New CD: THE LION'S PRIDE, "SOUNDCHECK" ARTIST: The Lion's Pride ALBUM: Soundcheck GENRE: Dancehall / Ragga Hip Hop / Reggaeton LABEL: Lion of Judah Sounds $15.99--OUR PRICE: Only $13.97 DOWNLOAD ALBUM: $9.99 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: Did you hear that lion's roar? That's not MGM Grand, it means that Lion of Judah Sounds is back and they have returned with a vengeance for the second installment of The Lion's Pride. This time around Monty G and DJ Frost give us a slamming "SOUNDCHECK" that features the hottest voices in the genre all on one jam-packed release. Who could resist an album that features artists like Monty G, Avalanchee, Dano Rolle, Dane-Jah-Rus, Yankee, Reubin Heights, Mann-A-Warr and K.O.K.? In many ways this album is very similar to DJ Frost's Streetlight mixtape, since we have a bunch of artists jumping on various riddims. But these are all new songs and this time a round we get the whole song, not just a piece. Most of these songs usually have one repeated gang chorus and feature different artists on each verse in a true party style! The songs are also pure Dancehall with elements of Reggaeton and Raggamuffin Hip Hop, so you won't find any Roots reggae on this disc. These are strictly club bangers guaranteed to get any crowd moving. This CD inferno kicks off with the explosive "Di Christian." After just one listen to this track and cuts like "Soul Winner" with gang vocals galore, I am convinced that this is the most hardcore dancehall album that we have released in years at gospelreggae.com. Chock full of 16 blazing tracks; it's hard to find a weak point on this LP. Note-worthy cuts include "Run Where We Come From" and an incredible remake of "Beautiful Girl" done inna Christian dancehall style. This cut that is currently mashing up the radio encourages women to save themselves for mar riage. This is just what we need to help revitalize the gospel dancehall genre! This disc also includes some smokin' Reggaeton beats with English lyrics on songs like "Christ Ah Di Way To Go" "What Will It Take", "It's Your Life" and even some Spanglish on "Let it Go". There are also plenty of sub-woofer blowing Raggamuffin Hip Hop tracks like "Hotta Dan Dem" and the inventive "Can't Stop the Blessing". If you are into cutting edge Christian dancehall party songs that will edify your soul while you dance to the beat, then this is the album for you. The Lion's Pride has a lot to be proud of. Overall, this album is full of fist pumping, car thumping, dancehall anthems sure to satisfy even the most critical dancehall listener. This is how gospel dancehall should be--hard to the core with no apology! Find out what all-the buzz is about and order the hottest dancehall compilation of the year!

Some of the biggest tunes on this album include the rootsy "Light and Salvation," the infectious "More than Conqueror," the classic "Walk in righteousness" and the acoustic "Dem Hungry" that sounds reminiscent of dancehall singjay Gentleman. It's so rare that a gospel reggae artist includes lyrics in their CD booklet these days, but Biblikal gives us all that and a bag of chips. Not only do you get 18 tracks of music and interludes, but you also get a 16 page full-color booklet with lyrics and complete Biblical references for every song.

