Am I the only one in love with DK Khaled's collaboration with some of Jamaica's most renkowned musical artistes? Oh you are too? Let's talk.
DJ Khaled oftentimes go against the status quo musically. Where as some producers might choose to release projects with the current hitmakers and chart toppers, Sir Khaled intentionally seeks for talent. A hitmaker understands that he has the power to do the right thing musically and he does.
HOLY MOUNTAIN
Buju Banton (real name Mark Myrie) is no stranger to the Billboard charts. He serves up some lyrics on "Holy Mountain" that I never would have expected. I can hear that this a man who has been through life's trials and testing as he sings "tormented soul tormented soul go away from me... hypocrites and Jezebels dance to the devil's delight".
The way the beat drops and switch up with that heavy baseline makes for a enriched confusion at first listen. I listened again while taking in the visuals from the song's video and I can tell that everyone put their all into making this gem. The comments from the naysayers couldn't shake my approval.
Now let's talk about 070 Shake. How am I just hearing her voice? Pain, faith and passion screams on the chorus "...said I wouldn't make it I was being tested". That is it! Even the wealthiest of people go through a phase of resistance. 070 Shake sounds as if she's happy that she stuck around and faced whatever it was she was going through. #Godaprotect
Mavado cries: "protect mi son Jah". We all have a god in our lives. I don't know which god he was singing to but I can tell that help was necessary in his personal life. Turns out that Mavado's son who is a minor was convicted for a crime and sentenced to prison in the beautiful 'Home Of Alright'.
