Reggae vocalist Junior Reid (“Mr One Blood”) teamed up with DJ Power to put out a mixtape which succesfully defends the (mediocre) title: Why I’m Hot. It’s really good, especially the first quarter — street rap thuggery & synth beats coexist with conscious lyrics, sweet vox, etc. “Superstar reggae music singer” according to his MySpace ‘Occupation’ field.
buyable here (itunes). 47 tracks (!), several barely over a minute, several mislabeled, its hard to know where to begin….

I don’t think JR is from Ghana…red, gold, and green are Rasta colors. Also, he has the lion of Judah in the background of this cd….

its similar to the afro-american flag, where red represents the blood of out people, green represents our lost homeland of Africa, and Black represents our color. There flag replaces gold with black, I have been told this is to represent the natural wealth of the land in Africa.
