Please select playlist name from following

Vaughn Benjamin recently passed away on November 4th under mysterious circumstances. He was very outspoken in is lyrics as being anti-Vatican. He always sang against the wicked beast system and warned about the New World Order. The substantial impact of Vaughn's music isn't quantified by record sales, radio play or industry awards but by the devoted following he amassed through his voluminous releases (72 albums, 61 as the band Midnite and 11 as the band Akae Beka) and his extensive touring non-stop for over 20 years.

David Hinds, lead vocalist, songwriter and guitarist of Steel Pulse recalled meeting Vaughn in St. Croix in the early 90s and thinking "Vaughn and his band were coming to ‘chant down Babylon' in a way that none of us reggae musicians have ever done before." Hinds expounded on that prescient observation. "Vaughn didn't follow trends and wasn't interested in making songs palatable for radio play or to move units, things that concern so many artists; Vaughn was focused on remaining non-commercial and I was mesmerized when I saw the huge organic following he had. Vaughn obviously saw that the spiritual and political essence reggae had when it was introduced to the world in the 1970s was disappearing so he was steadfast in producing no-sell out roots songs, a direct damage to the Babylon system that gave his listeners confidence that bad spirits will be kept at bay under his influence."
