Little known fact: Bad Brains started off life as a jazz fusion band.
Sure. I hear it.
The title of this song, the title song from their 1986 album, is actually a reggae reference - "I and I" is a phrase used in reggae to signify one's relationship with God. Although Bad Brains was - is - clearly a punk band that I first learned about on the pages of Thrasher magazine in my days as skate punk in the 1980's (yes, I still have my board), their influences include reggae, jazz, and funk.
Anyway, if this is the first time you're hearing Bad Brains, enjoy.
