Alkaline Drops New Badman Tune, ‘Cree’: Listen

The Vendetta Boss is here with another lyrical badman tune. The official audio for Alkaline’s new single Cree debuted this morning May 23rd on Apple Music and his YouTube page with credits to Country Hype Entertainment.

The single is streaming well with over 160K views since it’s release a few hours ago and is currently making its way to topping the charts, sitting at the #3 spot on the Popular Right Now – Jamaica YouTube chart.

Cree is a little less melodic than his recently released hit Nah Fi Like, which landed him at the #1 spot on YouTube’s Trending in Jamaica, as well as Apple Music’s top songs in the Reggae category. While the two pieces are styled similarly, Nah Fi Like was tinged with direct Vybz Kartel disses, which ultimately spiked up the streams.

Cree, on the other hand, is a commendable composition of wit and stirring verses carried out with the Vendetta Boss’s effortless knack for deejaying. Alkaline’s slick spitting of smooth rhymes could make it easy to miss some of his inventive idioms and catchphrases, but also makes you wonder if there are any limits to his badness.

From the get-go, the Nah Fi Like deejay gets into some twisted verses, “War cyaa bawl cree, tell craft man say we full a technique. Me make him feel like say we good and den a R.I.P. Show up a dem nine-night caah we heart clean…”

If attending one’s wake after murdering them isn’t sinister enough, the deejay also talks about bussing his gun and praising the Lord. Comparing his net worth to local millionaire Josef Bogdanovich, he makes it known that he’s also pretty loaded and uses it to his advantage. The High Props deejay does what he pleases when carrying out his murderous exploits, like acquiring tracking devices to sabotage his opponent even in his’ own place’.

Then to demonstrate how he unleashes his attack, he verses his lyrical killing tactics. “Like switch, duppy bat a flick, nuh do di bagga lip, nuh chattin and argue put shot in a dome (head)…bullet a sen unno home.”

Also, “Man go circle pon dem block watch head a open punganot (pomegranate)” and “Aim and squeeze shot a chop him body up inna fifty piece”, painting such a graphic sight for his listeners.

Then he drops another expressive and thought-provoking verse approaching the end, “Rubber pon di grip, me press it up send dem a cemetery, poof dem disappear only ting leff a just di memory.”
