| | Burning Spear Creation Rebel CD Burning Spear Discography of CDs
Before Burning Spear (AKA Winston Rodney) moved to Mango Records in the mid-1970s, a period that saw the release of such roots masterpieces as MARCUS GARVEY and MAN IN THE HILLS, he recorded material for producer Clement Dodd at Studio One. CREATION REBEL culls 20 tracks from Spear's Studio One sessions, all of which were recorded between 1969 and 1974. Though Spear's aesthetic would come together in its most stunning fashion on the Mango albums, CREATION REBEL is full of the artist's deep roots sound and trademark Rastafarian themes. In fact, Spear was one of the first Jamaican acts to deal explicitly with colonial history, Black Nationalism, and songs of religious devotion.
Musically, CREATION REBEL does not resemble the sunny rocksteady of Spear's contemporaries at the time; instead, Spear is already defining his signature stripped-down vibe, with an emphasis on rugged rhythms and winding, chant-like vocals. "Swell Headed," for example, floats along in mesmerizing fashion, as does "Door Peeper," Spear's very first single. In addition to the superb material, Dodd's fine production, and the excellent session work from the Studio one musicians, the nine previously unreleased tracks (with rare stereo mixes) here make this a treasure for roots collectors.

NLZ aka WAR MACHINE BIOWhen you think of a war machine you may think of things from a simple gun but it has to be an automatic weapon something that fires rapidly or you might think of some sort of weapon of mass destruction. Someone might even think of a person in such extreme physical shape that there physical skills are like weapons a master of some kind.NLZ aka War Machine’s skills within the studio as a producer and as a MC/lyricists are war like. His steps to becoming a force to be reckoned with are matched only with his courage to withstand the obstacles that come along with being dedicated to his craft/ music and the industry alike. NLZ (Nefariuz Lyrical Zen) Nefariuz meaning wicked! A former soldier with the US Army’s 101st Air Assault Division who hails from East Orange (ILLTOWN) New Jersey home to some of the illest MC’s and across the bridge or through the tunnel to the birthplace of Hip Hop itself. NLZ’s best describes his style as “unorthodox articulation” so you know it wont be lyrics without direction, resurfacing something substantial back into the world of Hip Hop. NLZ has been around music since he was a kid, immersed in the older jazz records his father played, from the likes of George Duke, George Benson, Quincy Jones, and Grover Washington Jr. ignited his interest and laid a foundation of musical curiosity. Growing up in East Orange, New Jersey and experiencing what the hood had to offer a young black mind was an obstacle within itself. From violence to the destruction of individuals through drugs he was fortunate to have a father, a loving Aunt, and Grandparents that played an important role in keeping NLZ focused and from becoming another statistic.At the age of 10 NLZ started to write just to rhyme as well as learning how to play the clarinet. He was mostly inspired by MC’s like T La Rock, Marley Marl & MC Shan, LL Cool, RUN DMC and many others that captivated young minds at that time. Then along came Kool G Rap, GZA, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, NAS and Cormega that made us recognize that we too are capable of greatness.At the age of thirteen he worked on his first demo with Godfather D, cousin to legendary Cool V, Biz Markie’s DJ. Living in East Orange he found his self surrounded by MC’s like Treach and Vinney from Naughty by Nature as well as the Outsiderz and several locally infamous groups. In 1995 while stationed in Korea NLZ formed his first group called the ILL KLIK (the last K is backwards, Ill Klik means Inner city Lyrical Lunatics) which comprised of several MC’s that were from the states. Universal Soldiers was another group that NLZ formed ...
