Sr. Wilson - Paso Firme (MAD91)

By Jah Rebel

Yours truly discovered Sr. Wilson thanks to 'Danger', a song on Van De Ramah's 'Nuestra Arma' album (Kasba Music, 2014), in which he appeared as a guest vocalist. A little research taught us the singjay from Barcelona had already released an album of his own called 'Good Man Style' (Kasba Music, 2012), a release quickly making Xavi Ojeda Serra our favorite Spanish reggae artist.

For 'Paso Firme', Sr. Wilson joined forces with Reggaeland producer Genis Trani and clearly focused more on his native tongue Spanish. On 'Paso Firme', an album containing influences from just about everything from roots over rub-a-dub, to new roots, dancehall and even hip-hop ('El Muro' feat. Sharif & Rapsusklei), Sr. Wilson is on top of his game, with perhaps 'World Wide Revolution', a combination with Italian duo Mellow Mood, as an absolute topper. The only track on 'Paso Firme' which due to the excessive use of the vocoder, did not appeal to yours truly, is 'My Teachers', a tribute to those who supported Sr. Wilson on his musical path. 'Paso Firme' "only" contains 12 tracks and the combination of Sr. Wilson's flow with the almost perfectly executed riddims of Genis Trani will almost certainly ensure the need for the repeat-button.
