about

"Krates" is a musical time machine taking you on a journey through the eclectic and vibrant sounds stored in the crates. Colle´ Kharis invites you to an immersive experience where reggae, dancehall, disco, soca, chutney, and calypso converge in a sonic celebration. The catchy refrain of "In a the crates, Boi, Dig in a the crates" beckons the audience to join in on this musical excavation. The verses, filled with vivid imagery, capture the atmosphere of a lively event where selectors draw big tunes, and the crowd responds with energetic whines and flag-waving. It's a nostalgic, rhythmic tribute to the richness of Caribbean musical heritage.

lyrics

Ey Ey, all yuh early to the show
You know we still got 45 more minutes to go
Tek a seat, grab a drink, get comfortable
Lemme dig inna de crate and grab something nice fi uno

In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, big tune
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, boom tunes

Reggae,dancehall, disco
Soca, chutney, calypso
When the nuts and base hit your face
Its like tornado
Record dusty like a hobos.
String tunes together like lagos
Put this it pon turntable
Dis a fi di fit and able

In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, big tune
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, boom tunes

Dis a go l tek you back in time
When you and you friends use to lime
Sir Benzo say a showtime
So all you get up and whine
Shane Talon, to the front a di line
If your from a caribbean bloodline
Unu come show me a sign
Wave your flag
like wind turbine

In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, big tune
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, boom tunes

When two big sound meetup
And di crates dem pile up
Di selector draw big tune
And di whole place mash up
Whole heap a lighter, flag
and dutty sweat rag ina di air
Whole heap a giratinting
And all types of worthless affairs

In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, big tune
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, boom tunes

Reggae,dancehall, disco
Soca, chutney, calypso
When the nuts and base hit your face
Its like tornado
Record dusty like a hobos.
String tunes together like lagos
Put this it pon turntable
Dis a fi di fit and able

In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
In a the crates, Boi
Dig in a the crates (In a the crates)
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, big tune
Draw tune, draw tune, draw tune, boom tune
