Nairobi Sisters – Promised Land (7" Vinyl)
Nairobi Sisters – Promised Land (7" Vinyl) is a highly sought-after roots reggae classic reissued on beautiful 7-inch vinyl, bringing back one of the most revered and sample-worthy cuts from Jamaica’s golden era of reggae production. Originally recorded by Terrie Nairobi and the legendary Judy Mowatt — later a member of Bob Marley’s I-Threes — this deep, soulful recording remains a prized favourite among reggae collectors, DJs and hip hop producers alike.
Built around an irresistibly laid-back groove and hypnotic rhythm section, Promised Land became especially famous after being sampled by Q-Tip and appearing across numerous golden-era hip hop productions. The stripped-back dub version on the flip further highlights the track’s heavy bassline, spacious production and timeless studio craftsmanship, showcasing the influence of Brooklyn-based Flames Records and producer Winston Jones.
Reissued by Death Is Not The End sub-label 333, this edition faithfully revives an essential piece of reggae history for a new generation of vinyl collectors. Perfect for fans of roots reggae, dub, rare groove and sample culture, Promised Land is an essential 7-inch release packed with deep rhythm, soulful vocals and classic sound system energy.
