WWW,
August 21 2014 - This is the official
release date of the 12th and final track of the album
"Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight
Dubwise Selection Without Objection".
Here is: Lone Ranger - Rock And Come In
Dubwise. To
close of this twelve-track presentation of
heavyweight Dubwise selections introducing
an equal number of original Dubroom riddims
fresh from the studio in August 2014,
another legendary MC. It's amazing how the
Lone Ranger, just like all these other
legends featured on this album, is still
strong after all these decades of really
hard, hard labor in the world of Reggae
Music and Sound Systems everywhere.
The Dub
starts of with Don Goliath singing that well
known phrase which gave the title to this
track. Don't think this is a remake of
anything, though. It's not. What it is, is
an original "Riddim of respect" if
you will. Respect to all those vocalists
riding the musical productions and
especially those that can and should be
considered legends.
Yes, in
2014 everything looks like as if everything happened
in one time. There's the mid-late 1960's U
Roy became founding father of the Reggae
DJ's, followed by Dennis Alcapone. Then came the
1970's, when Dillinger and Trinity became
two of the leading voices in the militant
Roots Reggae DJ era and Kojak & Liza was
formed. Soon after that, the 1980's when
Horseman started in the 1980's recording for
Greensleeves Records.
And in
fact, it is.
During the
introduction, Lone Ranger says: "Later,
will be greater. That's what the farmer said
to the potato without planting the
manipulator". Now, this 2014, could
be that later. We've had all kinds of
manipulated potatoes in the form of
hybridized forms of music taking everything
but the true soul of Reggae Music and turn
it into whatever it is since these 1960's
when the "potato" was
planted.
One thing
still stands strong: (DUB) Reggae Music with
that soul of Reggae Music firmly in charge.
With respect for the Most High, chanting
down Babylon with her ism's and schisms. Built
on a solid foundation of drum and bass,
making responsible use of the freedom that
the Most High wants for His children.
Yes,
indeed: just a little meditation to close
the first full length Messian Dread album
since almost a decade.
