White Mice - Youths of Today (7")

White Mice – Youths of Today [Reissue]

A crucial reissue from Basic Replay, unearthing the heavy, ahead-of-its-time digital dancehall of White Mice - Montego Bay’s unsung microphone general. Rising through Sugar Minott’s Youthman Promotions and Jammy’s Hi Power, White Mice hit peak recognition in the mid-80s, only to slip into near-myth. These tracks - originally released via his brother Blemo’s Miami-based Intelitec label - capture a pre-slackness, post-roots moment when reggae was rewiring itself with digital energy. Think militant riddims, conscious lyrics, and subtle echoes of electro and early hip-hop. Long-lost, now rightfully restored.
