\ˈkän-trə-band\ (noun)

Close your eyes, centre yourself and take a deep breath – it's finally here! Kabaka Pyramid's debut album Kontraband is out, and there's no going around it, nor taking it lightly. Where to start on a feat like that? With the breathtakingly impressive cover-art-work by Qahdir Maharaj maybe, because that's the first thing you see? Or with the executive producer who is none less than Damian "Junior Gong" Marley, a name that in itself guarantees high quality? Best, probably, is to start with the artist himself. In his 2017 interview with colleague Angus Taylor, Kabaka explained that "Kontraband represents me and my music (…). The system and society, they don't want you to have this message (…). Each song is like a different item of contraband, and each is going to break down some walls within the person, barriers that are blocking themselves from true self-expression and individuality."

    Great cd/album. I love EVERY song. Good lyrics, riddims, and production. Probably the best song though is blessed is the man, with chronixx. A tribute song to haile selassie
