By Maria Jackson 27 Magazine—
Rastafarian reggae artist Ras Kronik continues to bless us with his dynamic sound. He is back with his third studio album – The Energy – released on August 18th via Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC., the imprint co-owned and operated by him and his brother Sheldon Edwards.
The Energy features a collection of reggae and dancehall songs, with one surprising soca/afrobeat tune (track #6, This Morning). It has a total of twelve tracks and only one collaboration, which is Fyah Burn, done with veteran reggae artist Turbulence.
The overarching theme of this record however, is clearly Ras Kronik‘s Rastafarian faith and lifestyle. Outside of a couple of love songs – that were undoubtedly done for his female fanbase – most of the tunes are centered around survival, peace, determination, unity, spirituality, etc.
Producers and beatmakers that contributed to this body of work are Mr. Mig, Ricky Dread, Trixx Anthony Tenyue, Sheldon and Everton Edwards. When asked what inspired the album, Ras Kronik simply said: “Love, love is the inspiration behind the Energy.”
