Conscious reggae star Sizzla returns with a new anthem for the youths, and a plan to encourage and empower the younger generation. The new single, aptly titled "Learn To Read," speaks on the importance of education, as Sizzla advocates young people to learn to read and write, as a way to overcome ignorance . "In the beginning, I spoke Amharic, which is the true language," reveals Sizzla. "And telling the youths about the brilliance of education, and teaching them the importance of it, will [...]

Original Drawing by Niko Kaplanis While I am unable to pinpoint the exact point that I was introduced to Sizzla Kalonji, I do know that I discovered his music at about the same time as my long time friend Skee did, and that it took only one play of Give Me a Try to spark in me a love of his music that burns strong to this day. Since beginning his recording career in 1995, Sizzla has released an impressive amount of music- over 45 solo albums and 15 combination albums—with styles which span across the [...]

As much as we've advanced as a human race, prejudice and discrimination are two things that continue to plague our existence. What we have learned to do however is eliminate it from our popular culture, at least at first glance. Of course the 'nigger' debate still rages on, but most have resided to agree that the word had been manipulated sufficiently to suit an entirely different culture. The rules of use can never be completely distinct, but in the context of hip-hop and 'black music' the chances of offence are minimal. Homophobia on the other hand is a [...]

Riddim hunting is one of the more elusive internet-sleuthing activities. Versions and their riders are numerous, some riddims better than others, and myriad spaces in which they're held. Dancehall is deeply within my musical roots, and I look forward to sharing more of it here in the future. This week it's the Night Vision Riddim, replete with the version and a few of my favorite deejays from the collection. Release on Armz House Records, the production credit simply goes to Armz House. I was unable to find any other information on the production credit, but oddly enough Armz [...]

All you electro-music listeners need to know your roots. So what is jungle music? Most of the forty years old were dancing on this considering the emergence of those beats around 1990. I will let you guys figure it out with an official definition and a collection of oldschool & newschool jungle. "Oldschool Jungle is the name given to a style of electronic music that incorporates influences from genres including breakbeat hardcore, techno, and reggae/dub/dancehall. There is significant debate as to whether jungle is a separate genre from drum and bass as some use the terms interchangeably. Drum [...]
