With a name that translates to “fearless one,” it would be expected that Jamaica’s newest rap-reggae artist, Tafari, would create a truly unique debut album. Luckily these expectations are more than met on his debut single, Ain’t No Stoppin’, which shows listeners just how strong willed he is (”If life’s the Olympics, I’m going for the gold”). Adding fuel to the fire on a deceptively soft hook is reggae legend Junior Reid, but The Hit Depot‘s synth-keyboard beat (a la The Runners) is what really keeps the flames rising. The hip-hop/reggae scene needs to sound the alarm, because Tafari is on fire and shows no signs of cooling off.
that dude looks really angry like he is going to kill the track but he didnt do nothing but piss me off. The beat is worth 2 stars sorry Tafarty your worth no stars.
I have never heard of this guy, but it sounds like a good idea for an artist to merge reggae and rap in one. It has been done before, but he could be successful. This is a cool track but it could be a little stronger. The Beat is good too. I want to hear more from him for sure!
DJ blaze, in an interview i read of him he is asked he thinks it will be hard to make it as a Jamaican rapper he said :
"No, it-s not difficult because I am not trying to rap."...". Put the music out there, quality music, music that-s different, a fresh sound, like a breath of fresh air. That-s what I will bring."---
Certianly sounds like he will live up to his expectations in 08'
on the real theres alot of reggae artist that wont get the time of day from the big wigs in the industry even though they are way better lyricist. its understandable that they sound different but it seems like theres not a club in the country that doesnt bang reggae through their speakers why not put em on radio
