Azeem

Let Them Talk

Splash-U

Azeem doesn’t quite quench your thirst for Jah-driven reggae. Not to say that he lacks the foresight of the others before him, but his message seems trivial, almost absent of the world around him. I enjoy reggae with a lesson, ready to reveal itself to those with open ears and minds. Let Them Talk is best suited for those Jamaican Me Crazy nights. Must social-consciousness be an afterthought? Azeem’s a bit to casual for a burnin’ and a lootin’! Splash U Records, P.O. Box 22482, Seattle, WA 98122
