Hawaii’s Inna Vision always pushes himself as an artist and when you listen to his deep music catalog it’s so fun hearing his growth as a lyricist and vocalist. All of Inna Vision’s hard work is on full display in “Self Talk” and it’s my favorite of his reggae meets hip hop albums released to date.
One of my favorite things about today’s reggae genre is that it crosses so many musical and international borders. Inna Visison is a Hawaiian music ambassador and it’s so cool to see how far his musical career has taken him. He’s currently on his “Self Talk” tour in Florida after touring across California.
Jesse Royal is featured on the major tune “Crosswalks”, which shows off Inna Vision’s ability to share the mic with any of reggae’s heavy hitters. The track has Vision and Royal going back and forth on the mic and reminisce about the hard work they’ve put in on their path to music stardom.
More of the reggae rock sound is showcased in “Loving Overflow”, a love song with island vibes and a sensitive streak. Inna Vision isn’t afraid to open up and his celebration of life is strongly felt.
Inna Vision and Richie Spice push away living a life of fear in the inspiring song “24.”. I especially love Inna Vision’s flow, Spice’s singing and the lively drumming in this pump up track.
“God Have a Plan” is a reflection of never stopping the hustle to create and release new music. Inna Vision always puts his best foot forward and this song’s beat is fire!
Feel new energy and push bad vibes away by listening to Inna Vision’s “Positive Ions (Re-charged)”. Inna Vision emphasizes the importance of treating everyone equal. Take in the powerful guitar led riddim and the silky keys.
Jah Maoli and Inna Vision brings us on a trip across the Hawaiian islands in “Far Away”. This song is next level irie and is one of the best new reggae tracks out of the 808 this year.
The album’s title track connects Inna Vision with Kumar and Nathan Aweau. You’ll feel the Vision-powered bass line and the artists’ chemistry as they express themselves in the freest way possible.
Inna Vision’s best music is still ahead and wow it is so much fun watching his growth. “Self Talk” is a major step forward. Big ups Inna Vision!
