Damon Dash Music Group to Release New Album From Dancehall Legend Sizzla
 Damon Dash Music Group proudly announces the release of a brand new album from dance hall legend Sizzla. The Overstanding is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, October 3. The Overstanding will be marketed and distributed by DDMG / Kalonji Records.
Sizzla Sizzla emerged during the latter half of the '90s, and quickly became one of the leaders of the modern dancehall movement. Along with Buju Banton and Capleton, he helped lead dancehall back to the musical and spiritual influence of roots reggae, favoring organic productions and heavily Rastafarian subject matter.
Sizzla's first success came with the release of Praise Ye Jah in 1997. Widely considered one of the top modern dancehall albums of its time, Praise Ye Jah was quickly trumped by the release of Black Woman & Child that same year. The title track was a smash hit and
became something of a cultural reggae anthem.
Damon Dash Sizzla continued to release a string of successful albums including Be I Strong in 1999, the spiritually driven, hip-hop influenced Bobo Ashanti in 2001, and Da Real Thing in 2002, where he concentrated on softer, mellower, more romantic material. With a catalogue of over 40 albums to his credit, Sizzla remains one of the most if not the most widely respected figures in all of dancehall reggae. The Overstanding hits stores Tuesday, October 3, 2006.
Other albums already out this year are Waterhouse Redemption (Greensleeves), Ain't Gonna See Us Fall (VP).

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
I will get it just like I've gotten the others.
Sizzla is a legend, a King. Nothing but goodness will come his way.
I just hope they don't diminish, or water down Sizzlas talent or work in the name of marketing.
Bless up Sizzla, you are the truth.

"IF THE TRACK LISTING I MAN SAW IS TRUE, IM REALLY VEXED, HOW THEY GONNA RELEASE A ALBUM WITH HALF OLD MATERIAL PON IT? SOLID AS A ROCK, THANK U MAMMA, ONE OF THOSE DAYS?WHAA GWANN?"
A true, cause mi did well vex to. But demmi look pon it and seh mi undastan, cause a one american label a release it. So this album is really all about marketing for the american audience.
A mi artist still, so mi haffi support him, fi hear di new tracks to.
We all know that SIZZLA is greater, and bigger than Dame Dash. But fi di foreign/yankee exposure, him need somebody weh big inna di Yankke community. And Dash seems like him respect, and rate Sizzla bad, so a guess dats a good link/connection fi Dadda.
Bless up urself Sizzla. They just can't stop you now/ever.
