Heart Ah Joy This re-mastered release of Sabbattical Ahdahs
first release is a must-have for those who know (or want to know) about the Virgin Islands
roots music movement. Sabbattical Ahdah is one of the most renowned
artists in St. Croix, with a large following developing in the US and the Caribbean. His
unique vocal delivery and intense lyrics, combined with strong production make this album
a powerful listening experience. - More
Achi's Reggae Blog:
If
history can repeat itself (and it can) then EVERYTHING
would tell you to bank on Revalation becoming the next
big thing out of the VI Reggae-wise because that same
Studio 340 unit (340 being the area code for St. Thomas
where Pond is also from I believe) is on board for the
debut of Revalation, the very well done Serious Matters.
I have to say that I had NEVER even seen Revalation (nor
his curiously spelled name) on any of the mixtapes that
I routinely get from out of the VI which is astonishing
to me as when I really got into the album you can
OBVIOUSLY see what is going on with his talent level. I
would make the comparison here to when I first heard
Turbulence (everyone else as well) and noticed how much
he, too having developed in the same Xterminator camp,
sounded like Sizzla. Revalation sounds quite a bit like
Pressure and just like Turbulence in the case of Sizzla,
he too has things which he does better and not as good
as Pressure Busspipe.
