Independent recording artist Wesbeezi recently released an impressive body of work that deserves way more attention than it’s been getting. Identity, his latest EP, dropped in mid July and surprised a lot of music critics with its carefully thought-out, well put together, compelling content.
Classified as reggae-dancehall fused with hip-hop, the project has a total of six tracks, and is produced by Wesbeezi, with assistance from esteemed engineer Tandra Jhagroo. All instrumentals were contributed by Supa Nova of Dub School, with the exception of track number three – Live On – which was done by Berzhead.
The most interesting thing about this record however, is arguably the message being delivered by Wesbeezi. Here is how he explains the meaning behind the above-mentioned song: “Our ancestors never really die they have transitioned and still connected to us as spirit forces and DNA family. I am highlighting that fact along with interchanging reality and the role we play in assisting our living family who may need spiritual assistance.”
When asked about the inspiration behind the EP, he said: “The inspiration is based on deeper knowledge expressed in my music about the times we live in and the transformation upon us as a people.” For those not in the know, Wesbeezi has been active in the industry for the past ten years and is known for making music that is truly artistic and thought-provoking. Identity is no different.
Presented on his own NooNation imprint, Identity can be streamed and downloaded from iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, Deezer, and all other music platforms.
