Six years on from VP records' The Story Unfolds, the idiosyncratic and mercurial Bobo sing-jay Sizzla Kalonji is well overdue another retrospective. And this nicely-presented effort by VP's new acquisition, Greensleeves, including a bonus DVD, gives each chapter of the chronicle a fair hearing, even if the odd key verse has inevitably been missed out.

- It also delivers the goods in terms of being hard-hitting and powerful when it needs to be, with some strong, blood-thirsty violence with a lot of loud bangs present in some scenes. However it is the performances that are really noteworthy. Taylor has a certain sexiness to her in her role, a sort of strong black woman type which has appeal.
Sizzla's received a lot of flak for perceived changes to his voice. The reality is he's never stopped changing it. From aggressive shouting to wolf-like howls and high pitched feline wails, he's taken his now ravaged pipes in every possible direction, cutting astonishing tunes over some of Jamaica's most iconic rhythm tracks.
Jamaican women attain far higher grades in school and have higher literacy rates than Jamaican men, and middle-class women have attained levels of respect and career performance that are commensurate with their counterparts in North America and Europe. The darker side of a Jamaican woman’s life is the proliferation of sexual violence.
These range from the ruminative (Just One Of Those Days on Bobby Digital's relick of John Holt's Queen Majesty) to the uplifting (Good Ways using Digital's version of Alton Ellis' classic Studio 1 piece, Breaking Up) to the heavily prophetic (Africa Prepare on Frenchie's re-interpretation of Lee Perry's Blackboard Jungle). We also hear evidence of his more recent interest in hip hop and R&B with Give Me A Try and Rise To The Occasion (for Donovan Bennett aka Don Corleon).
Of course, an overview of such an important artist is bound to solicit some grumbles, the most trenchant being that not enough time is devoted to Sizzla's early work, which set the standard for sing-jaying in the 90s. What's more, his mellower side predominates: for a taste of the shouty Sizzla check the raw, camera mic recorded footage on the DVD. However, it's understandable that a best of, aimed at a wide audience, would avoid anything too uncompromising on the ear, although the odd smattering of homophobia is on display.
There are a few glaring omissions, particularly Solid As A Rock – both the cut from his Da Real Thing album, or his equally worthy Damon Dash-produced remake - but all in all, this is a good summary of a career that has constantly flouted convention and expectation. The Journey is a sometimes jarring mix of reflection, belligerence, political incorrectness and religious fervour - just like Sizzla himself.

Rita, Sizzla toast of gala
SIZZLA Kalonji and Rita Marley will be this year's honorees at the Independence Gala slated for the National Stadium in Kingston on Tuesday, August 6.
Andrew Clunis, director of marketing and public relations at the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission, shared how the selections were made.
“There's a gala committee that looks at these things. In the case of Rita Marley, she has been there with Bob Marley who we love and celebrate. She, in her own right has made her own contribution as a female in the reggae industry. She has been a woman of the music industry for a long time.. She has done her part and we feel it is necessary for us to honour her in this way,” Clunis told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.
“In the case of Sizzla, he was at the forefront of bringing the culture to dancehall music, bringing some consciousness to the industry and creating another generation of artistes to carry this on. We believe it's time to honour him in that regard as well,” he continued.
Rita Marley (nee Anderson) began her music career in the 1960s as a member of the Soulettes. In 1973, she became part of the I-Three, along with Judy Mowatt, and Marcia Griffiths. Together they provided back-up vocals for Bob Marley. He died in May 1981 of cancer.
As a solo artiste, Rita Marley had several albums, including Who Feels It Knows It (1980), Harambe (1982), and We Must Carry On (1991). In 1996, she was awarded the Order of Distinction by the Jamaican government for her contribution to music. Her Rita Marley Foundation seeks to aid in poverty alleviation and hunger in developing countries.
In recent years, the Marley matriarch has suffered a series of strokes that has impeded her speech and movement. In March, she, Griffiths and Mowatt, were presented with the Icon Award by the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association.
Sizzla emerged on the reggae-dancehall scene in the late 1990s with his album Black Woman and Child. He followed up with a string of hits including Thank you Mama, Dry Cry (Just One of Those Day), Solid as a Rock and Give Me a Try.
Outside of the music industry, Sizzla has also played his part in community development. He established the Sizzla Youth Foundation to assist August Town youth in overcoming struggles and providing a haven from violence.
A whopping $85 million has been allocated for this year's Independence Gala, up from $77 million last year.
“This year marks the beginning of the celebration of decade for people of African descent as designated by the United Nations. So this year we will have a more Afro-centric presentation. A lot of work has gone into improving the choreography and the narration to tell a more cohesive story. We also plan to put on the biggest firework show Kingston has ever seen,” Clunis added.
The show will feature performances from Marion Hall, Koffee and Sister Patt.
