For centuries, the dragons have been sleeping. But in their rest, they provide a crucial energy source necessary to keep the planet Toon Flats habitable. Amphet Dahl is a diviner, gifted with the ability to sense the dragons’ dreams and memories and to the disappointment of her son, Afton, she uses this ability to Behind The Wheel River Bottom Mud Junkies This track is a collaborative effort that began with Aaron Kayson’s original chord progression, vocal melody, and lyrics. From there, the rest of us added our own creative touches - Eric with his dynamic bass line, Ryan bringing in his rhythmic drum composition and backing vocals, and Justin contributing additional guitar layers, backing vocals, and production touches. Together, we recorded, mixed, and mastered the song, creating a sound that reflects the full spirit of our combined artistry. “How Yuh Treat Yuh Inner State” Daniel Ray How Yuh Treat Yuh Inner State is a soul-steadying roots-reggae meditation on the true foundation of success: the state of your inner world.Daniel Ray brings warm vocals, deep wisdom, and golden-mystic energy to remind listeners that real elevation doesn’t begin with talent, luck, or perfect discipline — it begins with self-awareness.The track flows over a calming yet powerful reggae groove as Daniel sings about watching your emotions, checking your mind, breathing before reacting, and choosing the thought that feels clean — not forced, not fake, just aligned.It’s a song that teaches you:✔ Your inner state is your steering wheel✔ Alignment beats hustle✔ Consistency beats chaos✔ And success is built from the inside-out, not the outside-inThis is reggae therapy. Reggae grounding. Reggae evolution.A sound to realign you. A message to awaken you.A reminder that the person who pays attention to their inner world becomes unstoppable in the outer one. “STAY HUMBLE” Daniel Ray “Stay Humble” by Daniel Ray is a deep-rooted reggae meditation reminding the world that life moves in cycles.Today you might stand tall, tomorrow you might fall — and the person you once overlooked could rise above you.With warm golden tones, soulful delivery, and a message carved straight from wisdom, Daniel Ray teaches the most important truth of all:“Life is a wheel. Treat every soul with love, because no position is permanent.”This is reggae with reality. Reggae with conscience.A musical reminder to walk soft, stay grounded, and never lose your humanity.
