Product Description

Conscious lyrics, hard hitting rhythms, and a unique blend of Progressive Roots, current and vintage Dancehall with influences of Hip Hop are what makes Hope Massive's debut album, Itany, stand out from the pride. Using Roots and Dancehall as a foundation, Hope Massive has managed to create an album that effortlessly flows from Roots Reggae, to Dancehall, Dub, hip-hop and to surf rock. The musical versatility of Itany, combined with positive themes, produces a fresh sound that steps outside of the box while remembering it's roots. PRESS REVIEWS- Voted No. 2 of the Top 20 Reggae releases in 2009 - WNCW-FM 'It's a nice set of all-original material...

Social conviction weighs in the lyrics of songs like 'Burn Up the Lies', 'Some May Say', 'Never Give It Up', 'and 'Inna Trenches.'...

Rock influences but this is reggae music all the way particularly in the messaging of songs like 'Are You Livin' Up', 'Mission' and 'Every Iwah.' - Chuck Foster, THE BEAT (Vol. 27 No. 3 2008) 'One of the area's most solid live acts, Hope Massive, has finally committed their pulsing roots reggae sound to disc with 2008's 'Itany'. Booming with fiery, crisp dancehall grooves and laden with relevant social commentary, 'Itany' brims with energy and would be a welcome addition to any reggae fan's collection.' - David Brewer, High Country Press, Jan 8, 2009.
