Luciano – Messenger (1996)

Messenger, that album is crazy. Until now, I remember the promo package for Messenger, the posters, the phone cards for it. The tune, it just one of his stamp[s]. I remember some sessions, that singer voice just come and stamp Xterminator, and was uncle Luci. Initially it was Luci, Sizzla, Shadow Man, Jesse Jendau, Ragnam Poyser, Mikey General. It was just one movement and I remember that as a yute. I never did go a lot a di studio sessions but I remember a lot of the songs. I remember when Baaba Maal was here—it was epic with all the talking drum an ting. Even the musicians that were apart of it and the engineers— Uncle Sly, Uncle Chinna, Uncle Robby, Danny Bassie, Firehouse Crew, a whole heap of work. There’s a lot of people who you associate Xterminator to them—Luci and Sizzla, Uncle Mikey, Beres, Cocoa Tea. Especially Luci and Sizzla, those were the two main breakout artists for my father.
