Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives (Stream + Tracklist): Jah-pril 21, 2018: 420 Vinyl Cannabliss!

Greetings,

What is 420?

<The 420 story;  60 sec.>

Last week’s Digital Dubplate upload to Mixcloud – 420 was Smile Jamaica‘s biggest 1 week streamcast in the 5 years of the Digital Ark-ive. Over 275 people dialed in and burned one down!

So I want to see if I ‘n’ I can replicate that this week with the 420 Broadcast version on KRCL – ALL VINYL

Plenty of Cannabis History Lessons to learn and enjoy as burn and enjoy.

And in case you think I ‘n’ I are biased (9 down, 41 to go!), I also present the other side. The haters and cops who hate the Seven Leaf

<Smoke marijuana and DIE!; 29 sec.>

Law enforcement hate April 20th

So enjoy this 420 mashup until it’s 50 down, zero to go!

bless, Bobbylon
