While dancehall has music has seen an unprecedented explosion in recent years, with more cross-over friendly artists such as Sean Paul, Beenie Man, Damian Marley and most recently Cham attaining mainstream success in the US, the same level of commercial success has not been attained for the reclusive bobo dread. Despite over 40 albums to his name, not to mention the hundred's of 45's he has released, Sizzla has remained an enigma largely to the non-Caribbean public, particularly mainstream America. Born Miguel Collins, his early albums 'Praise Ye Jah' and 'Black Woman & Child' established himself within the genre as a force to be reconned with, and by the time 2001's 'Da Real Thing' was released, `dadda' had attained iconic status, both in JA and abroad. Code: For the last 10 years, perhaps no artist on the planet has produced a body of work comparable to Danchehall/Reggae artist Sizzla Kalonji. This is also one of his most positive sets to date, and he avoids any of the controversial lyrics which have put under fire in recent years. Overall 'The Overstanding' is at its essence a roots set, and a solid one at that. This will always be the case - this is not an indictment of Sizzla growth as an artist, but rather an unavoidable perspective for some, given the reverence with which those works are held. Like every disc Sizzla releases, there will be fans that maintain he fails to live up to the standard of his early works.
