Metric Man

I checked my inbox and saw some tracks from someone called Metric Man. I thought it was the usual "straight to trash" music that some label wants me to plug, but I check dude's tracks on myspace and was kind of surprised to hear something that I liked.

There's some flashes of Anthony B, Chuck Fender, and a smidge of Capleton in his chat and melodies which is never a bad thing. He's got some conscious stuff too if that's your bag.

Lots of goods riddims too.

Check him out and grab the album zip below.

Chuck Fenda

I love dancehall and all it's slack ways even if it doesn't promote a positive message, but when it does have a positive message and carries a big tune I think that is when it is at it's best.

Case and point = Chuck Fenda.

The Poor People's Defenda has a way of making big tunes with good messages and although this album is a bit old it is still one of the better modern day dancehall LPs.

Lots of big tunes like "Gash Dem" which was banned from several radio stations. "Gwaan Plant" , "Freedom Speech" , and "Judgement".


Run it.
