CHANT DOWN BABYLON, which pairs Bob Marley's music with performances from a select group of urban pop stars, is strong enough to quell even the most skeptic Marley aficionado. Stephen Marley brought heavyweights from the worlds of hip-hop and R&B for this project, all of whom seem very familiar with Marley's work and bring a level of earnestness to the proceedings that demonstrate their reverence for the reggae great.
Krayzie Bone offers a rendition of "Rebel Music" that is one of the album's high points, while Erykah Badu oozes fiery soul over "No More Trouble" as through she were standing right next to Bob in the studio. Other standouts include Aeorsmith's appearance on "Roots Rock Reggae" and Rakim's addition to "Concrete Jungle." The excellent CHANT DOWN BABYLON functions like a rare glimpse of what Marley's music may have been like if he were recording today.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - ...when it works, it's startling. Lauryn Hill is stunning on 'Turn Your Light Down Low'....Busta Rhymes & Flipmode Squad are scarily effective on 'Rastaman Chant' and Erykah Badu takes 'No More Trouble' to all sorts of places....a fine record...

      Great Eclectic Performances - AWESOME ALBUM
    Review created: 09/09/06

    Turn your lights down low with smooth sounding Lauryn Hill is an awesome track. Another great track is Rastaman Chant with Busta, and probably my favorite Rebel Music with Krayzie Bone. Burnin' and Lootin' also really gets the rebellious feelings flowing. Some great Bob Marley vocal tracks with guest artists bringing their own style and flavor to the table, remixed by son Stephen Marley. This is an EXCELLENT choice.
