Buju Banton once sang, "It's not an easy road, and many see the glamour and the glitter so them think a bed a rose..." Yet, thirteen years later we are still learning that "Nothing that is good in life will ever come easy, life is not an easy road..." Now, two generations come together to remind us to work hard for what we want out of life.
Music is in his blood, literally, and the talent is undeniable but even as the son of Big Youth, the legendary vintage Reggae Singer, Tafari knows firsthand that it's not as easy as it all appears to be.
Tafari Buchanan has dubbed himself as the Real Rude Bwoy, and rightly so. He has been cleverly living up to his alias by taking on a task that no Jamaican has accomplished. He has used his courage to tackle a genre that rarely establishes a successful result. What Tafari has done musically over the course of 6 years professionally in the business is to take classic Reggae, not Dancehall nor Hip-Hop, but true Reggae riddims and rapping on them, not Dee-Jaying or singing over the beat. He does consider himslef to be a Rapper...
"Not An Easy Road" is a beautifully crafted lyrical body that was well put together over a mellow Reggae beat. The smooth flow of the hook was awesomely rhythmic with a superb deliverance by none other than Big Youth himself. The verses are clean and well thought out...
With "Not An Easy Road" getting recognition from Jamaican and overseas radio stations already, Tafari expects to become a household name and intends to achieve international success for the livelihood of the music as well as for the Jamaican people and culture in general. The video has been shot in Kingston recently and was directed by David Rogers. It is currently in its editing phase; therefore, the video will be released shortly, as it promises to be as high-end as his previous masterfully crafted videos. Tafari will be putting out an album soon, however, for the time being fans can download his last mixtape by Rock The Nation Sound from France to listen to his other hits. Even if you are not familiar withTafari or his music, this mixtape is sure to bring you up to speed.
The lyrics of this new single are sure to touch and encourage anyone during this world economic crisis as Tafari penned, "Nothing that is good in life will ever come easy...if you want to reach your goals..." However, with all the hard work this young man has been putting in to arrive at this point in his career, he is sure to surpass all his goals in no time.
