Ben Barbic x Craigy T - Close 2 Peace [Review]

March 24, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae

Rating: 4 out of 5

“With true to genre vibe and sound, Ben Barbic and Craigy T serve up ‘Close 2 Peace.’ Lyrically the track calls for peace, while acknowledging how far away such an achievement can feel. This cane be taken as a global scale thought, or simply within your own soul.

The energy is chill even when the pace accelerates. This is a track that makes you ponder after the last beat has faded from the speakers. ”

    Ijahdan Taurus x Echo Lair - Summit [Review]

    February 14, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Reggae

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Delivering a nice Hip-Hop flow over a Reggae vibe, ‘Summit’ is both chill and intense at the same time.

    The prevailing mood is calming and smooth, but lyrically the track has a depth that is worthy of deep reflection. Of course you can ignore that aspect and simply fire one up while letting the calm Reggae waves wash over you, just as easy as you can lean forward and dive into the words enough to break down the deeper meaning. That is the beauty here is that the track offers both in equal doses and vocally, the tone is the perfect compliment to both takes.”

      Flow'etic x Natel - Jelly Water [Review]

      January 31, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “There is a nice fusion of Reggae and Rap to this track. Lyrically, the single is about those fake ass friends we have all had to deal with at one point or another.

      Playing off of a Jamaican proverb the chorus is catchy and hooks you easy enough. The track is fairly chill, with a low key beat and melody. Well produced the blend of music and voices is interwoven to perfection. This one is all about mood and vibe. ”

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “An interesting blend of reggae sounds and electro pop production gives this single a unique sound. Beyond the well-produced single is a sentiment of frustration over violence and the politics that swirl because of and in spite of the onslaught of tragedies.

              This track offers a perspective that is not often at play and this only adds to the difference in sound and vibe. But make no mistake, this is entertaining music as well! ”

                    “Jamie Light brings a unique, yet engaging vocal tone to what I will call a soft, pop-like reggae flow.

                    ’Razor Blade’ is an easy single to sit back and listen to while firing up, or sipping that drink. The groove is a smooth ride and the lyrics complex enough to provoke introspection.”

                                “Though I could have done without the intro, “Megative No Fear” has all the compenents of a great reggae track, smooth accented vocals and a bouncy vibe, mixed with a dose of House! 4/5”

                                  “I’m feeling this! Reggae with a little bit of that dubstep feel. Vocalist also gets two thumbs up! 4.5/5”

                                      “Though I enjoy the chill vibe of this track it’s a little too lackluster for my liking. Vocalist is great tho. Would love to see this performed live”
