| X |  It's not often a singer or deejay records their best work more     | X |
| X |  than twenty-five years after making their debut, but that's        | X |
| X |  exactly what Tippa Irie's done here. The UK mic veteran's latest   | X |
| X |  album is a tour-de-force. It's at once personal and universal,     | X |
| X |  containing songs for dancehall and reggae fans, as well as the     | X |
| X |  crossover market.                                                  | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Tippa always did possess an uncanny instinct for hit songs and     | X |
| X |  catchy hooks, except he's now discovered an extra gear - one that  | X |
| X |  reaches all the way back to his days on sound-system, whilst       | X |
| X |  embracing a raft of fresh musical ideas and rhythms. His           | X |
| X |  collaborators here are Germany's Far East Band, and the chemistry  | X |
| X |  between them has resulted in a dizzying blend of styles, anchored  | X |
| X |  by superb musicianship and production. "Just My Lady" deserves to  | X |
| X |  be a worldwide smash with its loving message and irresistible      | X |
| X |  melodies, just like "Hello Darling" once was.                      | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Tippa's renowned for his all-inclusive, easy-on-the-ear lyrics     | X |
| X |  except he's no pushover, and battle tunes like "Big Talk" and      | X |
| X |  others are among the most hard-hitting of his entire career. "The  | X |
| X |  race is not for the swift, but who can endure," he chants on "In   | X |
| X |  My Way," whilst "One Of Those Days" is a warning to promoters who  | X |
| X |  praise him as "the English Godfather" (which he most certainly     | X |
| X |  is) but want him to perform for little or nothing. He's not        | X |
| X |  saying this out of greed, but from a desire to see his profession  | X |
| X |  treated with more respect. Tippa's legacy is second-to-none of     | X |
| X |  course, as you'd expect of an artist voted Best British Reggae MC  | X |
| X |  for a record three times, but that still won't prepare you for     | X |
| X |  the lyrical walk on the wild side that's "Wine It," produced in    | X |
| X |  conjunction with fellow German band Seeed.                         | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Tippa still doesn't use profanities, and never has. Instead,       | X |
| X |  he'll put the competition to flight with lyrics full of truth and  | X |
| X |  reality, and that audiences from around the world can understand.  | X |
| X |  It's the same message that reggae pioneers like Bob Marley and     | X |
| X |  Jimmy Cliff spread to the four corners of the earth and Tippa's    | X |
| X |  no less of an ambassador, despite having made his breakthrough as  | X |
| X |  a dancehall artist. He too, believes that "reggae music is the     | X |
| X |  heartbeat of the people," and proves it on tracks like "Horns Man  | X |
| X |  Blow," "Truth And Rights" and "Only Jah Jah." Also the             | X |
| X |  unforgettable title track, on which he pays tribute to reggae      | X |
| X |  icons such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly & Robbie and King Tubby,    | X |
| X |  to name but a few. Tippa's father ran a sound-system in Brixton,   | X |
| X |  London, and so when he talks about "feeling the music from         | X |
| X |  birth," he's not kidding. His mic skills date from childhood, and  | X |
| X |  he's now a master craftsman. Listen to "Me And This Mic" for       | X |
| X |  proof, and then consider how many late night sessions on sound-    | X |
| X |  systems like King Tubby's and Saxon it took to transform him into  | X |
| X |  a legend!                                                          | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Some of his biggest records since then have been either chirpy     | X |
| X |  dancehall numbers, or love songs like "Hello Darling" and that     | X |
| X |  wonderful run of hits he enjoyed with Peter Hunnigale and Lloyd    | X |
| X |  Brown throughout the nineties. This was before distinguishing      | X |
| X |  himself on records by Jurassic 5 and the Black Eyed Peas, and      | X |
| X |  then returning to dancehall action with a vengeance, just as a     | X |
| X |  new generation of reggae labels and producers came of age in       | X |
| X |  Europe.                                                            | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  This album tells us a lot about where Tippa's at right now and     | X |
| X |  whilst his art and lyrics are steeped in old school mastery, it's  | X |
| X |  thrilling to hear him push back the boundaries and explore new     | X |
| X |  possibilities just as surely as any youngster.                     | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |

