KABAKA PYRAMID NEW ALBUM THE KALLING FEAT. DAMIAN & STEPHEN MARLEY, BUJU BANTON, PROTOJE, JESSE ROYAL, BLACK AM I
Telling stories of redeemable social value the kalling is a powerful sequel for Kabaka The album not only puts on display Kabaka’s skill in making great songs, but also telling stories of redeemable social value. “Addiction” for instance tells a story of unhealthy relationships most of us have with social media and puts that under a thoughtful microscope for public discourse.
THE KALLING is a powerful sequel for Kabaka because he is able to perform all the duties of his role as artist to culture and society, while fulfilling his duty to himself to improve his dexterity with the medium. Kabaka’s latest offering adds to what is now a tradition of strong albums with reggae sounds juxtaposed against diverse music from funk to jazz and even hip hop.
This fifteen-track marvel provides a sufficient platform for Kabaka to update old and new listeners about his growth and changes since his first album. The production highlights the richness of Reggae music, from the keen perfection of percussion and bass to the sampling of iconic songs of Junior Byles in Faded Away featuring Buju Banton, Peter Tosh in Mystic Man, or Eddie Fitzroy in EZ Ride.
REGGAE SOUNDS JUXTAPOSED AGAINST DIVERSE MUSIC FROM FUNK TO JAZZ AND EVEN HIP HOP.
Damian ‘Jr Gong’ Marley exemplified the richness of Reggae through each production while Kabaka Pyramid honed in on his lyrical craft, delivering through provoking topics while captivating the listener. “THE KALLING is really about my journey in music being for a higher purpose, not just to get rich or popular, but to inspire a higher vibration in whoever listens.
While the majority seek pleasure and sense gratification, there are a few who the Most High kall upon to keep the balance inna earth. Music is what I use to answer the kall” says Kabaka
