Augustus Pablo’s “King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown” Featured In “How To Make A Killing” Film


How has it been movie lovers? What’s the new screening that you’re obsessed with? Recently, Movie Studio A24 released their latest Film, “How To Make A Killing“. Directed by John Patton Ford, the Film stars Glen Powell as a Man who was disowned by his wealthy family at birth, and plots ways to get what is deserved to him, even if it means taking out some family members in the process. The Film features a mix of new and old music of various genres, but a familiar sound from Jamaica could be heard in a scene.

During a scene in the Film, “How To Make A Killing”, the familiar sound of a Melodica played by Musician/Producer Augustus Pablo could be heard along with some Reggae/Dub production. What was heard was Augustus Pablo’s “King Tubby Meets Uptown Rockers” from 1974. The Dub version of Jacob Miller’sBaby I Love You So” which was produced by Pablo, was a collaboration between Pablo and King Tubby who was the Mixing Engineer. The track was released a number of times including through the Mango Label, as a B-Side to Jacob Miller’s single, and later through Island Records. It was also featured on the 1976 album of the same name. The track was previously featured in Grand Theft Auto 4, and is Rolling Stone Magazine’sTop 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time“.

“How To Make A Killing” is out now.

First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Errol Dunkley – Black Cinderella (1972)


Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Reggae Musician, Errol Dunkley. Titled “Black Cinderella“, this was produced by Jimmy Rodway for Fe Me Time Records in 1972. Errol considered it a tribute to hard working black women, but it sounded more like a love song than the aforementioned idea. The creation for this came about when Jimmy introduced Errol to one of his poems of the same name. After some adjustments, Errol recorded the single and it immediately became a hit in a time of Black Empowerment.