| X |  It's not often a singer or deejay records their best work more     | X |
| X |  than twenty-five years after making their debut, but that's        | X |
| X |  exactly what Tippa Irie's done here. The UK mic veteran's latest   | X |
| X |  album is a tour-de-force. It's at once personal and universal,     | X |
| X |  containing songs for dancehall and reggae fans, as well as the     | X |
| X |  crossover market.                                                  | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Tippa always did possess an uncanny instinct for hit songs and     | X |
| X |  catchy hooks, except he's now discovered an extra gear - one that  | X |
| X |  reaches all the way back to his days on sound-system, whilst       | X |
| X |  embracing a raft of fresh musical ideas and rhythms. His           | X |
| X |  collaborators here are Germany's Far East Band, and the chemistry  | X |
| X |  between them has resulted in a dizzying blend of styles, anchored  | X |
| X |  by superb musicianship and production. "Just My Lady" deserves to  | X |
| X |  be a worldwide smash with its loving message and irresistible      | X |
| X |  melodies, just like "Hello Darling" once was.                      | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Tippa's renowned for his all-inclusive, easy-on-the-ear lyrics     | X |
| X |  except he's no pushover, and battle tunes like "Big Talk" and      | X |
| X |  others are among the most hard-hitting of his entire career. "The  | X |
| X |  race is not for the swift, but who can endure," he chants on "In   | X |
| X |  My Way," whilst "One Of Those Days" is a warning to promoters who  | X |
| X |  praise him as "the English Godfather" (which he most certainly     | X |
| X |  is) but want him to perform for little or nothing. He's not        | X |
| X |  saying this out of greed, but from a desire to see his profession  | X |
| X |  treated with more respect. Tippa's legacy is second-to-none of     | X |
| X |  course, as you'd expect of an artist voted Best British Reggae MC  | X |
| X |  for a record three times, but that still won't prepare you for     | X |
| X |  the lyrical walk on the wild side that's "Wine It," produced in    | X |
| X |  conjunction with fellow German band Seeed.                         | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Tippa still doesn't use profanities, and never has. Instead,       | X |
| X |  he'll put the competition to flight with lyrics full of truth and  | X |
| X |  reality, and that audiences from around the world can understand.  | X |
| X |  It's the same message that reggae pioneers like Bob Marley and     | X |
| X |  Jimmy Cliff spread to the four corners of the earth and Tippa's    | X |
| X |  no less of an ambassador, despite having made his breakthrough as  | X |
| X |  a dancehall artist. He too, believes that "reggae music is the     | X |
| X |  heartbeat of the people," and proves it on tracks like "Horns Man  | X |
| X |  Blow," "Truth And Rights" and "Only Jah Jah." Also the             | X |
| X |  unforgettable title track, on which he pays tribute to reggae      | X |
| X |  icons such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly & Robbie and King Tubby,    | X |
| X |  to name but a few. Tippa's father ran a sound-system in Brixton,   | X |
| X |  London, and so when he talks about "feeling the music from         | X |
| X |  birth," he's not kidding. His mic skills date from childhood, and  | X |
| X |  he's now a master craftsman. Listen to "Me And This Mic" for       | X |
| X |  proof, and then consider how many late night sessions on sound-    | X |
| X |  systems like King Tubby's and Saxon it took to transform him into  | X |
| X |  a legend!                                                          | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  Some of his biggest records since then have been either chirpy     | X |
| X |  dancehall numbers, or love songs like "Hello Darling" and that     | X |
| X |  wonderful run of hits he enjoyed with Peter Hunnigale and Lloyd    | X |
| X |  Brown throughout the nineties. This was before distinguishing      | X |
| X |  himself on records by Jurassic 5 and the Black Eyed Peas, and      | X |
| X |  then returning to dancehall action with a vengeance, just as a     | X |
| X |  new generation of reggae labels and producers came of age in       | X |
| X |  Europe.                                                            | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
| X |  This album tells us a lot about where Tippa's at right now and     | X |
| X |  whilst his art and lyrics are steeped in old school mastery, it's  | X |
| X |  thrilling to hear him push back the boundaries and explore new     | X |
| X |  possibilities just as surely as any youngster.                     | X |
| X |                                                                     | X |
