KEELING BECKFORD THE REBIRTH

By: C. Harrison/December 22, 2014/11:29am

He is revered to as a visionary,  quite possible one of the last monarch of a dinosaur of Reggae legends coming out of Jamaica West Indies.  In essence, he is a  Maven–Keeling Beckford is as resilient in his music has in his ways.  Some even see him as (Google), when it comes to the Reggae Music Industry.  Beckford is the 3rd child star to come out of Jamaica and the 4th person in America, whose visualization  helped to bring about the inception  of Hip-Hop to America’s urban markets via world phenomenon. Beckford is second to none, the history book.

Recently I had the chance and pleasure of  meeting this gigantic imperturbable musician. He was recommended to me by a well do perfectionist.  Clearly, I have seen and knew of him-heard his music but didn’t know exactly who he was until then.  Bite  my nails I did because I went home and literally saw him in pictures I have at  home, understandable immobile for a minute.  Since knowing him I learned that he maneuvers very well and has an impeccable perseverance.

Taken an hiatus away from the Music Industry for 10-years, Beckford took the time to set up and ran a Record Store called Keeling Records, in Brooklyn New York;  and to date, this was where he decided to launch his rebirth—thus making a brand new album call “Rebirth,” a powerful album with big big tunes with one of a kind modifications and hip-hop lyrics infused with reggae, never heard before. Beckford’s album is sure to reconnect and resonate with his fans when they hear it.  One could call it a album for women, You be the judge.

Moreover, when played DIs are going to have to rewind and come again, it is that good–all 20 tracks. The album can only be recognized as  Excellence.  Anything other description will not do. He started out at 13-years old, in the Reggae Industry blazing a trail in his wake and listening to his latest, one can say, he is still weaving that path–a legacy we will all Secom, to.

Masterful in his writing, polish and stylish in his singing, is the reason why Beckford is significant. You will never find another singer with his innovation of style and how he sing. One can imitate but there is only one Keeling Beckford.

I can tell you this, I am probably the only person to played it (The album)  first, outside of his studio and I have not stop dancing–I love that voice, it is as smooth as silk— money well spent. The album should dropped shortly.  You cannot remis dis.

To hear the rest of my interview with Keeling Beckford, you will have to see my TV show:  ®©Inside Queens With C. Harrison  on QPTV The Queens cable vision networks-in a few weeks.
