Izzo - Pressin On

If you have met Izzo or have seen his videos you get to notice the Fro which really stands out which was the first thing I noticed when I sat next to him in a matatu, thank God for public transport. Nice chap we got talking and by then I didn’t even know I would start blogging. What stood out for me was the spiritual sense in our conversation. It’ s always a delight when you are conversing and the Lord is brought out, by the end of the trip I got to get his new compilation of the jams that he has done.

The compilation is entitled ‘Press On’ his new track which he has tag teamed with Holy Dave. The mini album (I believe it will have more tracks by the time he’s launching it) has six traks most of which you will have heard from TV and Radio. It includes jams like the monster remix ‘Sunday Christian’ that really brought him to the limelight which features the likes of Mr. T, Hey-Z, Eko Dydda, Xpo, Kamlesh; of course the jam ‘Press On’ which is the first track and ‘Rooftop’ the crazy jam that has been done by Mr. Lee, Shem(Wernono Family), Izzo and Key – Z.

Izzo is true hip hop head and that’s what his music is all about hip hop but you’ll find true spiritual inspiration which should be epicentre for all gospel music take the jam Sunday Christian for instance, it encourages us to be 24-7 Christians not just on Sunday when we go to church. Press On talks of press on even when times are hard, “I Press On, I Fight On, I Pray On … and I will always be a winner”

From the compilation the most outstanding track is Sunday Christian Remix, I believe it has a true touch of genius in it, from the beats to the arrangement of the various artists who have different rapping styles it’s a true head banger with the spiritual fulfilment that brings out the richness that we have locally. I also really enjoyed the track ‘You’ll Pay’ (not sure about the title) which is a bit slow hip hop and really inspirational.

The compilation is going for Kshs 150 and as usual you can email me on kenyangospeljunction @gmail.com and I will surely hook you up. You can also get his jams on kenyadownload.com. The most outstanding thing about Izzo is that for him it’s more of ministry than just music, more about getting more people to know about Christ by using his music as a means and not an end. He says that all his tracks are spiritually inspired which is evident from the lyrics. He also has a compilation of the videos that he has done which includes ‘Press On’ and ‘Rooftop’ which goes for Kshs 100 meaning with Kshs 250 you get all his jams and videos that is truly a bargain and you really get your money’s worth.
