Anyone know what the back story to that Johnny Osbourne song is?
Is it directed at Ring Craft Posse?

This is too crazy: I was just thinking about this today, and had intended to ask the very same question when I logged in.

Strictly telepathic is right. lol!
I had a feeling it was witchcraft, because I imagined Sauron's eye scouring Middle Earth for the ring of power. Like you, I wondered if the song was directed at The Ringcraft Posse, but I also was wondering why they would name themselves after dark magic. It just seems to be the antithesis of the livication message in reggae that I'm familiar with. Any insights?

I think it refers to marriage, would make sense listening to this earth and stone song:
