Our Take

COCOA TEA's "Music Is Our Business" is a delightful blend of reggae rhythms and lyrical prowess that showcases the veteran artist's enduring talent. The album opens with the infectious groove of "Hurry Up and Come," setting the tone for a journey through upbeat melodies and socially conscious lyrics.

Throughout the album, COCOA TEA effortlessly merges elements of roots reggae with hints of dancehall, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. Tracks like "Tune In" and "Rastaman" are pure anthems, exuding a vibrant energy that is impossible to resist.

But it's not all about the party vibes - COCOA TEA also delves into more introspective themes on tracks like "Biological Warfare" and "The Time Is Now." These songs showcase the artist's ability to tackle serious issues with depth and sincerity, adding a layer of complexity to an otherwise feel-good album.

Overall, "Music Is Our Business" is a testament to COCOA TEA's status as a reggae legend. With its infectious beats, insightful lyrics, and undeniable charm, this album is a must-listen for fans of the genre. So grab your headphones, press play, and let COCOA TEA's music do the talking - trust us, you won't be disappointed.
