Six Degrees of: Sizzla Kalonji

New feature here focuses on the ridiculous. Consider this a trial run, hopefully new editions will make just a bit more sense (but probably not). And feel free to make suggestions (and even completions) at AchisReggae@Hotmail.com.


Sizzla Kalonji


A really long time ago legendary Rock & Roll singer Elvis Presley walked the earth and when he did he-

Worked with musician/arranger Larry Knechtel-

Who in turn worked with infamous producer Rick Rubin-

Who produced for one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups ever, Run DMC-

Which once did a song by the name of 'Roots, Rap, Reggae' alongside the incomparable King Yellowman and-


{Which is the type of tune people like me refer to as "classic" despite the fact that it is clearly AWFUL}

Yellowman worked extensively with my favourite label of all time and yours too, Philip 'Fatis' Burrell & Xterminator-

And of course, a very large part why that label is my favourite is because it guided the early (and dominant) portion of the career of the greatest to ever do it, Sizzla Kalonji.
