Hes awesome, hes been more hip hop in the early years, but he still rocks!

I like that song as well!
I think i like Yell Fire better
But that one is still really good

I REALLY like his lyrics
And the way he mixes reggae with rock is impressive

he has many albums out, and all are great!
Hes not metal, these songs have as much rock as he goes probably, but his reggae songs are gret, and he mixes in a lot of other styles!

Yeah im def gonna check more of his stuff out...there's a guy over here from London I was into in a big way, can't remember his name but his band were Django Thief, it was live instrumental hip hop/reggae with a political conscience...but I cant find anything about them anywhere...what I might do is dig out and upload the EP I bought direct from the artist, and see if I can get back in contact with him, cos I reckon you guys would like his stuff

gingersonny - June 28, 2008 01:34 PM (GMT)
OK about 20 minutes of research and an email and I found out his myspace...his solo stuff is pretty good I love his flow but I'll still upload the EP he did with his band when I get a chance...

Finally found Django Thief's myspace, they havnt logged on for ages so I think the band is in stasis atm, but they got some of their tunes up there that give you a bit of an idea
