Ancient Blood - Tribal Seeds

ANCIENT BLOOD – TRIBAL SEEDS

February 24, 2024Posted inAlbum Reviews, Entertainment, Features, Miscellaneous, ReggaeNo Comments

Tribal Seeds dropped Ancient Blood, their fifth studio album, on February 9, 2024. They have also released two EP’s and a live album throughout their career. A lot has changed since the release of their debut album Youth Rebellion in 2005, but Ancient Blood is truly a breath of fresh air. Kicking off with Bondage featuring The Twinkle Brothers, you can feel the energy building up through the thick bass lines. It also sets a theme for some of the features on the album, as there is a heavy presence of Jamaican artists showcased. The second track, One Time, features Romain Virgo. Hector Roots Lewis (Dusk Till Dawn) and Hempress Sativa (Wicked & Riled) are also Jamaican artists that are featured on this album.
