The artwork suggests that Bulby has let us into his world. Seated between 2 lionesses, he pensively sits as a king. The mountains of Jamaica can be seen in the background while exotic flowers Bird of Paradise are in the front. Let’s not leave out the flags of his birth nor the pair of black butterflies floating nearby.
Ranging in emotions from romantic to encouraging, fun and peaceful worship to exotic; these 17 tracks are worth playing from start to finish. Bulby takes us on a ride with some of your favorite Reggae/Dancehall artists.
The remix of Maxi Priest’s “Easy to Love” features the voice of Stylo G. What was originally a serenade of appreciation for Maxi’s lady love, has now become Stylo G’s proposal to spoil his queen with affection for the rest of their lives.
“You’re the reason that I dance in the rain” belts Anguillan songstress Deanna as she fights why she’s so in love…though it’s forbidden. Sizzla Kalonji answers “I want you as bad you want me and for us to be apart it just can’t be”. All’s fair in love and “Guerilla Warfare”.
The riddim (beat) on “Teenie Weenie” had my waist whining in a hypnotizing motion. Father Beres croons of how the teenie and tight is “enough to drive a man crazy”. Agent Sasco agrees that the loving and physique has him over the edge.
Raise your flags for Jamaica! Proud of their heritage, Kumar and Chino pay homage to the capital of Jamaica in “Kingston Town”. Proud Jamaicans everywhere will recognize this cover (originally by UB40) as an anthem.
Personal growth is inevitable. Over very familiar riddims (Bam Bam & Street Sweet [Steely & Cleevie]), the unstoppable Charly Black shares that he is “Stronger” and much wiser through his many trials and tribulations.
Ladies! Grab your bottled water and click ‘play’. Malica has captivated Beenie “Zagga Zim Zimma” Man with her “Wiggle Wiggle”. He approves of her body movements and DJs he can handle it…though it’s driving him mad. Come on queens! Let’s flip our hair, wiggle our hips and shake off those undeserving suitors. Follow their instructions for a quick cardi workout. Can you say “Zumba”?
Who better to cover Tracy Chapman than Etana and Lutan Fyah? “All That You Have is Your Soul” are wise words from Granny. No need to give your soul away chasing temporary pleasures and fixations. Whether it’s relationships or material things, these 2 Reggae gems warn that you’ll play the ultimate price.
We’re all in this together…WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. Get this…Jimmy Cliff and the 5-Star General Bounty Killer with Fire God Capleton. For the sake of “Humanity”, let’s spread light, peace and love through music.
Who else can take the voice of Mr. Freddie “Big Ship” McGregor himself, and re-introduce us to Sir Winston Riley and his Stagalag riddim? Bulby York. Can we take a praise break? Absolutey. Reggae songbird Sanchez is giving all the praise to the Most High. Whatever your spiritual beliefs, let the sweet melody and lyrics embrace you with “Love Wonderful Love”. The most pure and unconditional of all love.
Grab your favorite glass of wine, light some incense and dim the lights. No lyrics…just a vibe. Allow famed saxophonist Dean Fraser to put you in a “Sentimental Mood”. Feel that? Relax and just let go.
Have you ever heard Busy Signal sing before? EVER? The steady beat of the drum sets the pace for a long night of lovemaking with Cecile. He requested, she accepted. Let’s “Stay Home Tonight”. From sunset til sunrise, body-to-body…Straight from Guatemala! Latin artist, Billy the Diamond and popular Dancehall duo Tanto Metro & Devante can’t seem to figure out why they’re going crazy. Head-over-heels for her feminine wiles, they ask “How You a
Gwaan So”.
Rygin King (rising Dancehall artist) doesn’t know what to do. He realized he messed up beyond repair. He doesn’t know what to do, who to turn to. He doesn’t want to lose her…Deanna is not having it. She feels “Going Blind” is a better option than giving him any more of herself. If there’s a bigger picture, she doesn’t want to see it. There’s an emotion in his pleas that she refuses to give in to. This is a softer side to Rygin King that I hope to see more of. Dancehall DJ where???
“Emergency”! There’s no love here; just straight positioning. Konshens and Tifa are in heat and there’s no extinguishing this flame. He’s going hard and fast whether you can handle it or not. Tifa taunts that she has what it takes and he better not pop down. This fast-paced track is fun and naughty.
Grabba, check. Ganja, check. Water, check. Towel, check. Now start the track. After a quick introduction “Hi.Nice to meet you. The name’s Marcy…Marcy Chin.”, she and famous Soca star Skinny Fabulous just roll one up, bend it over and bang out a quickie. A hardcore f&^% fest. What else is needed but “Blunts and Backshots”for this eargasm?
All hail the “Queen of the Ghetto”. Anthony Redrose pays homage to the hardworking woman who makes no excuse, just handles her business. It’s an homage designed to pay respect and show admiration.
“Money, money, money…the root of all evil” sings Horace Andy as Jahbar I enters on the beat drop. Why are you praising money as if it’s your God? You’re not who you used to be. Stressed out and losing your mind…for money. Totally gone insane…for money
