Khari Kill - Picture of Selassie
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
print | email

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.
