I feel a likkle Yellowman vibe, Steel Pulse, Uhuru... Lyrically Alborosie tries a likkle too hard on the spirtual/meaningful tunes but fails and comes off contradictory at times. That said, his beats are proper and I like the journey this album takes me on through reggae history. Big up Alborosie, big up Sicily!<br /><br />KingtafariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940959959303120275.post-32070987169742107772009-06-29T08:01:09.080+01:002009-06-29T08:01:09.080+01:00Alborosie does his thing ...

However, since then IMHO Alborosie has failed to impress and I am now of the school to believe that he is indeed a "one-trick pony". It's just all a bit too derivative and often smacks too much of making these fake combos in order to get a quick forward.
