At the end of the day, Lutan Fyah’s Phantom War was a 19 track POWERHOUSE of an album. There are still family problems, there are still relationship problems and there is still DIRECTLY a way to His Majesty which so many of these same youths being talked about in tunes like Still Deh Deh and Phantom War are finding. Its to that theme that I say that track #16, Still Deh Deh, is so important and especially from a lyrical standpoint as it gives something more TANGIBLE speaking at the time (and of course now) that in spite of all of these so called things like programs and charities being done, the shit is still there and the shit is thriving! Also with tunes like Rasta Still Deh Bout and the relationship tunes which don’t exactly fall into the line of sufferer’s tunes are still very important to making the album what it is because it shows that in that picture there is still life. Synopsis: Going back to the title and the title track: It’s clear that the Phantom War album (which, oddly enough, didn’t have an executive producer credited, although I’m almost certain (with the number of different track producers being so high in the 19 tracks with only Al.Ta.Fa.An and Fyah himself taking credit for more than one tune, two in both cases) that Lutan Fyah himself would be said executive producer) focuses on the war of poverty and just the general struggle that so many in the world face.
