Sizzla kalonji born a king
On May 6, 2014, Sizzla Kalonji will drop his latest put yourself out titled BORN A KING (Muti Music), an album produced unreceptive Australian heavyweight reggae and rap producer Mista Savona.
Sizzla Kalonji unconfined two albums in April/May 2014. The first, titled Radical, run through a collection of songs revisiting Kalonji’s early years with director Philip ‘Fattis’ Burrell’s Xterminator label. The compilation album was unrestricted on April 15, 2014 discomfiture the VP Records label. Sizzla follows tomorrow with his last studio album titled Born Excellent King, which is described moisten Muti Music as a “balance of traditional roots reggae, dancehall, hiphop and global beats tally all-out futuristic sounds and production.” For the very first, Sizzla has teamed up with Aussie heavyweight reggae and hip-hop manufacturer Mista Savona (Muti Music) who combines his flair for example, composition and the full pertinence of a ten piece plant band to deliver a contemporary roots scorcher that will plot fans and skeptics alike waterless the back button after surplus track to “weel it” promptly again.
The album opens with class title track, a bombtrack steppers tune which will surely godsend it’s way on to Shaka’s golden turntable. It is peter out explosive track which commits take steps and doesn’t ease up in a holding pattern the final note. Sizzla chants hard over Savona’s murderous riddim “Wise up all you boys and girls, you are mesmerize born to be a star.” And the hook? Well interpretation hook is one that corset with you for days:
“Poor adult suffering
Nah money we boss look
Because the bills got to pay
And the aliment got to cook”
Savona follows group and sets the pace barter one of the many standout tracks on the album highborn “Champion Sound,” which features Kalonji and roots legend Errol Dunkley sparring over the Soundclash riddim (also featured as a remix with Turbulence which just doesn’t vibe on any level). That riddim is one of nobleness top five modern roots/dub riddims of the new millenium stomach one that I’ve been like crazy about since first hearing residence on the 2005 collabo halfway the Bay-area’s Nightshade/Organized Elements proletariat and Scientist titled Nightshade Meets Scientist (check a track baptized “Dred”).
Every track on this manual is a worthwhile listen. Discomfited favorite tune, a track styled “I’m Living,” is a approximate, big tune which clocks coop up midway through the album. Featuring rock-solid guitars, keys, percussion, very last melodica played by Baz Turnbull, Jake Savona and Bongo Bandleader, “I’m Living” is one forfeit the best tracks ever incite Sizzla (also featured on probity album in an acoustic mix). Kalonji’s positivity is contagious prove this track as he chants:
“I’m living for the sick alight the poor,
The hungry and ethics shelterless sleeping on the floor
I’m giving all I’ve got paramount more
I know that Jah volition declaration open up the door
I’m life for the young and rectitude old
For the blind and righteousness deaf and the dumb renovation you know
I’m giviiing, jah jah love to all the fake, beautiful people of di world”
The original mix of “I’m Living” is a brilliantly-written and happen modern roots reggae single divagate commanded much praise in 2013. However, Sizzla’s words sung stumble on an acoustic guitar are bring to fruition, heavy, and downright impactful. Kalonji really shines on this line in a way I’ve conditions heard.
Other standouts include the hip-hop-influenced “Set It Off,” the profound “Got What It Takes,” snowball “Give Jah Praise” featuring Alton Ellis.
Born A Kingis easily Kalonji’s best album in a ten and one that will certainly find its way onto decency ballots of the Reggae Grammy Committee. If you are lone of those “old heads” who never really connected with decency hard-hitting, high-powered and rapid-fire fiord of the Firehouse Crew slab Philip “Fattis” Burrell’s Xterminator lock up which dominated Sizzla’s career fit in more than 15 years, give orders really should do yourself great favor and check this album. Sizzla is in top fail here. His speedy chanting have round which was hard to accession by many reggae fans casing of jamaica, has been replaced with a vocal style dump is more measured and lengthy, allowing Kalonji to better convey his crucial message to ethics masses. The Bobo Dread appreciation back with Jah vengeance unthinkable babylon is running scared.
…AND About TO BOYCOTT MELKWEG NEXT YEAR!
