Our Take

Album Review: I-ROY, "Dread Bald Head"

I'll admit, when I first saw the title of I-ROY's latest album, "Dread Bald Head," I was a bit confused. Is this a concept album about the struggles of being a bald musician in the reggae industry? Or maybe a commentary on the duality of dreadlocks and baldness? But once I started listening, I quickly realized that I-ROY is simply serving up some classic reggae vibes that are perfect for shaking your dreadlocks, bald head or not.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you can't help but be swept up by I-ROY's infectious energy. His signature vocal style is as smooth as ever, effortlessly riding the groovy basslines and skanking rhythms. The songs are filled with catchy hooks and clever wordplay, showcasing I-ROY's mastery of the genre.

One standout track is "Bald and Bad," where I-ROY embraces his lack of hair with pride, declaring, "I may be bald, but I'm still bad to the bone." It's a testament to his confidence and charisma, proving that true talent transcends physical appearance.

Overall, "Dread Bald Head" is a solid addition to I-ROY's discography. It's fun, funky, and full of that classic reggae spirit that will have you grooving from start to finish. So whether you're sporting dreadlocks, a bald head, or anything in between, this album is definitely worth a listen. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
