Jah Jah Solve Dem (Lion Inna Den riddim)
Here’s a really NICE song from Iron Gate Records. Worth a few spins this fine Monday morning. This is available for pre-order on Bandcamp here. The price is, uh, curious (read: kind of insane), assuming this release has just one … Continue reading

Miss You Like Crazy (Trail Blazer riddim)
A cut like this one makes me worried about Sizzla’s voice. He was hard on it for years and it has showed signs of strain recently, but seldom as much as here. Singing both low and high, he almost sounds … Continue reading
Love Me (True Melody riddim)
I don’t know about this one. I need another listen – first impression is that it sounds kind of like Sizzla’s Don Corleon period (e.g. “Soul Deep”) but not that good.
“Radical” revisited
Just wanted to weigh in once more on one of this year’s most problematic releases. After listening to it several times back to back for my review, I shelved “Radical” and wrote it off as a low-grade disaster. Not through-and-through … Continue reading

Reach for the Stars (Peace and Love riddim), etc.
Here’s a pretty new roots single you’ll wanna hear: This is available for legal download now. And speaking of legal downloads, Sizzla has several new singles out this week. You’ll also want to get “Rasta Nah Gwan So” on the … Continue reading

“Born a King” review
Ah. That’s more like it. At first glance – by which I mean “before actually hearing it, while peering studiously at track lists and trying to figure out what the hell this thing IS, exactly” – “Born a King” seemed … Continue reading

“Radical” review
This is brutal. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the album most longtime Sizzla fans were anticipating most this year is a disappointment. Sounds strange to say considering how great some of these tunes are, but … Continue reading

Shamelessness.
I don’t understand who does this kind of shit. I understand why (get more views on their video) but man, it’s just annoying and does not predispose me to want to follow this artist any further. What this appears to … Continue reading
It’s A Rocky Road (from the “Radical” album)
This album is coming fast – in fact my copy is already on its way to me courtesy of the VP web shop. Can’t wait! This is pure vintage Kalonji right here.
