why we need to
be loyal to not only ourselves, but to our brothers
and sisters of any race who see the turmoil, who

(47:13):
see the oppression and fight against it on our behalf.
Anybody who is part of this fight I have love
and respect for, and I have the back one hundred
percent because they're fighting the fight that I'm fighting, and
I know they got my back one hundred percent. That

(47:34):
is so much. Whenever you have your tribe, or when
tribes come together and they show that lawyer to you.
You feel me, so let's get it on with tracks
sits on this wonderful album. You heard me, bos says
radio baby.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Everyone smile and pretend, but they passed out friendly you

Speaker 3 (49:30):
They have done.

Speaker 5 (49:32):

brus the salad.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
We know working. So I say you've reap what you sow.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
What I'm talking about? Right there?

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Boy?

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Don god da done it again? Baby. This hits on
every point, every piece of knowledge that is out there.
We have to we gotta give it his respect. You
do you do now before we continue, that data shows
why he stands as a voice for the people. Every

(50:26):
track weaves together roots, reggae traditions, African consciousness, and modern
hip hop swagger. This is a bridge across generations and genres,
a project that both timeless and urgent at the same time.
How did he pull that off? Well, only a great
artist can do that. So from international stages like Bob

(50:49):
Marley's seventy five Get Your Fire celebration, say drassroots movements
across South Africa, Don Daughter's mission remains the same. He aspires,
uplifts and his speech truth into power. I have to
I have to give him as props I do because

(51:09):
not only has he put out music that is punching
for a change, and we are actually witnessing a change
in Africa. I hope it bleeds over to the rest
of the ASPRA and if Black Americans don't want to
be a part of it, hey, I wish y'all the

(51:31):
best of luck on your your fight. We do hope
that you achieve your the progress that you are fighting for,
because if you're free, we're all free. So we're fighting
become free because if we get free, you're free. Because
I know you don't believe you're Africans, and that's okay.

(51:53):
That's okay. A lot of y'all are indigenous to the Americas.
A lot of y'all do have blood lines that started
in America.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
You do.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
I've been teaching y'all that for a long time. A
revolutionary hour, but the fact that the matter is, we're
still the same people. This was not just one land,
it was one culture as well. I mean, you could
look at it and you could tell. But that's for
revolutionary hour, y'all. Make sure y'all go find that on

(52:24):
all streaming services as well. We'll go ahead and kicked
out how that popping. But back to dun Daters for
We Continue. You can listen to it on any streaming service,
but you definitely want to go to his website at
Dondotter music dot com. Just put in Don dott of music.
You're gonna find him on Instagram, TikTok.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
And Twitter.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
He's even on Facebook. So y'all make sure that y'all
tune in, turn up, and zone out because Don Daughters
for What We Continue is not just the EP, it's
a statement. This is music for the heart, the streets,
the struggle. It's like since tracks, a straight truth, fire
and uplifting it. This is the sound of Africa's future.

(53:10):
This is ruths, reality and revolution, the real three rs
before we continue, and you just got to review and
get with me here on bos, says radio's Reggaeau. I
know you already went to your favorite streaming services and
liked it and put it in your in your streaming playlist.

(53:32):
I know you loved it that much, So make sure
that you share this now to your family and friends.
They want to they want to jam too. They want
to be able to get this music and and and
and just get the message. Because what everybody gets the message,
then everybody is winning. You feel me. We're all on
the same page then. And I believe Dundata he wrote

(53:53):
this book very very well, very well, So make sure
y'all go ahead and find them, follow them, light subscribe,
stream them, do what you gotta do to support him
so that he can be able to continue making music
like this and continue making endeavors in his not just
his own country, but abroad as well for the youth,

(54:14):
so that the future can be changed, because it is
it's already changing. I love where it's going to I was.
I was kind of worried at first, but now I
see it and I think we're gonna be all right.
So you already know what it is.
