Jacob Miller Lives Forever

Grammy winning, Bad Boys of Reggae, Inner Circle team up with Reggae Revival’s superstar Chronixx for the anticipated music video “Tenement Yard (News Carrying Dread).”

“Dreadlocks can’t live in a tenement yard ~ too much watchie watchie watchie, too much su-su su-su su”

In Jamaica, a tenement yard is a shanty town or Jamaican ghetto. The lyrics explain why Rasta need more freedom from people watching their every move and chatting their business.

Jacob Miller and Inner Circle originally recorded this big classic tune ‘Tenement Yard’ in 1976.

Reggae Instrumental ‘Tenement Yard Riddim’




Jacob Miller was the lead vocalist for Inner Circle, and the band flourished with Miller‘s humorous antics and vocals. Tragically, Miller met in an untimely car accident in 1980 which took his life. Inner Circle and Chronixx pay tribute to the late, great Jacob ‘killer’ Miller with the release of the music video “Tenement Yard.”

It is the latest collaboration by the band and a new-wave reggae artiste. Inner Circle, formed in 1968, recently did songs with deejay I-Octane and singjay Khago. Roger Lewis, Inner Circle‘s co-founder and guitar player, says working with contemporary reggae acts is their way of reaching out to a new generation.

Recorded at the Channel One studio, the original Tenement Yard featured Roger Lewis on guitar, his brother Ian on bass and Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith on guitar and drummer Leroy ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace.

Tenement Yard was among a number of hit songs the burly Miller recorded with Inner Circle. He was still their frontman at the time of his death, at age 27, in an auto accident in 1980.



Inner Circle‘s success is also attributed to the broadening of their professional skills, creating a complex called ‘Circle House.’
