LP’s FANATICS | LIVE - “Psalm 49” by Prince Far I.

Lowering the tonearm on pure 1976 dread pressure. Known as the Voice of Thunder, Prince Far I delivers a heavy, righteous psalm over a rock-solid Roots groove that hits just as hard today as it did nearly five decades ago. Pure, unadulterated vinyl culture.

This morning, Kingston Creative was honoured to hold a special mural viewing at the mural “Cry Tuff, Tribute to Prince Far I,” created by veteran reggae artiste Junior Moore of The Tamlins and his brother Hudson Moore.
Family members, musicians, and producers gathered to celebrate Prince Far I’s cultural impact, including his wife Carolla Williams, along with reggae icons Flabba Holt and Leggo.
This moment also honoured the global community that has preserved his legacy for over 20 years, from the early archive at princefari.com launched by Romano Kasteel to the continued work of Anthony Privitera, and the formation of @princefariofficial with his daughter Andrea Williams.

💛 Special thanks to the Fans of Prince Far I, whose dedication and love made this tribute possible.
