2010 was a great year for Collie and the crew, filled with hilarious memories and remarkable moments. Cypress Hill’s SmokeOut Fest was voted by the crew as one of the year’s high points. Collie performed twice that day in San Bernardino, CA on the Indonesia and SmokeOut stages, respectively.
Lyrics
A just the sweet sweet sensi,
Yuh know,
Yeh I, Yeh I,
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Now,
[Chorus:]
Finally the herb’s come around,
The high grade when me a look for,
Me get it by the pound,
yeah,
Sweet sensi a come around,
Me a take a little draw and pass it go round, so,
Finally the herb’s come around,
The high grade that man a look for,
Me stock it by the pound,
yeah,
When babylon a come around,
Ask them whe them ago search for,
[Verse 1:]
Ever since the herbs slow down,
Police and rude boy dem inna showdown,
Them a search round the compound,
Yuh kno man a no weed clown,
Find a little piece of land and a plant me home grown, so,
Tell the youth them nah fi take pill,
To much crack and cocaine a make the world a feel ill,
yuh kno,
Nuff ganja nuff spliff a build,
Only thing whe a make man feel chill,
Whe (what) me say,
Finally the herb’s come around,
The high grade when me a look for,
Me get it by the pound,
yeah,
When Collie Bud come around,
A pure ganja man tune,
Just a lick from the sound,
yeah,
Finally the herb’s come around,
The high grade what man a look for
Me stock it by the pound yeah,
When babylon a come around,
Ask them whe dem ago search for?
There’s nothing like the sweet sweet sensi,
The first time me take a draw was in elementary,
Reach high school an get the herb it plenty,
Like Scare Dem dub for Soul Jah One or Lenky yeah,
Me stash box never empty,
The fifty dollar bag we call that half century,
Me start me own herb documentary,
Bermy man a call that film 4:20,

Whe me say,
[Chorus:]
Finally the herbs come around,
The high grade whe me a look for,
Me get it by the pound,
yeah,
Sweet sensi a come around,
Me a take a little draw and pass it go round, so,
Finally the herbs come around,
The high grade that man a look for,
Me stock it by the pound, yeah,
When babylon a come around,
Ask them whe dem ago search for?
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Now,
Yeh I, Yeh I,
Nah, Nah, Now,

[Verse 2:]
When dem ago realize,
Good works man a advertize,
When dem a go legalize,
The farmer man a beg a little bligh,
When den ago realize,
Government them a terrorize,
Corporation dem a capitalize,
While the farmer man nuh beg a little bligh,
[Chorus:]
Finally the herbs come around,
The high grade when me a look for,
Me get it by the pound,

When Collie Bud come around,
A pure ganja man tune,
Just a lick from the sound,
yeah,
Finally the herbs come around,
The high grade what man a look for
Me stock it by the pound yeah,
When babylon a come around,
Ask them whe dem ago search for,
Collie Buddz
Yeah I
Collie Buddz has done something not impossible but something once seemingly very implausible. He’s become the most buzz-worthy current Bermudian Reggae artist over the past few years. In the summer, 2007, Collie Buddz’ Columbia Records self-titled debut album stormed the charts entering the Billboard Reggae Chart at first position.

Tight beats, grooves, tunes & sonic worlds created with the Violin – Voice & Drums Only (oh, and a vintage casio & DX7 in case of retro emergencies) “Bend, slap, scratch and scream at it – then you’ll know how to play the violin.” –Taylor Rankin.
Taylor Rankin’s music brings you to a magical place where funk, reggae, hip hop, gospel, pop, rap, jazz and blues all cling to the whirling dervish spinning inside his mind. His voice slides seamlessly from baritone to falsetto, pinching and winking at every note in between, while he literally reaches inside his violin, pushing it to new limits – caressing, smashing, coaxing it to sound like a DJ scratching the finest vinyl, an electric guitar, a bass, drum, flute, and even, on occasion, a violin. Working with only his voice, his violin and drummer, Rankin moves over and makes room for you to get in on his joyride of sound. From his first performances busking as a 12-year-old to working alongside famous choreographers to touring, recording or opening for musicians such as Wyclef, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Canadian Tenors, Jazmine Sullivan, Collie Buddz, and Heather Nova, Rankin has been on a relentless musical journey and he wants you along for the ride. Every experience is unique, ranging from the epic to the sublime to the dirty, bumping, low-down, groovy sounds that only a half-Japanese Bermudian-Canadian can possibly create. The door is open. All you have to do is step inside…
