Album Notes

WOOKIE J is a special person with a very positive message. He shows his love for people, God, children, his music, his wife and kids, and ganja on his new, debut album "BIG UP THE CHILDREN." WOOKIE J grew up listening to rap and reggae and "BIG UP THE CHILDREN" is a true reflection of just that. WOOKIE'S career actually started in Hawaii with Steffan Franz(Standout Selector). They were doing clubs and shows together. They formed Positive Sound Massive and started recording. Then WOOKIE hooked up with KULCHA SHOK MUZIK back in Florida and now has completed a great sounding reggae/hip hop album. The album is dedicated to the kids and that's why it's called "BIG UP THE CHILDREN."

This song is not only the title track but it is also a single and video. The album really shows a spiritual side to WOOKIE, who grew up in the church and is the first in 4 generations in his family not to become a preacher. In all reality he's still a preacher but thru music. Tracks like "THANK JAH," "THIS IS LIFE," "TELL IT TO YOUR NEIGHBOR" and "RUN COME" reveal this side to him. His hip hop influence is highlighted on "FLIP THE SCRIPT," "MY RECORD" and "YANKEE & YARDEE" with NATTY REMO. SHINEHEAD does a duet with a song WOOKIE penned called "NICE UP THE DANCE." The lover's rock and jazzy styled "DARLING" is a special song he wrote to his wife. The dancehall and influence Nicodemus had on him is heard in "HERBMAN CONNECTION," "ROMP UP IN THE PLACE" and "I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN." The album ends with 3 dub tracks. ENJOY!!!!
