Wailing Souls feat. Alborosie - Shark Attack [Official Video 2020]

⏩ SUBSCRIBE  ✅ Log on 🔔 GET NOTIFIED about new videos! Taken from the Wailing Souls’ Back A Yard album, produced by Alborosie, “Shark Attack” updates the Souls’ 1992 hit reggae recording, originally a commentary on capitalist exploitation and the ‘new world order’ phrase buzzing at the time. In the original video, the exploiter was a manipulative ‘shark’ with a sketchy briefcase full of loot. For the new recording, Alborosie crafted additional lyrics of street level exploitation in Jamaica, and animator Jenille Brown reimagined the shark as a record producer, extending the concept into the sphere of cultural appropriation.
