ALBUM DESCRIPTION
Stitchie, (formerly Lt. Stitchie) is a prolific artist who needs no introduction. From his impressive secular career to his Christian conversion and subsequent impact on the gospel reggae scene, this artist has proven time and again that his talent is dedicated to the Lord. With two other Gospel albums to his credit, he now brings forth what is unquestionably his best album to date.
With 17 full-length songs and 3 interludes, "Real Life Story," is a complete mix of dancehall, gospel and roots reggae. Songs like "Lord Almighty," "Praise the Lord," "In Di Dancehall," "Mercy," and "Gangsta Life," prove that Stitchie hasn't lost his hardcore dancehall edge. These deejay cuts rise above the current crop of secular dancehall recordings with excellent production incorporating live instruments into the hardcore riddims. Two thick roots reggae songs, "Hold Di Faith," and "I Pray," are tremendously inspiring and two of the best tracks on the album!
While portions of his previous two gospel albums may have been better received by the church than the world and a bit too homogenized for the streets, this CD hits below the belt and holds no punches! On it you will find the former Lieutenant (and Governor) rediscovering his original signature dancehall style that made him so famous in the dancehall arena years ago. This time around he is sanctifying it for the Lord without compromising the integrity of his lyrics or sound.
Stitchie's "Real Life Story" is unquestionably one of the best Gospel Reggae releases of 2007 and sure to garner many awards. Excellent production, lyrics, songwriting and delivery further solidify Stitchie's place at the forefront of gospel reggae. Every gospel reggae fan should pick up a copy of this album.
