Lokon and Spellbinder make a formidable team on their latest effort, the fittingly titled Unity Iz Strength. There aren’t nearly enough reggae-and-rap collaborations — local or otherwise — out there right now, and this pair makes an utterly compelling case for more like-minded partnerships. Spellbinder’s perfectly pitched vocals, set against Lokon’s grainy production, effectively complement the lyrics and provide a pleasing contrast. The album boasts a hefty 23 tracks, and among those, “Skid Row,” featuring Rude Boy Reggie, is the most impressive. Unity Iz Strength is solid overall.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
