Editorial Reviews

Cocoa Tea's Israel's King boasts guest appearances from a variety of reggae luminaries, from Sly Dunbar to Luciano, who offers his vocals on the fine duet "Rough Inna Town." Some of the songs don't amount to much more than endless jams, but the seamless production of Phillip "Fattis" Burrell makes even the weaker songs palatable. ~ Leo Stanley, All Music Guide --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

While he has never put out sub-par efforts, this is certasinly Cocoa Tea's best effort in a few years. His voice and messages are as strong as ever, but his delivery of the goods is finding a new level. This lp is filled with superb message tracks, and the music still shows cocoa as a master of the dancehall style.

An lp well worth checking out, give this one a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coco Tea still conscious after all these years, December 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Israel's King (Audio CD)

People get ready for the man whose consciousness rivals the late great Mister Marley. Coca Tea presents us with with some lethal tunes that make one give thanks to Jah. Israel King is, no doubt, one of the better songs floating about the music scene. There's no Hope gives us hope that Coca Tea will be around longr still while Hurry Up and Come begs for Mr Tea to do that with some more tunes. Listen to this album once and you might want to locks the hair and live like how Jah intended you to.
