Reggae Roast continues to establish itself as a top quality imprint for exciting new roots music with ‘Evolution’, the new single from Ghetto Priest, which follows the extremely popular ‘Serious’ debut 45 from The Hempolics. Stephen Townsend aka Ghetto Priest is one of the most flamboyant and creative performers to have emerged from the current UK Reggae scene. He honed his vocal talents and artistic persona around the sound system dances of the early 80s, before beginning his illustrious recording career. In 2004 Ghetto Priest released his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Vulture Culture’ for On-U Sound, produced by Adrian Sherwood, and then went on to record lead vocals for Asian Dub Foundation on their hit album ‘Enemy Of The Enemy’. He is currently working on his latest album ‘Sacred Ground’, again with Adrian Sherwood, backed by the legendary Dub Syndicate band, scheduled for released in Spring 2011. ‘Evolution’ is a prime example of Ghetto Priest’s dynamic and emphatic vocal talent. He posses a raw energy and emotion un-matched by many artists of this generation and while constantly pushing at the boundaries of roots music, his style strongly maintains the essence of his Jamaican heritage. This track is a perfect example of how Ghetto Priest’s work can satisfy the body on the dance floor, while at the same time provoke reflection within the minds of his listeners.
ONE LOVE BROTHER.
