    The sound print of prince far i once again. One of the best album of 78, heavy and deep riddims.

      One of the best albums from Prince Far I & The Arabs. Prince Far I's ability to chant raw verses from the bible have always been an inspiration. Titled track "Message from the King" is a collaboration between Prince Far I and Joseph Hill from Culture. Noted favorite tracks include: "Message From The King", "Moses, Moses", "Blackman Land", "Foggy Road", and "Wisdom." The Track "Wisdom" is crucially crucial and has a hypnotic rhythm.

        Listening to it for almost 40 years now I can say this is still one of my top 10 albums. A unique masterpiece. Give thanks, Mr. Williams, for guidance & protection on I&I foggy road.
