To say that NorCal’s Wisdom spreads the “conscious” hip-hop would be an understatement, considering he gets much of his inspiration from spiritual teacher Ram Dass. Already reaching the top of the Jamaican music charts, Wisdom’s blend of hip-hop and reggae features the voice of Michael Rose (the legendary singer form Black Uhuru guests on “Chatty Mouth”), and the stamp of approval from UK heroes, Steel Pulse. Fans of Michael Franti and Ozomatli are also sure to dig the message of universal love, and Dakini Star adds the sensual female touch. Sol Rising on scratches ensures that you never forget that Wisdom is keeping it true-school.
