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

“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.
