Norrisman's "Persistance" Is The Song That I Dedicate To The Next Illinois Senator,Roland Burris!
Roland Burris is a show of determination & persistance! That's why I dedicate this song from one of my favorite artists,Norrisman,to the next Illinois senator.It's called "Persistance".Congrats,Senator Burris!
And I love this artist because he is truly prolific & positive! He was involved in a scuffle with another major reggae star,Sizzla,a while back.And Norrisman stayed true to his message of brotherhood & peace throughout the whole ordeal.I believe that he walks the talk.He's my artist of the day. Here's more on this lovely man from BigUpRadio:
"Born and raised in the notorious Trenchtown and Arnett Gardens area of Kingston, Jamaica, Christopher Campbell, now known as Norris Man had Bob Marley as a hometown hero to inspire his immersion into the musical arena. As a young boy Norris Man (named because of his enthusiasm for karate king Chuck Norris) would sit under a tree to write his own songs of redemption. Feeling music within him, Norris could not ignore his gift of singing and performing. In the Kingston dancehalls of his youth, older sound boys would hoist ten year-old Norris on top a Guiness box and hand him the mic to stir up the dance. Such experiences lit the musical fire for this ghetto youth. From there his musical journey began.
As he matured, Norris Man gained the respect of sound-systems throughout the city with his unique toasting and singing style. By age 22, he began recording songs in some of Kingstons most reputable recording studios such as Black Scorpio, Leggo, and Celestial Sounds Studio. By the mid-nineties, Norris found himself fully committed to his faith as a Rastafarian, wherein he experienced a shift in his consciousness to a higher spiritual and musical level. He created lyrical content that became more potent, more socially uplifting, and more meaningful. With this devotion, he recorded "Love and Affection" at Buju Banton's Cellblock studio."(End of Excerpt) Read the rest here:http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=475
