Reviews from World A Reggae
"From outta St Ann, Jamaica, We have the new EP from Akinsanya title 'Dub Trafficka' and its a little different to current releases out in the scene. In Akinsanya's music, you can hear hard graft and thoughtfulness with his lyrics.
His influence and style comes from his background, from hardworking parents and using his experiences within school to pursue the arts and become a word smith. Dub Trafficka is a nice EP and very easy listening, it doesn't throw religion or opinions down your throat. The riddims are constructed well, which you'd expect from a member of the Uprising Roots Band and is out on the Junior Wize Production / Tru Music imprint." ...read more



Reviews from Zona Reggae (Roomania)
"Akinsanya este numele unui artist jamaican pasionat de dub poetry, acesta remarcându-se fiind totodată ca fiind și clăparul celor de la The Uprising Roots Band.
Akinsanya colaborează cu japonezii de la Junior Wize Production și lansează la finalul lui martie un EP solo, numit Dub Trafficka EP. Noua creație conține cinci piese, dintre care trei vocale și două instrumentale, acestea din urmă fiind dominate de sunete de clavietă.
Subiectele folosite de Akinsanya pe EP ating teme precum consumul de marijuana, apărarea dreptăților sau răutațile la care suntem supuși zilnic de babylon. Vă lăsăm în continuare în compania întregului material." ...read more



Reviews from eventireggae.it (Italy)
"Dub Trafficka è il nuovo lavoro discografico che segna la collaborazione tra l’etichetta giapponese Junior Wize Production e Akinsanya, tastierista dei The Uprising Roots Band. L’ep contiene cinque tracce dalle sonorità dub, con la solida presenza della melodica che conferisce all’album una profonda misticità.
Nella prima song, West Side Herb, Akinsanya si cimenta in una raffinata dub poetry che esalta le numerose proprietà della ganja e come essa sia “source of inspiration, over standing and wisdom”. Seguono Egyptian Serenade e Eye Rise, due brani strumentali dalle vibrazioni ipnotiche, di cui l’ultimo prodotto proprio dai The Uprising Roots Band.
Defender Of The Faith è un brano accompagnato da percussioni nyabinghi e da lyrics di preghiera e lode a Jah. Seconda ganja-tune dell’album è l’ottima Babylon Wah Gang Jah, quinta e ultima track che promuove la legalizzazione della lambs bread.
Dub Trafficka è disponibile nei principali store digitali. Qui di seguito trovate cover, tracklist e l’ascolto del brani." ... read more
