Solo Banton, Irie Ites - In This Time (2024)

Solo Banton is one of the big names in modern reggae. The author of numerous hits, he is well known to fans of big bass. He travels to festivals and dub nights, where his performances are always noticed. With his imposing voice and devastating flow, Solo Banton is a stage beast who crushes everything in his path.
In 2023, following a number of shows with the sound and label Irie Ites, the 2 friends decided to join forces to produce Solo's new album. Thanks to tailor-made riddims and hard work in the studio, the result is a 12-track project featuring 2 magnificent guest appearances by the British rising reggae star sensation Joe Yorke and the voice of the Jamaican ghetto, Burnin' Spectacular.
3 extracts from this project are already available, the moving Dem Gone reminding us that we have to love the people around us before they disappear, the powerful Pass Them where Solo advises us to make our own way without worrying about the jealous and the slanderers and finally the terrible combination Don't It with the Jamaican Spectacular, a real soundsystem anthem where the 2 artists ride their flow to perfection on a version of the Ram Dancehall Riddim.
In terms of musical production, Solo Banton and Irie Ites have surrounded themselves with renowned musicians such as Russ Disciples, The Ligerians, West Finga and Irie Ites All Stars... All mixed by Roberto Sanchez and Irie Ites.
The result is simply breathtaking, showcasing Solo's songwriting talent as well as her technique and vocal power. "In This Time' is a landmark album in Solo Banton's career and is sure to become a classic in the Irie Ites Records catalogue.
