"Hail the King" by Akae Beka, An EXCELLENT Roots Reggae Album

[@nattybongo1039]

Vaughan Benjamin by midnight is the artist who really takes this music inna different level and quality,i can say no one can play like Vaughan,i still give all the artists love and raspect to all but when it comes to Vaughan its something different how he put higher knowledge and wisdom i always salute Vaughan and all the crews band rastafari anthem forever more(we really miss Vaughan Benjamin RIP?

Nuff respect! Give thanks for this comment.

[@gunnarthomas3824]

Big respect for understanding the depth, intellectual and historical content of Vaughn Benjamin's lyrics. I feel that so many people unintentionally forgo the depth of these contexts in his song writing. As for the players of instruments, they truly empower classic roots reggae while channeling their local Saint Croix, USVI roots through the music. Akae Beka / Midnite is the best roots reggae band to exist in this spacetime since the "Golden Age" (circa 1974-1982) of reggae music. Thanks for such a well articulated and love-filled review. I look forward to many more from you. Peace, love, light, and balance.

I was surprised in a way how good this was when it first came out. It really captures that midnite feel.

[@HOBBYMONEY]

I am from St. Croix, Virgin Islands...this is our band...I like your detailed explanation.

[@iriereviews]

The VI has some of the rootsiest of roots reggae. I've been tuned in to VI reggae since 2005.

[@DEPARTUERS19]

I'm from USA it's our band too .....🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@noblegakaka4652]

Another Akae Beka album is out titled "Meka A Menshun"...another great piece of work...If thats the place your heart wanted to be don't take it for granted lightly....

[@iriereviews]

Been listening for a couple of weeks now.

Greetings from the Heart of Old Europe, where the pine line the hillside for as far as the eye can see, and birds sing their way into your everyday! I write about your review of Earth Repair. It will shock and stun many, i & i think, when you grasp the key idea embedded in this tune. Don't scorn them, Don't despise them - Unlikely candidates - Used to their comfort and Steak.... now in this is a revelation. Who was the "Unlikely Candidate" who was used to their comfort and Steak? Relisten and play through the US 2016 election. I don't speak this off my own overstanding. It was confirmed to I by an Elder who worked on the Hail The King Album along with Vaughn.... And BOOM there it is!

Great review! Didn't know their was a VI Reggae nerdom. Found my home :P Subscribed!

[@iriereviews]

LOL. Hey Daniel. Not a VI nerdom per se, but if you want roots reggae that's faithful to the cause of reggae, VI roots artists don't disappoint.

[@christianlark2796]

Love your reviews, such a great idea. Keep up the good work! /Christian from Sweden

Welcome! Happy you stopped by.

[@colinp2377]

Thanks for making these reviews! Amazing album. Are you coming to any of the bay area shows this month?

[@iriereviews]

Hi Colin, I appreciate your comment. Thanks. I'm planning to be at the New Parish on May 19. I was there in December too, which is where I captured that background video in the intro and end of this review.

[@colinp2377]

@@iriereviews Nice. I'll be there. I was at the December one, too! Thought that looked familiar.

[@iriereviews]

@@colinp2377 yeah man!!! Unfortunately, I had to leave after a couple songs.

[@binkydamauler]

im gonna try to see them at New Parish. i live near Santa Cruz, but Moe's is too stuffy, lol ☝🏾❤☝🏾🔥

[@colinp2377]

Listened to Mek a Menshun yet?? Looking forward to your review whenever it comes.

[@iriereviews]

Bro, been listening since last week but it's a hard digest. Akae Beka with the complicated lyrics!

[@colinp2377]

@@iriereviews Totally. Can't believe how often they're able to put LPs out. And the quality is just so high every time

[@iriereviews]

@@colinp2377 this is what blows my mind. A few of the instrumentals are from riddims ZIK put out a couple years ago. Lutan Fyah and Arkaingelle used some of the riddims.
