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.
