Cet album marche comme un enchainement ininterrompu de son, qui commence avec le Nyahbinghi "Light Of Jah", s'en suit "Angry mother nature"avec des cuivres de James Smith à la trompette et Micah Robinson au trombone. "
L' inquiétant "Twisted atmosphere" dont voici les paroles :

"Sometimes I cry at night cause I Feel like no one cares
For the child in the streets getting beat by police
In this twisted atmosphere
I'm bringing truth to the forefront
Tell me who got access to more guns
More ammo, more drugs, pull more stunts
Abusing putting pain on people for more months
I'm bringing light to the darkness Chaotic problems that officers started Like assassinations of nuff artists
And the terrorization of marketsUsing force as their means
Of solving what they want with their AK machines
Bragging on how many head tops dem shot clean
I'm showing you the side of the streets you don't see
Fight for your rights and what do you get
A baton, a gun butt, and couple death threats
I thought it was the people that they serve and protect
If not it must be someone else

Sometimes I cry at night cause
I Feel like no one cares
For the child in the streets getting beat by police
In this twisted atmosphereBam! bullets coming out the barrel
Dem slap you off and kick you up and tell you not to quarrel
Incarcerated men they go through the worse
I hope that every black nation recognize their hurt and their pain
It's happening again and again So open up your eyes to the game
It's been a struggle for youths behind bars
Being scarred by the infamous coup, oh Jah
I know one day the table will turn
And cops who are evil will burn
It's the law of life that no one doing wrong
Shall continue the blight, no no no
The time has arrived for the child
To look deep within, reconcile
With the glory of Jah that shall rise to defend you against wicked vibes
Drama drama, drama drama, drama drama, drama drama
Sometimes I cry at night cause
I Feel like no one cares
For the child in the streets getting beat by policeIn this twisted atmosphere
Drama drama ow yeah drama drama ow drama drama ow yeah ee yeah
All over the world it's just evil going on but yet still
I know that the Goodness is within man, so reveal it.
Stop the abusing of young children just for energy, just for energy. "

Lyrics de "Black smokey mountains" :

"Never be ashamed of your complexion
Once you're a black person, you're a classical genius
Be proud of who you are and let the love flow, let the love flow
Somewhere hidden in the legends
Between numbers one and seven
Between the minds of men and heaven
There dwelled the I-ngels
Somewhere written in black history books
It talks about how much we had the wicked shook
How powerful we are and how the cities looked
Now I must go back, going back to...

Smokey smokey mountains Mountain Lesitima place like Virunga
Smokey smokey mountains Bigging up Kilimbe Black Abadares
Smokey smokey mountains Range Ruwenzori, Mystic mountain Elgan
Smokey smokey mountains Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya descendants

Even in the day the green trees around me
Are just like an umbrella, rain ah fall so the land is lush
Predator-prey it is the game around the jungle
So just humble when you trodding through
Cause then for sure you will get crush
Some people feel as though dem boasting
Ah go get them some place outta space;
Not in Africa the higher turf
So send your army and your troops
Cause every time you ah go lose
Like how Menelik did mek dem disperse

Smokey smokey mountains Mountain Lesitima

place like Virunga
Smokey smokey mountains
Bigging up Kilimbe Black Abadares
Smokey smokey mountains Range Ruwenzori, Mystic mountain Elgan
Smokey smokey mountains Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya descendants
I'm sick of seeing people losing their mind in the west
When I know that the natural way of life is great
Black children going astray getting hooked on what's wild
So Africa she has to be my next visit
Mankind has turned his head away from the ways of the old
When he should just humble and accept what is
Whenever things end up dread listen up to what ah said,
No turning back that will be it, check the...

The purpose of living is just to find out who you are
Everyday is thanks giving so give thanks to the creator
What you see in the city is really an illusion
It will be destiny, make belief will be soon gone
The worst fear out there, it's clear is the fear of death
So prepare, right here, let's share the wholesome wisdom bread
You take piece. I take piece. heights increase. try not to fall off the ledge
It's so sweet to be me. strong not weak, don't push yourself of the...

Dans Roots and Culture, nous nous intéressons à la musique reggae provenant des petites îles de Saint-Croix, Saint-Thomas et Saint-Jean, le tout faisant partie des îles Vierges.

Des artistes comme Dezarie, Batch, Abja et Army ainsi que des groupes comme Midnite et Bambu Station évoluent en permanence et remettent à la surface les racines de la musique reggae au premier plan.

NiyoRah de son vrai nom Nigel Olivacce est né le 9 Octobre1980 dans le village littoral de Pointe-Michel en Dominique.

Il a déménagé à St. Thomas, dans les îles Vierges Américaines, avec sa famille à l'âge de ans, et cultivé un intérêt pour la musique en écoutant des artistes de reggae dans les collections de son père dont Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear et Lucky Dube .

À 16 ans, NiyoRah commença à chanter dans la rue au sujet des expériences de vie du ghetto de Savan au centre-ville de Charlotte Amalie.

À 18 ans, NiyoRah décidé de poursuivre une carrière dans la musique reggae, il prend alors le nom NiyoRah : une combinaison entre son nom Nigel et par respect pour la toute-puissance du soleil selon l'ancienne Egypte : Rah.

Son grand-père est un chanteur primé qui chante les negro-spirituals et le gospel, tandis que sa tante, Ophelia Olivacce Marie, est une artiste internationale de langue française surnommé "Songbird Dominique" "l'oiseau chanteur de Dominique "pour son style de calypso.

En 1998, il a été présenté par Ras Manny de la radio locale au Black Juice Records , un studio d'enregistrement des îles Vierges .

Il a rejoint six autres artistes reggae pour co-fonder "Star Lion Family".

Sa première apparition vocale sur le EP "Brighter Days"de Star Lion Family's sorti en novembre 2003.

A "Different Age" est son premier album.
