Sleepy Wonder - Injustice

(No Choice Music/Bug Music)

Sleepy Wonder's latest album 'INJUSTICE' set for release on April 21st, 2009 was worth waiting for.  Sleepy shows incredible versatility as he fuses music genres such as Reggae, House, Garage, Dancehall, Dub, Electronica, Lounge, Reggaeton, R & B, and Hip Hop.  Tracks that stand out are: the first track on the album 'March Up In the Hills' which definitely has a Mikal Rose flavor (conscious listeners will appreciate Sleepy taking them up in the hills.  Track 3 'The World Is In Trouble' takes you back to the 80's with its infusion of House/Garage music, the lyrics are tight and has you moving constantly.  Track 4 is the album's title track 'Injustice' featuring Bobo Dred and is a poignant song that deals with the fact that our sons are being killed every day and the struggle we face to overcome injustice in the world.  Track 5 a remake of 'DJ Business' reminds you of where Sleepy Wonder is coming from and why he won DJ of the Year in 1988!  On track 6 'We Riding' he teams up with singer Brandi on a cool R&B vibe with which listeners will love.  Hip-Hop lovers will appreciate Track 9 'Can't Do Mi Nothing' which features upcoming artist Jiggy and tells the tale of thug wannabe's making the wrong decision to mess with real bad man.  

All in all there are 12 tracks and the album is a winner, Sleepy Wonder exhibits his rapid fire lyrics throughout the album and stays true to his Jamaican roots even as he blends the music that has influenced him outside of Jamaica over the past 20 years.

April 21st, 2009 'Injustice' will be available as a Digital release online and also through all major phone carriers.
