Sizzla

Well i am going to blog about the dancehall legend Sizzla Kalonji.

Sizzla is an icon in the dancehall scene who is still to this day producing tracks even though he exploded in 1995.

Sizzla Kalonji is Rastafarian and has been since he was born to 2 Rastafarian parents.

Sizzla is devoted to his religon and was even banned from England because of his beliefs and lyrics about homosexuality. In which he opposes homosexuality completely.


Sizzla Kalonji has released over 45 solo albums and over fifteen combination albums, crossing different genres of reggae.

Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in reggae music. By recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality and social consciousness. About Issues such as police corrupting influence, the disenfranchisement of ghetto youth, oppression of the black nation and Sizzla's abiding faith in God and resistance against perceived agents of oppression.


Sizzla is an icon to me because since i was a little kid. Sizzla has produced songs where the lyrics might be conterversial but i still believe it is his opinion and it is what he believes in. If his lyrics were so irrational then they would sell and people wouldnt want to listen to what he was saying and he wouldnt be a dancehall icon as he is today.
