Terry Lynn - Kingstonlogic 2.0Legendary Jamaican producer Coxsone Dodd calls her “the true voice of the street.” Her view of life in Kingston’s Waterhouse ghetto where she grew up is unvarnished. Avoiding the island’s dancehall riddims, Lynn, like a Caribbean M.I.A., sets her stark message about drugs, poverty, gang violence and the International Monetary Fund to a thrilling electroclash beat. But she’s also a voice of hope from the underground, decrying the wicked forces on “The Most High” and the Rasta hymn “Rivers of Babylon.”
