The year 2022 marks three significant album anniversaries for Reggae singjay Sizzla Kalonji.Born Miguel Collins in 1976, Sizzla's recording career began in 1994, 2022 is the 20th anniversary of 'Bobby Digital' Dixon's Da Real Thing, released October 16, 2002, and the respective 25th anniversaries of Bobby Digital's Black Woman & Child and Fatis "Xterminator" Burrell's Praise Ye Jah.To commemorate these anniversaries, VP Records has relaunched The Bobby Digital Story on its YouTube channel. Sizzla's Rise To The Occasion concert from Reggae Month 2022, can also be viewed on VP Records' YouTube channel.For most fans of the artist, these three albums represent major peaks in his prolific career, resulting in core catalog tracks including "Just One Of Those Days (Dry Cry)," "Solid As A Rock," "Thank U Mama," "Guide Over Us," "Give Them The Ride," "Praise Ye Jah," and "Dem A Wonder."As Firehouse Crew bassist Donald Dennis (Danny Bassie) summed it up in the documentary, The Bobby Digital Story, "When Praise Ye Jah came out, that was the beginning of Sizzla. When Black Woman & Child came out, that put him in a different air, a notch up. What really dun me, the whole thing now, Da Real Thing cover it off [and] show the whole world he is the greatest."
In the same documentary, Bobby Digital (who passed away in May 2020) recalled, "Me and Sizzla have a chemistry ... In anything you're doing you have to have guidance. When the music go out, when people criticize, it's going to fall back on me. We have to make sure anything we're doing, it have to be right ... I can remember when Sizzla came and did the last two songs for Da Real Thing, I say 'a it this ... a IT THIS!' And when I put out that album, it was a turning point."Sizzla explained the mentorship of Bobby Digital in his early career: "Bobby Digital is a next gold in the music. We love and respect Bobby Digital. Wi father that. The way you respect your school ... studios are like universities, so you respect the teachers and those who lay the foundation for you."Now with a catalog of more than 60 albums and approaching 1,000 recorded songs, Sizzla's career began through a series of 7-inch vinyl singles on Xterminator, leading to RAS Records' 1995 CD Burning Up. Over the next two years, momentum built around a body of work, primarily recorded for Xterminator, but also including notable singles, such as "Holding Firm" for Star Trail, and the pivotal recording for Bobby Digital, "Black Woman & Child," released in 1996.

After a year of touring their debut album 'Black Diamond', the guys are taking things back to the beginning. FABRICLIVE 49 recaptures the same explosive dynamism, and ebullient enthusiasm of those original Buraka Som Sistema parties in Lisbon on disc; a vibrant reminder of the idea behind the name of the group - Buraka Sound System. Their FABRICLIVE CD encapsulates Buraka's love for the lost art of the remix album, with a stackful of re-rubs of their own records, putting the emphasis on talent over big names (including versions from L-Vis 1990, Stenchman and A1 Bassline, for instance). Interestingly, what has become clear to Buraka over the last few years is the impact kuduro has had on club music the world over, with more and more sounds beginning to resemble, or show signs of the influence of, kuduro itself. 2ff7e9595c
