Alpha Blondy is one of the greatest of all time in terms of natural lyrics, rhythm, flow, and how he often amalgamate multiple languages in a single sound track to communicate with his audience is unmatched. Aside the lyrics, Alpha alongside Lucky Dube were able to use music as a medium to spread the culture of Africa. Something the current crop of reggae artists are missing in Africa, thus to say, to sound lyrically exciting and at the same time showcase your cultural root. Alpha and Lucky were masters in all angles of the art hence, their music resonates and attracts all ages and genders allowing them to cross boundaries. In my subjective opinion, both Alpha and Lucky Dube will forever be among the GOAT in African reggae genre.