RIK ROK & TONY GOLD BIG YARD In a release from the Library of Congress, it states that "Each year the United States Library of Congress selects a small number of audio recordings to preserve for all time in the National Recording Registry based on their historical, artistic or cultural importance to society. The Library of Congress has chosen to preserve Burnin' - the classic 1974 recording by the Wailers," the release said. It was the fourth album for the group and the last before Tosh and Bunny Wailer launched their solo careers. Included on the 34-year-old set is the timeless Get Up, Stand Up, which occupies a unique place in the legacy of the Wailers. This anthem of assertiveness is the only song recorded by the famous trio as a group, and which each re-recorded individually after they separated. There is also I Shot the Sheriff that holds the distinction of two international hit versions after it was covered by Eric Clapton who made it a number one hit in the rock market. Other classics on the set on which Marley plays the guitar, and Tosh guitar and keyboards, are Duppy Conqueror, Small Axe, and Put It On, with Bob Marley out front on lead vocals. Other important contributors to the album, produced by Chris Blackwell, were Aston "Familyman" Barrett on bass, his brother the late Carlton "Charlie" Barrett on drums, and Earl "Wire" Lindo on keyboards. Studio engineers were Tony Platt and Phill Brown. 'Jack Ruby' rightfully known as Lawrence Lindo, former sound system operator and record producer, is best known for his work with Burning Spear. A tribute took place in his honor which was spearheaded by Mayor Giscombe, who spearheaded the tribute, also used it to launch the Jack Ruby Memorial Scholarship Fund for academic excellence. The scholarship, which will be awarded to a student from Marcus Garvey High School and also one from Ocho Rios High School, will see each receiving a cash package to assist with the furtherance of their education. From 1975 until his passing away in the spring of 1989, Ruby recorded with Burning Spear, Big Youth, Justin Hinds and the Dominoes, The Black Disciples, The Heptones, The Gaylads, Foundation, U Brown, Ken Boothe, Delroy Wilson, Prezident Brown, Frankie Paul, Junior Mervin, among others. He also has a son, Jack Ruby Jr who still does music & was once the lead singer for the American ska outfit the Toasters. Lastly this is an update from Kulcha Shok & 'Reggae Vibes.' We are currently working on several things: an end of the year top 20 & overview as well as at least a little look to whats to come. Also we are looking at a new movement in reggae as well as some fading ones. Please take the time to see our new tv program 'Island Hoppers' on Sun Sports carried on Direct TV ch 632 & Dish Network's 422. For more info, dates & times it's myspace.com/islandhopperstv. Next week we will be filming our next episode of Island Hoppers in the Dominican Republic so no 'Reggae Vibes.' In our new releases this week first from Ababa Jahnoy it's the 'Raw Truth' riddim starring Joseph Hill of Culture & a host of veterans and up & comers like LMJ. A great live roots riddim. Maka Sounds releases two great cds Black Roots 'in session' & Bishob Meets Manjul 'Get Up & Try It.' Maka has brought back this lost treasure of a band. Great stuff highly recommended for roots lovers. Then they do it with Humble Ark which is Manjul & they have done this new cd with Bishob which is great. Manjul is as important to this cd as Bishob. The production is just as good as the lyrics & voice. Really good & inspiring. Really good dub too which we will feature on 'Selecta's Choice.' Jetstar release their best 'Romantic Reggae' various artist covers of lovers rock /r&b songs in reggae. It's volume 9. Each week we ask a trivia question first last week we asked, what was the Gladiators first hit? Oh Carol, which is also still their biggest This week we ask, 'Hello Carol' was originally called 'Hello My Love.' It happened to be released just before the holiday season, so why the name change? In case you don't know. we will have all that & more on next weeks edition...

The rehashing of the ³A Little Bit More² riddim is a symbolic tribute to such greats as the Crown Prince of Reggae, the late great Dennis Emmanuel Brown, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh as well as living legends Bunny Wailer & Johnny Osbourne, Brown¹s catalogue spanning decades encapsulates a solo career comparable to the best in any genre. He gave us cultural songs, he gave us Lovers Rock, Mr. Brown gave us saccharine Reggae music. The best of Johnny Osbourne is captured in his many hits during the early dancehall years of the Œ80s. Paradoxically it is his song ³Sing Jay Stylee² which is viewed by many as the precursor to the current dancehall phenomenon taking the world by storm. The ³Wailing Rude Boys² Marley, Tosh & Bunny Wailer militant stance in defense of equality & justice heralded a new era in music, giving the disenfranchised a voice, breaking down barriers and bridging the racial divide. This cosmic vibration defines the ³One Love Reggae Spirit.² The global support of Reggae enthusiasts accentuates the need to further spread the message of love. In essence, Deeboz Muzik initiative is a celebration in support of the collective efforts of the aforementioned artists and many others within the Reggae music fraternity whose colossal input thru the years made Reggae, the music that it is today. Many thanks to the engineers, producers, radio DJs, writers, promoters, fans, selectors, musicians, etc. With such a rich musical legacy, the idiom ³the well will never run dry² serves as a source of inspiration for many aspiring artists. It is also visible in the exuberance exhibited by the artistry of Chezidek, Lutan Fyah, G-Whizz, Lukie D, Qshan Deya, Anthony Que, Ras Myrhdak, Simpleman Shooka, Snypah, Tony Curtis & Cha¹maine. The brilliance of musicians, Val Douglas-bass, Noel Alphonso-drums, Mitchum ³Khan-guitar² Chin, Sidney Mills-keyboard, maestro Dean Fraser-sax & Sky Juice-percussion shines, complementing the efforts of the artists thereby making this project, a fitting tribute to the greats mentioned above. Tune in and let us know how you feel as we believe the world needs, ³A Little Bit More.² Many thanks to all the online & commercial radio stations that are currently playing the music! ---REVIEW BY WWW.REGGAE-VIBES.COM -- "Each contribution has its own merit, but in particular Lutan Fyah's "Be Real", Lukie D's lovers tune "Make Me Smile", Ras Myrhdak's "Gonna Tell Ur Friends", and "Lock Down" by Tony Curtis are great voicings and form the main pillars of the selection. Also worth of hearing are Chezidek's "Soul Food", Qshan Deya's "Youths Need Family" and Cha'Maine's "Friends & Lovers".
