    "comment": "“In Our Sight” is a 2025 single from Skip Marley, produced by Supa Dups and released on Def Jam/Island as a stand‑alone track that leans hard into classic roots‑reggae sonics. The riddim deliberately pulls from foundation tunes—built over a Dennis Brown “Westbound Train”‑style groove with horns echoing The Abyssinians’ “Satta Massagana” line—so it feels like modern Marley family uplift riding directly on 70s roots DNA.\n\nLyrically it’s a straight, big‑tent anthem about collective struggle and unity: “arms in arms tonight, side by side, victory is in our sight… don’t stop striving while our hearts still beating,” with verses calling out corruption and “Babylon” while insisting that systems fall when people unify. On an International Clash Day tip, it’s a perfect spiritual descendant of what The Clash were reaching for when they folded roots‑reggae and anti‑authoritarian politics together—only here it’s coming right from the Marley line, explicitly sampling and re‑voicing the same roots language about Babylon, solidarity, and dancing your way toward liberation.",
