His exceptional and unique falsetto voice paired with his profound and poetic lyrics have caught the attention of some of the best producers and labels and an ever-growing fanbase. Joe has entered the stage with support from reggae/dub legends such as David Rodigan, Don Letts, Dennis Bovell, Nick Manasseh and Stand High Patrol. "Rocking Ship" comes via Steppas Records in collaboration with upcoming UK dub producer Yaksha, “Rocking Ship” is a poignant and compassionate commentary on the plight of refugees. Mixed by Alpha Steppa, featuring a heavyweight, stripped back dub mix for company. A crucial 7” for collectors, home listening and sound systems alike.

Lyrics by Eeyun Purkins;

You’ve come so far,
From war-zones and dictatorships,
In search of a better life

You’ve come so far,
From war-zones and dictatorships,
Travelling on the blade of a knife

To my friend I am sorry,
Sorry for your loss,
I write from my Safe European home,
Behind the boarders you try to cross,
I would send you a message of solidarity,
But I know that statement comes far too easily

You’ve come so far,
From war-zones and dictatorships,
In search of a better life

I’ve not spent years waiting for the day,
When I can find a resting place that doesn’t rock and sway,
Down at the passport office I handed in my form,
And now I can cross any line because of the place where I was born

You’ve come so far,
From war-zones and dictatorships,
In search of a better life

On the beaches of Lesbos,
The jungle in Calais,
You’ve been travelling for forever and a day,
The smugglers approach you with dollar in their eyes,
The government make you queue day after day their promises are lies

You’ve come so far,
You’re just a person your status is not an identity,
So what I’m sending is an apology

You’ve come so far,
From war-zones and dictatorships,
In search of a better life

You’ve come so far,
From War-zones and Dictatorships,
Travelling on the blade of a knife
