Jah Mason - Wheat And Tears - Greensleeves - CD
The Sizzla style in a singing style. Jah Mason is not the first to
attempt it. Sizzla himself as done a pretty good job - before going to
his DJ style. Jah Mason is a singer though, and its good to hear him
coming along, good songs, and good solid roots production from Byron
Smith. Probably the most remarkable track is 'Now You Say' its a love
song that someone like John Holt could end up singing!! Its got a very
seventies type of feel. Overall its a roots album, very militant - and
one that sets Jah Mason in the right direction. Realistically people
who like this kind of style want to hear these kind of lyrics - and
with the right kind of production it works. The Firehouse crew pop up
on a load of the rhythms. While recording as took place all over the
world, Jamaica, the UK, the US, and Sweden
Jah Mason - Most Royal - Jah Warrior
The bobo form of deejaying is not deejaying at all, its closer to
preaching, and when it gets too fast - an artist could be saying
anything. The solution is to slow the 'DJ' down, its what Kariang did
very successfully with Sizzla a few years back. The same label as
recently released a set by Jah Mason, but failed to employ the same
production technique for him. Jah Warrior thankfully as slowed him
down. The UK built rhythm are good as well recorded at Conscious
Sounds in London. Jah Mason comes up with some good lyrics all
cultural topics - hopefully the set will be successful and other
producers will take note.
