Lately dancehall veteran Sizzla Kalonji has been engaged in
a serious lyrical battle with new comer Khago. Music critiques have openly
complained that Sizzla is taking it too far as he has made references to Khago’s
mother and gotten very personal in his songs. Not seeming to care, Kalonji
continues on the war path by now calling out hip-hop artist Snoop Dog.
When inquiries were made by MJE as to why Sizzla is now
verbally attacking Snoop Dog, we were given two stories. Firstly we were told
that Snoop recently publicly announced that he is now converted to the Rasta
faith. He was in Jamaica and apparently visited several locations that are
considered secret in the Rasta Religion. Sizzla was allegedly not pleased with
his actions while at these locations and has decided to call him out on it. The
other story we were told is that Snoop was to collaborate with Sizzla on a
track while he was in Jamaica but because he did not show up at the studio,
Sizzla took offence.
Regardless which story is accurate, persons can listen to
the song and decide for themselves. It is on the “sickness riddim” which was produced
by Lyon House Muzik and executive produced by Maria Jackson Entertainment. Also
on the riddim is Karamanti who has been getting a lot of flack as well because
she starts her song by saying “kalonji me agree, mi listen & mi pre”.
Karamanti however, wishes to make it clear that she was not saying that she
agrees with the things Sizzla was saying about Snoop but more about the
injustices he touched on in his song.
