7 35 Issue 60 / 2014 REGGAE / DANCE HALL guestlist.net OUR PLAYLIST What A Man Show Winston McAnuff Rent Man Black Uhuru Gimme Gimme African Love African Brothers We present you with 4 of the hottest tracks right now... You cannot say that the son of the Almighty Jah Shaka does not work hard - with 3 planned releases in March - he deserves the title of artist of the month in my humble opinion. The 3 albums will be released on the Jah Shaka Official Music label. One of them is realised in collaboration with the reggae empress Sista Beloved, whose voice blends perfectly with the Steppas-type dubplates played on Sound Systems around the world. On 'Dub Box', the son of Jah Shaka proves his capacity to prolong the leg- acy of his father's infallible music whilst adding his own touch and creativity to create a promising blend of past and future sounds. Finally his 3rd album features Principal and seems to be as promis- ing and refined as the other two. Young Warrior is gaining momentum and making a name of his own in the reggae industry. After all good foundations do not nec- essarily lead to successful outcomes. Michael Prophet & Scientist You Are No Good His lyrics are full of positivism, spiritualism and militancy. ALBUM OF THE MONTH ALPHA BLONDY - BEST OF ARTIST OF THE MONTH YOUNG WARRIOR TRACK OF THE MONTH TARRUS RILEY - LOVE SITUATION The message and tone of this single shows the diversity of the artist and his team, forming an elaborate composition you are certainly going to really enjoy. More @ guestlist.net/reggae The recent double-CD release of Alpha Blondy's Best Of album is a great opportunity to rediscover the Ivory Coast legend of reggae. Seydou Kone (Alpha Blondy) is one of the rare African singers to have had such a breakthrough in reggae. As the ambassador of French and his native language (Dioula) in reggae as well as the living truth of Rastafarian African roots, he has spread his rockers throughout the world and generations. His lyrics are full of positivism, spiritualism and militancy. From messages of unity, such as in the classic Jerusalem - where he calls for peace whilst quoting Arabic, French, English and Hebrew – to Politiqui sung mainly in Dioula, his cultural diversity is illustrated by the diversity of his sound, although his music remains constantly light, joyful and very accessible. Jimmy Riley's son is now known for his sweet, gradient tenor vocal style, although he entered the Jamacain music scene as a deejay at first. His new album, "Love Situation", has a great Intro, but "Dem A Watch (Wanna See Us Break Up)", the socially-charged single, is probably going to be his next hit song. The message and tone of this single shows the diversity of the artist and his team, forming an elaborate composition you are certainly going to really enjoy.
