Sizzla
Sizzla, born Miguel Orlando Collins in 1977, is one of the most commercially and critically successful contemporary reggae artists and is noted for his high number of releases. As of 2011, he had released more than 70 solo albums.
Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement to record material that is concerned primarily with spirituality and social consciousness.
Sample songs: Black Woman and Child, Like Mountains, No White God
Jr gong ah the one
Contemporary … that's the headline
ok??
It is good that these artistes are promoting black consciousness in their music. Some of them may have gotten away from the hyper sexuality, violence, misogyny and homophobia of dancehall music. That is good, too.
Sadly, Sizzla, Capleton and Buju Banton have long histories of writing and performing music that calls for LGBT people to be killed. None of them have ever backed away from the deadly messages in some of their songs.
The most glaring omission is Luciano "Jah Messenjah". That oversight is absolutely puzzling.
Promoting Black Consciousness in this time is a very good thing as black people as become much much more fragmented….NUFF RESPECT JAH BLESS!!!!
