Full time wi stand up against the system. But man still haffi eat... Jamaican singjay sensation Chronixx start a fyah while rising roots artist Jah9 provides nuff serious reasoning. A pair of big Tarrus Riley hits with Gimmi Likkle One Drop & the killer Kabaka Pyramid combination Fly Di Gate. Bobby Tenna's album Words & Melody builds on his amazing debut set and marks him as an upcoming major talent in conscious roots music. Both albums are out on his own Wile Fya label, check them out. Singer/deejay Lady Flame also has some fine music out there. She forwards the positivity here on Build Up. Visit ladyflame.com. 2013 sees a welcome return to form for both Turbulence and Capleton. The Prophet blaze it up here with Meta & The Cornerstones on the Senegalese band's Ancient Power CD. Preview it on their Soundcloud page. Jahcoustix & Apple Gabriel come with a deep roots blast against the leaders on Controller, lifted from Jahcoustix's Frequency LP out on IrieVibrations.

Crucial relicks of classic riddim & some fresh originals. Featuring the very irie Tropical Escape (Chimney Records), Coronation Day (Hilltop), Selassie I Way (Israel Records), Crisis (Rawborn Product), Heartwarming (Akom), Songbird (I-Grade), Dennis Brown's Milk & Honey (Reggae Fever) and a superb remix of Garnett's Hard Nut To Crack on Wile Fya.

Queen Ifrica is brilliant; her range and depth, deejay, singer, rockstone, chanter.., is exceptional. I saw her onstage with Tony Rebel last month and she stole the show with a storming set, including Below the waist, Genocide, Daddy, Zinc Fence, When Will It... a tru Lioness On the Rise! The Rebel gave a surprisingly lackluster performance, rocking the crowd only at the end with If Jah is Standing By Our Side though they encored well together with a good version of Forever Loving Jah. I'm told by a good friend that they were much the same at Boomtown Fair festival the following weekend..
Preview and buy Queen Ifrica's album Fyah Muma on Flames.

Equal Rights 2011 - The Bush Doctor Remembered...

 

Equal Rights 2011 - Peter Tosh Remembered...

 

 

2011's already weighing in heavier than last year with a lot of variety, some strong releases and the emergence of upcoming artists like Joggo Seedorf  and Jesse Royal. Excursions pon the Message (Don Carleon), Strangers On My Shore (Tuff Nut), Trouble You A Trouble Me (Tuff Gong), Island Life (Chimney) and more cuts of the Jah Army (Ghetto Youths). Penthouse lead the tributes on Equal Rights and Igziabeher (Penthouse/Gedion). Exterminator have rebuilt the dubby, jazzed up Royalty riddim (aka Jah Is Love/As A Friend) where Sizzla & Turbulence re-voice 2004 tunes, while Jesse Royal lets rip in strictly conscious mode.
