Max Romeo & Fay Bennett – Hole Under Crutches (18+) | Conscious Roots Reggae Classic 🔥🌿

Artists: Max Romeo, Fay Bennett
Album: The Coming of Jah: Anthology 1967-76
Released: 2002

Max Romeo is a cornerstone of roots reggae and Rastafari consciousness, known for his revolutionary lyricism, haunting melodies, and unwavering cultural message. “Hole Under Crutches” is a powerful song that speaks straight to the heart of oppression, inequality, and the struggle of the poor and humble.

In this track, Max Romeo uses symbolism and poetic imagery to show how society gives false support to the people — propping them up with “crutches” that are already broken. The message is clear: the system pretends to help, but truly keeps people weak and dependent. This is education through rhythm — a call to wake up, rise up, and see through illusion.

Whether you’ve followed Max Romeo from “War Ina Babylon,” “Chase the Devil,” and his work with Lee “Scratch” Perry, or you’re discovering him now, this track is a reminder of why roots reggae remains timeless:
It teaches, warns, comforts, and reminds us that truth stands strong.
