NFN Review Zone – MALI MUSIC : The Book of Mali. (RCA Inspiration)

Mali Music is an artist who is described as a “dynamic musical genius” and “an anointed force of nature.” I wasn’t sure what to expect as I started to listen, and the opening “Intro” didn’t give me any clues. The following “Blessed” features a sampled female voice, as the man breaks into hip-hop style akin to Social Club Misfits and Lecrae. “Cry” sees the vocalist shout, over just an acoustic guitar later, joined by some Hendrix FX. The lyrics, were easy to hear but, try as I may, I couldn’t understand what the song was about. Much better was the slower number called “My Blessings.” Mali Music sings “I know that You [God] love me,” with real feeling. I must admit that when Mali Music hasn’t got his “hip-hop” head on, I found the songs quite pleasant. “Yin & Yang” being one such number. “I know that He watches me, I’m included like apostrophe’s” are just some of the words from “World Record.” Other lyrics in this song are; “In a stiletto glass please, I’ll take it all in cash please; I want mine on the floor, you can put it on the dash please.” Now, can you see why I’m confused? I really hope that this man’s music appeals to fans of this genre, and I invite them to send their own thoughts. But, for me, I doubt that I’ll be playing this one again.   5/10.
