It is a well known fact that Hip Hop is the child of
Reggae. Founded in the 1970’s, the genre
celebrated MC’s toasting over the breaks of funk and R&B records. Toronto’s upcoming artist, Tha Vor, is the epitome of Reggae and
Hip Hop combined.
Using his voice to share knowledge about life, the teachings
of our ancestors and modern day issues, Tha Vor is not shy when addressing
these matters through music. The artists
re-released single “King of Glory” is a perfect example of the artists
convictions expressed through song.
Performing to deep bass riddim, the artist chants: “In
the beginning was the WORD / and the WORD was GOD / and the WORD was made flesh
/ Once him come conquer death now again pon earth / truth manifest / This time
every knee a fi bow every tongue confess / Behold in 1780 the sun was darkened
and the moon gave not her light….”
Born in Kingston Jamaica, Tha Vor considers his
music to be a mission. It is a mission to make sure voices such as Haile
Selassie, Marcus Garvey, Public Enemy and other positive influences never fade
in the background. Taking a conscious
yet militant stance, the artist steadfastly speaks on the realities of life,
his experiences and all that his studies have taught him. It is from these
various sources that enable him to stand out in a class of his own. His music can be recommended to any music
lover as it stands the test of time!
