HOTTT New Reggae! Andrae Carter - In This World

As the fall season comes upon us, and we spend a little more time indoors, world reflection (and self reflection by extension) becomes a focus.  Andrae Carters new song “In This World,” produced by Notice Productions encourages that reflection in a way you will appreciate!

Performed to the melodic one drop riddim called Heart & Soul, Andrae’s lyrics draws us in as he sings “Life is a journey with lots of signs / sometimes surprises they blow your mind / so beware / and if you don’t listen to the prophecies / you’ll end up in places you don’t wanna be / beware …

Andrae’s voice is one we need to take seriously.  In addition to singing, Andrae toured the world with Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley and Nas on the Distant Relatives tour as lead guitarist.  He did that for 4 years.  Andrae is also a member of the group Further Notice.  Believe me when I tell you, this young man has a serious arsenal of music that will be coming to you over the next few months, and will be performed on a stage near you and your listeners beginning in the spring of 2013.
