CD Reviews

Anthony B rising to the top of reggae music!

jahras pinas | Los Angeles | 03/25/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the last few years, Anthony B has risen to the top of my list of modern reggae artists. In the past, I have ranked him third behind Capleton and Sizzla. But with his string of great albums in the last 4 years (Life Over Death, Higher Meditation, Suffering Man, My Hope, Black Star), he has elevated himself, in my opinion, to the top of reggae's elites. No disrespect to Capleton or Sizza but Anthony B has been more consistent both musically and in touring. In fact, I just saw him at the Dub Club in Los Angeles last week. As usual, the show was wicked! Anthony B in a live show sounds exactly like he does in his recordings, which is wonderful because you can just sing along with him. Even if you don't know all the words, you can just follow along humming and screaming out the words you do know. A spectacular show as expected. He sang two tunes from this album, Iley Iley Selassie I and Where is the Black Man Rights. I can't wait till he comes back again to the LA area.

On this album, my favorites include Better Haffi Come with Chezidek, Iley Iley Sellasie I, Stop Fight Reggae, Enter the Kingdom of Zion with Horace Andy, Rise Again, Give Thanks for Life, and Be Wise with Lukie D. His duets have been getting better and better as he chooses singers that fit well with his voice. I just hope he comes out with another album this year....One love!"
