LargeUp Audio: Top 10 Mama Dreadications For Mother's Day

Sunday is Mother's Day and nobody is more qualified to compile a playlist of mama-friendly sounds than the experienced selectors at LargeUp. Reggae artists Sizzla and Gyptian's famous dedications to their respective mummas may be familiar to many listeners but did you know badman Bounty Killer AKA "Mama Ivy's Last Son" loved his mother too. Just don't give moms too much background info about the 45s you're running, though, lest you wind up looking bad by comparison. Reggae revivalist Garnett Silk died in 1994 when he rushed back into a burning house in an attempt to save his mother's life. We don't recommend you try to top that one. Check Shinehead's reggaematical version of the Junior classic "Mama Used To Say" to get the general vibe, then hit the link below to enjoy the full list.
