Two West Kingston-based labels, Liv Up Records and Yardlife Records, will release the 'Grind' rhythm as a tribute to those who lost their lives during the unrest in the Corporate Area and St Catherine last month.

The rhythm was created earlier this year by both labels and is scheduled for release this week. However, it will not be available for downloads until next month.

Speaking with THE STAR yesterday, producer Oneil 'Coco' Coke from Liv Up Records, said, "it is a tribute to the people weh lose dem life during the unrest, not just people from Tivoli."

He said it was only appropriate to use this song as a tribute to the deceased and those mourning.

"Some of the songs kinda speak to that. It a relate to this whole thing that has happened. The loss of one life is too much, so just imagine so many," he told THE STAR.

"And being that our music originate from west Kingston and a desso wi come from, we see it fit to offer it as a tribute."

He said the medley video for the rhythm will be ready by next week and will show clips of what took place during the unrest.

"It is not a high-budget video, but something to complement the nice songs from the rhythm," Coke said.

Unlike previous rhythms, Coke said 'Grind' does not have many songs on it. There is Delus' Unruly, Munga's Gone So Soon, Angele Smith's Come Over Now, Kiprich's Maama Man and Fyakin's In These Streets.

"We only did five songs 'cause we have 'Money Tree' rhythm wi have dis bag of songs, so wi did a pree a much smaller catalogue and wi did a pree some artistes weh wi nuh really work with," he told THE STAR.

However, Coke said there is a possibility that about two more tracks will be put on the rhythm.

In the meantime, Coke said he is yet to return to the studio for work, as the vibe is different and people are still mourning.
