After three deadly discs in our Maffi series Solo Banton is back with a vengeance and a full EP,
flinging
big
tunes, the mic and nunchuks alike with the ease of a Shaolin master that would even
have made Mr. Miyagi proud.
Starting the ride, "Music Addict" is setting fire to dancefloors with an almost pyromaniac delight
while
still
nicing up the area big time. Solo continues to spin a yarn about your friendly neighbour-
hood
robbers in "Put It Back", his belt buckle slashing out just as hard as the beats. Witness an
epic
martial arts battle in "Kung Fu Master", when 'Black Belt' Banton enters the dojo, riding the
knucklebuster basslines crane style
and shows Jet Li how it should be done. Keeping up the
fighting
spirit and finishing the trip is "One Of The
Greatest", written during and about the people's
struggle
for freedom in the 'Arab spring' earlier this year.
All tracks have been produced by disrupt, who fills in the gaps with "Arcade Addict" and "Last Blade"
to
guarantee an extra-smooth overall flow of the matter. (Older versions of those songs can be
found
in our net release section HERE and HERE).
To celebrate the 10TH 12inch on Jahtari, Ellen from MyLordSound designed an extra-breathtaking
cover
in the tradition of the classic Scientist series.
