Conscious Dancehall artist Sizzla lends his gruff but melodic timber to 15 tracks of drum-driven, niced-up riddims on his 2007 Penitentiary Records release, CHILDREN OF JA. A compilation of sorts, CHILDREN OF JAH features cuts from previous Sizzla albums, RED ALERT, SPEAK OF JAH, and TOE 2 TOE VOL. 5, offering yet another illustration of just how prolific an artist Sizzla really is.
Tracklist
Sizzla
Jamaican singer Sizzla is one of the most prolific and sought-after performers in dancehall history. Sizzla entered the scene at the cusp of the 1990s conscious movement--a trend in dancehall and reggae that moved away from ghetto thug posturing and put the tenets of Rastafarian living and the politics of liberation front and center--and quickly became one of its most successful exponents. Although criticism has been leveled at Sizzla for his outspoken anti-gay statements, he remains one of the most popular figures in reggae, and has released nearly 30 albums between 1995 and 2006 alone.
