Among the billion or so countries who has a very active and talented Reggae scene is the small Caribean islands of Trinidad & Tobago where we find artists such as Marlon Asher, Queen Omega and last but not least Khari Kill who finally has released his debut album. It was a few years in the making and most definitely worth waiting for. Together whit Digital B and the others in New York (where Khari now resides) he made one of the top 10 albums of the year, next to "Lutan Fyah" id say Khari Kill is my favourite Sing jay dj.
Things start out kinda familiar but very strong whit "Bird pepper" who was available to download from Khari's Myspace page some time ago. It's a peculiar title but deals whit the current state of our youths whit some pleas to praise Selassie I thrown in. It's a nice uptempo cut bound to please. Next, we get more of the same (good) stuff whit "Humble as a lamb" where he serves us another dose of uptempo positivity, being of Scandinavian origins I'm kinda curious about the references made to Finland.
"Mary grandson" is among the more well known cuts on here, saying it's a hit may be too much but people into reggae should have heard of it. It's a call for peace among the poor people in the ghetto's and that inevitable criticism of Babylon who under the banner of police and military get away whit murder and violence, anotha strong tune but not the best on here. There is a couple of "smoke weed" songs on here such as "Smoking around" and "Marijuana pumpin" (built around the same riddim as Marlon Ashers hit "Ganja Farmer"). Usually the weed songs are not my favourite type of reggae songs but these 2 are very good and should not be ignored.
It would be crazy to not include the huge cultural anthem "Picture of Selassie" on here and of course it's on here, this was the tune who introduced me to Khari Kill in the first place and still remains my favourite song, check the video on youtube to this song where Khari can be seen in a classroom full of kids handing out photos of H.I.M. to the students, a great video full of goosebumb inducing footage of Haile Selassie I.
To sum things up i would have to say that this is one of the major albums of the year (god knows how many obscure but amazing albums i am missing out on) and one that has to be purchased, even if you like me is starting to think that there is too many singjay's out there. Not to be missed.

Khari Kill
Picture Of Selassie
Label/Vertrieb über: Megaphon Importservice / Veröffentlichung: 09.10.2007 
(redI) - Genau wie Chezidek hatte Khari Kill einen Big-Tune auf Bobby Konders "Truth & Rights"-Riddim & legt nun nicht zuletzt aufgrund dieses Erfolges ein komplettes Album nach. Dieses kommt bei einem kleinen amerikanischen Label heraus und steht den beiden o.g. Major-Produktionen in nichts nach. Ein fettes Album von einem Singjay, dessen Namen man sich jetzt erst recht merken muß.

Getextet im November 2007

I had never heard of Khari Kill before recieving this album in the mail but I'm god damn glad someone decided we needed to cover it. I didn't Google Khari or check him on Wikipedia, I just put in the CD and vibed. This is the best reggae/dancehall I've heard in a minute. Khari drops some serious Rastafarian overstanding but still varies his subject matter. From the weed dealer just trying to support his grandmother on Mary Grandson, to preaching the dangers of meat eating on Mad Cow, to Khari's love song As I Am where he speaks on educating his woman about Selassie and Rasta ways. And the production is sick. Bobby Konders handles three tracks, which not coincidently are some of my favorites, especially Free Jah Cure. On this song Khari speaks on reggae legend Jah Cure and his imminent release from prison, and really about all those that are unjustly imprisoned. How good is this album? My girlfriend who doesn't smoke weed or listen to much reggae, is always singing along when Marijuana Pumping is on, "Marijuana got my mind pumpin'..." Picture of Selassie is a classic album end to end; one for my Top 5 Albums of 2007 list for sure.

Born in the ghetto of La Horqutta in Trinidad and currently based in Brooklyn NY, Khari Obafemi Williams -- known in reggae circles as Khari Kill -- can be regarded as one of the most promising new conscious singjays to emerge in recent times. In 2005 he recorded the single "Picture Of Selassie", a cut on Massive B's refurnished version of Johnny Osbourne's "Truths & Rights" riddim, which instantly put his name on the reggae map as it hit the reggae charts worldwide. More singles followed including "Mary Grandson" (again for Massive B), "Bird Pepper", "Jesus", "Marijuana Pumping", "Feeling U" (all of them for Outta D. Ghetto Inc.) and "While I'm Living" (Lustre Kings), which aroused new attention from Brooklyn to Berlin, Trinidad to Tokyo.
And now Khari Kill's much anticipated first full length album -- just like his very successful debut single titled "Picture Of Selassie" -- has been released by record label Outta D. Ghetto Inc. The 15-track cd features songs that rage against oppression, poverty, racism, injustice and evil principalities in both high and low places. Of course there's "Picture Of Selassie", one of the strongest tunes included on this set. But there are more great efforts around, each of them unmistakable showing that Khari Kill is a major talent.
"Bird Pepper" is a very strong album opener, which is delivered over the solid "Sign" riddim. Khari Kill tells a wonderful story with "Mary Grandson" across Massive B's "Jah Love" riddim, actually a remake of Yabby You's "Warning Da Nation". The real nice "Reality" riddim underpins "Smoking Around", the first of two solid herb tunes included here, the other being "Marijuana Pumping" over Marlon Asher's "Ganja Farmer" riddim. Even though "Free Jah Cure" can be seen as an 'outdated' tune because the Cure has already been released, it's still worth of hearing. Great lyrics and an awesome riddim track make "Jesus" one of the stand outs. It's followed by the solid "Mad Cow" on the "Patience" riddim and the great Lustre Kings production "While I'm Living", which utilizes the "New Day" riddim.
Overall this is a truly worthwhile debut album from an artist who has the skill and talent to become a powerful force in conscious reggae music. |
