Track no.1 ; Rastafari teach i everything ; A nice reggae beat, with a broken Sizzla voice. He sings "every one is looking for progress, survival is the very thing, never deny yourself anything." A nice mellow trumpet sings every now and then, with convincing lyrics.
Track no. 2 ; Beautiful ; Change of rhythm, a type of hip-hop beat, with a nice rhythm guitar and a rap type Sizzla who preaches the love and beauty of Ethiopia. Track no. 3 ...

Advantages: Original, raw, tough lyrics, chanted over fast beats and rhythms. Disadvantages: Might not appeal to those of older generations, or anyone against dancehall.
...‘not so good’ one, but Rastafari Teach I Everything is 100% original and worth every penny. The first track, with the same name as the album is probably the odd one out, being a quality tune with a more slow/rootsy feel to it. After that, the album takes on a more ragga/dancehall stance to it but retains the high levels of consciousness and quality. Tracks such as ‘Revenge’ and ‘Planet Earth’ can be described as having a more raw and rapid sound ... ...for.

Sizzla has a very original voice and produces some lyrically amazing tracks but to recognize the pure quality and effort put into this album the listener should be a die-hard Sizzla fan and enjoy those harsh, unforgiving vocals produced only by Sizzla Kalonji from August Town, Jamaica. He once again produces an album that should be on ...

Album Notes: Among the most outspoken voices of the conscious dancehall movement, Sizzla has used his brand of spiritual reggae as a response to the generally bawdy themes of much modern Jamaican music. RASTAFARI, as may be expected, focuses heavily on Rastafarian culture; in particular the subjects of repatriation and black identity. Backed by rough and rugged dancehall rhythms with a distinctive flavor borrowed from Niyabinghi drumming, the music provides the perfect setting for Sizzla to expound his message of positivity.
Album Reviews: Q (1/02, p.107) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...ragga[e]'s Busta Rhyes....a fuller version of an '80s dancehall sound...truly unhinged vocal performances....replete with compelling, hardcore tirades..."
