Burning Up

Sizzla

A fierce debut of militant Rasta consciousness. Gritty mid-nineties riddims meet a vocal performance that oscillates between aggressive barks and soulful cries.

September 5, 1995 · Jahmin' Records

A relentless, confrontational spiritual energy that demands social change through rhythmic fire.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from a gravelly bark to a soaring, vulnerable falsetto on 'How Much'.
The hypnotic, stripped-back bassline of 'Search Fi Hardcore' that carries the entire track's weight.
The raw, unedited passion in the vocal delivery during the final minute of 'Mothers of Nations'.
