So I'm a bit late on Damian Marley's new album...

...as it came out way back in September 2005. But I'm enjoying the hell out of it nonetheless. Great beats and some poignant, political lyrics. From the title track, Welcome to Jamrock (Jamrock being Jamaica):

dem suit no fit me
to win election dem trick we
den dem don't do no-ting at all

come on, let's face it
a ghetto education's basic
an most of the youths them waste it

an when dem waste it
dat's when dem take de guns, replace it
den dem don't stand a chance at all...


Here's a nice review of Damian Marley's new album from some random high school newspaper's music reviewer.
