Stephen Marley - Revelation Pt.1 - The Root Of Life

This is a good album better than I expected, its very similar to Exodus era Bob Marley and the Wailers, because it has similar vocals and organ parts. Bob Marley's influence has definitely rubbed off on his family, this is a modern take on the traditional reggae and Rastafarian sound, and the Rastafarians believe Haile Selassie, former emperor of Ethiopia is the re-incarnation of Jesus Christ. ''Rastafari is defiance of Babylon, sometimes also called Rome — in part because of the 1935 Italian invasion of Ethiopia, then ruled by Rastafari's 'Living God,' Haile Selassie I, and partly because as the head of the Roman Catholic church (the Pope) is considered an opponent of Selassie I and Rastafari.'' - Wikipedia. Rastafarians also believe that the process of smoking marijuana gives the smoker greater wisdom and understanding of the world around them, and they refer to a sacred holy text called the Holy Piby, which was banned in Jamaica in the 1920s.

 Highlights include the first track ''Made In Africa'' which offers a rich deep insight into the history of Africa in dialogue and ''Tight Ship'', because it sounds like ''Guiltiness'' which is arguably Bob Marley and the Wailers finest piece of music from their trademark album Exodus, and to sound like some of the pivotal reggae is a good thing.
