Our Take

Ah, Prince Far I, the legend himself, gracing us with his regal presence on "Under Heavy Manners." This album is a true testament to Far I's unmatched skill and unmistakable style.

From the moment the first track hits your ears, you are transported to a world where heavy basslines reign supreme and Far I’s commanding vocals reign supreme. Each track on this album is a journey in itself, taking you on a musical adventure through the soundscape of reggae and dub.

Far I’s lyrical prowess is on full display here, with each song delivering a powerful message wrapped in his signature patois delivery. Tracks like "No More War" and "Message From the King" showcase Far I’s ability to combine political commentary with infectious rhythms that will have you moving and grooving in no time.

The production on "Under Heavy Manners" is top-notch, with each track expertly crafted to highlight Far I’s vocals while creating a space for the instruments to shine. The dub influences are strong on this album, adding an extra layer of depth to the already rich sonic tapestry.

Overall, "Under Heavy Manners" is a must-listen for any fan of reggae and dub music. Prince Far I’s legacy lives on through this incredible album, proving once again why he is truly one of the greats. Long live Prince Far I!
