General Degree – Home Work

General Degree comes in with “Home Work” as a sharp piece of dancehall business: cheeky, fast-moving, and built around his trademark patter rather than any straight-faced sermon. The title plays on domestic duty and bedroom duty at the same time, which is exactly the sort of double meaning Degree has always handled well. He was one of the defining voices of mid-90s dancehall, known for his playful delivery, crowd-friendly hooks, and a catalog that sat comfortably beside the era’s biggest sound-system records.

The song sits on the Grafton Brew rhythm from 1995, a Grafton Road production that also carried cuts from names like Lady Saw, Spragga Benz, Don Yute, Hawkeye, and Chevelle. That places “Home Work” in the middle of a strong, competitive juggling where the vocals had to be direct and memorable to cut through. General Degree’s approach gives it that edge: quick-tongued, lightly humorous, and full of the kind of dancehall confidence that made him a fixture on 90s compilations and selector rotations.

Mikey Bennett’s name in the production credit adds another layer of pedigree. Bennett is a veteran Jamaican producer, musician, and singer whose work has run through several generations of reggae and dancehall, from classic roots-era sessions to later catalogue work. A 2026 release date on this upload appears to reflect the current digital reissue, while the recording itself clearly belongs to the original 1995 Grafton run.
