Dancehall Legend Sizzla Is To Release His Highly Anticipated Album,
"The Overstanding" on November 21st and Begin A Tour of the U.S.

Sizzla Kalonji's most highly anticipated album, "The Overstanding" is scheduled to be released on November 21st. The album will be marketed and distributed by DDMG/Kalonji Records. The following day after the release of the album, Sizzla will embark on a U.S. tour to promote the album.

Emerging in the latter half of the 90's, Sizzla quickly became one of the leaders in the modern dancehall movement. The success of Praise Ye Jah in 1997, secured a strong following which placed him at the top with Reggae greats like Buju Banton and Capleton. He released Black Woman, & Child that same year, and the self-titled single become a reggae anthem, lasting almost one decade. It was within this era that he helped lead dancehall back to the musical and spiritual influences of roots reggae, favoring organic productions with heavy Rastafarian teachings and beliefs.

Sizzla has released over 40 albums which include a string of very successful albums, crossing different genres of Reggae. In 1999, Be I Strong was released and Bobo Shanti in 2001, which was spiritually driven and had strong hip hop influence, and in 2002 Da Real Thing was definitely the Reggae album of the year, showing a softer, mellow, and romantic material.

The Overstanding is as prolific, infectious, and melodic, if not more, than the previous albums. The production is a collaboration of genius within the Reggae and Hip Hop industry that have delivered music of great quality and beautiful international sounds. The topics of the album range from issues of love, education, overcoming poverty, teaching values, and life in general. Sizzla is one of the world's most respected figures in dancehall reggae and continues to bless the world with musical masterpieces, album after album.
