Free Music Notes for Royal Son of Ethiopia
Free Music Review: Solid Roots, weak dancehall
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is mostly solid. Only problem for me is some weak dancehall riddims but at the same time I do realize that this album is already 9 years old and dancehall riddims aren't always timeless. (Although good roots riddims seem to be maintain their greatness forever.)
Top tracks for me are of course the more rootsy songs- In This Time, Ripe Leaf, What Does It Worth, Babylon Homework, Oh Children, Break Free, and Mental Chains. Top notch lyrics and delivery from Sizzla and really great melodies and riddims. Only thing that I can say negative about any of these tracks is that on Mental Chains the Western-sample should have only played for the intro, not for the whole song, but oh well. Sizzla's lyrics, melody, and delivery save it from sounding sub-par.
The best dancehall song on here is absolutely "As In the Beginning." Although it's not the most timeless dancehall riddim in the world, Sizzla voicing over it makes it come together perfectly. Also, True Hearts is a really good R&B styled song.
The riddims to Eastern Mountain, Burn Dem Turf, A Wah Dat and the A Wah Dat remix are pretty weak and make the album a little less than an amazing effort. Lyrically Sizzla is still on point, I just wish he voiced the songs over better riddims.
