Chezidek
Hello Africa
Chezidek the Herbalist, the Rastafarian roots and culture
singer from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica.
He emerged upon the scene in 2002 with his first album
Harvest Time on VP Records, produced by Phillip Fattis
Burrell of Exterminator Records. Chezideks unique voice
and melodies combined with cultural, spiritual and political
topics which quickly earned him a place in the hearts
of Reggae fans in Jamaica and worldwide. Chezidek
has performed before thousands of fans in Jamaica, the
Caribbean, the United States and Europe on most of
the major Reggae festivals. He has worked with popular
producers such as Bobby Digital, Don Corleone, and Sly
and Robbie as well as European based producer Jah Solid
Rock, who released two albums with Chezidek, Judgement
Time and more recently, The Order Of Melchezedik, both
for Hearbeat Europe. Chezidek is one of a select few
roots singers who sticks to conscious lyrics in his music and
never veers into popular hype. As a youth, coming from
the home of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, Robert Nesta
Marley and Burning Spear, Chezidek was influenced by
the ancient Rastafarian tradition and his African roots. He
is a man of righteousness inspired by the Most High Jah
Rastafar I.
Hello Africa is his second collection of songs to be released
in three months, following Timeless, a set he did with
Ligerians, a French band. Hello Africa, which features
several of Jamaica's top musicians including guitarist
Mitchum "Khan" Chin and keyboardist Robbie Lyn, maybe
the Jamaican roots singer's most militant work to date.
