Myrhdak, Ras - Prince Of Fyah (Volume 1)Releasedatum: 4 mei 2007
Stephon Moulton aka Ras Myrhdak was born on March 3, 1977.
He grew up in the Linton Park in Brown's Town, St. Ann; a parish known for reggae greats like Bob Marley, Burning Spear and Barrington Levy.
After Ras Myrhdak in 2006 conquered the charts with his production of Capleton's "Forty Sup'emmh" and his own "Blazer" which were released on his own label Blaque Warriahz Muzic, he linked up with Brotherman who produced artist(s) albums like Luciano's "Tell It >From The Heart", Lutan Fyah's "Dem No Know Demself" , Anthony B's "My Hope", and Turbulence's "Do Good" as well as the album "The Good, The Bad & The Blazing" featuring Junior Kelly, Bounty Killer & Capleton.
Ras Myrhdak (a protégé of Capleton, is also known as Ras Murdoch, Ras Murdak, and recently also dubbed to Prince Shango) opens this album with the strong "Gunshots Falling" before his "Pre Dem" take on the 'Wadada'-riddim shows how much Ras Myrhdak's delivery has improved over the last year, great melodic singjaying over this beautiful backing and the wonderful dubby backing and strong delivery of "Never You Forget" maintain that feel. "Only For A Time" is Ras Myrhdak's fine at a slower pace delivered take across Brotherman's 'Upside Down'-riddim, followed by the extremely sweet lovers tune "Swept Away" and the very impressive "Global Warning". The album is filled with well voiced tunes on steady riddims like this and closes with "Too Much Guns Around", bringing its message across very effectively.
Ras Myrhdak and Brotherman have hopefully intentionally named this album "Prince Of Fyah Vol. 1" as this combination surely teamed up for an extremely impressive debut album and they would be satisfying a need if they returned together for a second volume.
