Taking Care Of Our Own
18 KARAT REGGAE
GLOBAL WARMING
TCOOO Productions and BonFire Inc, have joined forces to ensure there will be no monopolization of reggae music despite the recent acquisition of GreenSleeves by VP Records.
TCOOO – the MySpace all time best and most controversial bloggers will release an expansion of their brilliance in the form of “18 Karat Reggae: Global Warming” as they continue to inspire and motivate the masses. Never before in reggae music history has a production team been so enlightening since the late great Bob Marley.
The title certainly fits the album as it is not only a gem, but it is packed with pure heat.
The reading of Psalms 87 is the introduction to the album and from there on the best compilation of dancehall and reggae tunes soar through the sound waves with lyrics that are not only thought provoking but inspiring. They say that music soothes the savage beast and the songs on Global Warming are definitely a soothing balm for the soul. Kirk Davis (formerly known as Little Kirk) sets the initial tone of the album with the track Ancient Warrior. Davis’s crisp vocals on top of a foundation beat will definitely remind the listener why Peter Tosh said reggae was music of Kings and Queens for Kings and Queens.
Newcomer MasSicker who has been tearing up a North American tour with Chezidek, delivers a social commentary on a song called Look around that not only captures the listener with his soft voice but is quite impressive with his vast intellect as he represents the youth of his time.
To call a CD “classic” a legend needs to make an appearance. On a foundation beat, Living Legend Luciano delivers the spirituality he most famous for entitled Praise Rastafari
Jango Fresh, was referred by the Jamaican Star as “the hottest new artist doing his thing.” While Jango Fresh rose to stardom with the sensational hit Fat Pumpum, the artist proves that he can hold his ground with the other greats and is not only versed on tunes depicted of a “slack” nature, but he is no easy amateur as he drops his knowledge of Roots & Culture on Babylon Will Pay The Price and Judgment.
There has never been a TCOOO release without their ace artist Vineyard a/k/a The Rebel Priest. Vineyard is also the genius guide with his business partner and friend for life, Bookman, behind the MySpace blogs that typically rate in the top ten with well over 100k hits daily. 18 Karat Reggae 2008 would not be TCOOO without him.
18 Karat Reggae: Global warming is available on Amazon, Itunes and CD Baby.
