reggae heads

I got the newest album from him today, and it's pretty good. This song was real cool too, it's so crazy, haha. I don't usually listen to Dancehall, but this is pretty nice.

Ahoy ... Bro, are you talkin' about 'Reign of Fire', which has 'Or Wah' on it as the 'newest album' ... if not which album are you referring to as the 'newest album'?

I don't know if it's just me, I used to be 'totally' into Capleton and Sizzla a few years back, but I'm finding their more recent albums to be just a bit too ... umm, hmmm ... lazy, if that's the right word? Man, 'More Fire' by Capleton and 'Bobo Ashanti' by Sizzla maybe just hit such a peak back then, that not even they can top it ... just my opinion, still dig 'em and of course they are still heavy.

It's almost like the Wu-Tang Clan on the Hip Hop front, they hit a peak with 'Wu-Tang Forever', maybe even 'The W' ... and everything since then just seems to not match up to that standard. OK, I guess ‘8 Diagrams’ has some good stuff on it … but anyways …

I really dig the dynamics that Anthony B delivers, the Brother can go from crazy dancehall flows all the way through to Roots Reggae, and then onto Nyabinghi chants without any effort ...

 

Yeah it probably wasn't the newest album, but I don't follow it too close, which I'm sorry

I'm not too much into it either, Dancehall, that is, but that song was kind of okay you know. I liked another song on that album, then I'd just kind of switch to another artist, haha.

 

Brother, no need to apologise ... every person does things on their own time

‘Reign Of Fire’ has got some good dynamics though … kind of filps from roots to dancehall with real flow. The track ‘Leaders Let the People Down’ is irie, it’s got that roots sound, with those occasional breaks of dub style horn section with the up-beat-ness that Capleton delivers … nice!:

The Prophet’s lyrics are truly inspirational … … Jah Bless!

 

And then there is Anthony B, who never seizes to impress … The 2009 release, ‘Rise Up’ is quality, absolutely love this album. The Brother just has that consolidated style. It’s common place for Bobo Rasta to have a mix of dancehall and reggae, with that sporadic inclusion of elements of dub and ska during the production process … but Anthony B, Wow, The I-Man just merges the different styles in such an amazing way. ‘Rise Up’ features Chezidek, Horace Andy and Lukie D

Here are some tracks from the album:
