Alborosie's music throws back to the heyday of consciousness-raising reggae, beyond just the added vinyl cracks hissing throughout his tough, rootsy 2008 breakout track “Kingston Town.” The Italian-born, Jamaican-based deejay and producer practices a singsong style with his gravelly register on tracks like “Rastafari Anthem,” backing it up with a vintage riddim—but Alborosie is no mere retro stylist. He also embraces the bubbly sound of early digi-dancehall, tweaking his own vocals amid the wobbly blips of “No Cocaine.”
