It just may be the greatest reggae album I have ever heard. The only competition comes from early Yellowman and Sizzla's other albums. When he hits that high note in "Lovely Morning"...

Going through the annals of my collection of Sizzla Kalonji records (about 20 now) I came across Freedom Cry and its UK/Jamaican counterpart "Kalonji" and I realized that I hadn't really ever sat down and listened to it, even though I pretty much already knew just about every tune by heart except for the title track. Anyway, I put it on, and it put out such an incredible vibe that everybody in my house was just sitting around knocking their heads and just feeling the beautiful lyrics on this one. Everybody already knows about Black Woman & Child, and Praise Ye Jah, which both were released the year before this one, and this one went pretty much overlooked. (I bought it, and overlooked it for about 3 years) But its an album like this one and Burning Up, and Good Ways, and Royal Son of Ethiopia that helps build Sizzla's legend outside of his 2 legendary, classic records. This one is absolutely cleansed of all bad tunes and just truly a wonderful record. My favorite tunes include, Freedom Cry, the wonderful Saturated, the hit Rain Showers, which was so good that it was released as a download single in the US and did pretty well, Till It Some More, Real, and my absolute favorite Ancient Memories, which he does so well in concert. Overall, I say, if you like Sizzla and you don't have this one, then certainly pick this one up, if you haven't already. And if you have it, then put it on, its truly a wonderful project.

To state the obvious would be moot. Just listen to "Made Of" & "Dem Ah Try Ah Ting" & tell me you don't feel the fury & fire of this young prophet. All killa no filla, this is his strongest output to date; supa props to Xterminator for beats & production. The Righteous shall stand, the weak heart shall drop. Prince Far I & Peter Tosh are smiling gleefully right now. Praise H.I.M.!!!!

i think sizzla is the best reggae artist because he speaks the truth in all his lyrics fire bun pope paul fire bun babylon fire bun all false preachers JAH RASTAFARI LIVETH FOR IVER

One Of Sizzla's Best.......
Teaching the youths more about the "babylonian" System in "Real"
Telling us about "What does Black people Made of.."
And guiding us to not go astray....not envy our brethren.
Sizzla Fire "bun down" all governmental "downpression"

This is a great CD and a must have for any sizzla fan.

The first time I heard his music I wasn't too keen on listening to him again, but a strange vibe came to me and I realized that he was one of Jah's messengers. His lyrics are hard core but true, I believe probably that's what I like most about him. It is nice to see positive people promoting positive vibes. If I had one wish concerning Sizzla it would be to meet him and share some of his knowledge. I must say he is truly gifted.
