Fyah Yard member, the reggae and dub
artist known as Hattaman, has released his latest solo single,
“Everytime We Rise.” The single is a grass roots authentic reggae
song with the genuine dub feel and tone. The theme of this track,
like all of Hattaman's material, is socially conscientious and
involves the daily struggle of the people against unfair and
imbalanced forces in society that keep proletariat classes from
rising above their current, difficult situation. This is indeed the
crux of the song, as written and performed in Hattaman's chorus:
“Everytime we rise people try to push
me down.”
Naturally, Hattaman exemplifies the
tenacity of his community by continuing to persevere in the face of
seemingly insurmountable odds. “I don't care what they want to say
about me, because they do not nothing about me,” he sings. He also
points to the deplorable conditions of the public at large, and uses
himself as a symbol of that pain and tribulation. He sings, “The
king of suffering, that's what they call me.”
Hattaman's voice is extremely deep and
rich, not unlike the great Buju Banton. He has performed since his
childhood on numerous stages stretching back to Rockfort in Kingston,
Jamaica. He lists his major influences in the following order: Bob
Marley, Peter Tosh, Free I, Jacob Miller, Sizzla, Bounty Hunter, and
Capleton, and these influences are obvious in his music, making it
rife with traditional rhythm and groove. He was also the 2000
International Reggae Day Talent Search award winner.
Hattaman's music, like that of his
group, Fyah Yard, is self-described as conscious, uplifting,
spiritual, prophetic and portraying the levity of Rastafari. These
attributes, combined with the musical talent that produces track
after track of excellent dub and reggae music from Hattaman and his
crew, ensures that “Everytime We Rise” will not be the last we
hear of Hattaman.
Hattaman's “Everytime We Rise” is
available globally online.
