FIGHT THE FIRE: DIGITAL REGGAE, CONSCIOUS ROOTS AND DUB IN NIGERIA 1986-91 by VARIOUS ARTISTS

2LP gatefold package features essay by Louis Chude-Sokei, author of “Dr. Satan’s Echo Chamber”.

A collection of fourteen digital reggae, deep roots and dub rarities from the Nigerian underground, spotlighting a time when Jamaican reggae entwined with Nigerian styles, politics and consciousness, creating a bridge between Lagos and Kingston.
Fight the Fire is a companion piece to Soundway's seminal  “Doing it in Lagos” and “Nigeria Special” compilations, celebrating the innovation and musical experimentation of Nigeria in the 80s. 

Features rare tracks from key figures of the time including Oby Onyioha (with a crucial Burning Spear cover) and Orits Williki
