With his smooth, crooning, tenor vocals, up-tempo arrangements, and spiritually uplifting themes, Everton Blender (born Everton Dennis Williams) is one of the top performers of Jamaica's dancehall tradition. In addition to receiving the prestigious Chicago Martins International award, Blender received South Florida Reggae/Soca awards as "most improved entertainer" in 1996 and 1997. According to The St. Louis Dispatch, Blender "evokes memories of classic reggae performers of the past". "Rootsworld" added, " Blender's voice is a friendly, expressive purr, skipping sure-footedly through and around melodies, supported by varied, bouncy, instrumentation rooted in signature booming reggae bass, kept light by lively percussion and bright background vocals".

Before the widespread return to 'cultural' lyrics in the 1990s, Admiral Tibet aka Mr. Reality was the most consistently "conscious" singer of the ragga age and widely regarded as the first "cutural" singer of the deejay-dominated period. His lyrics, delivered with a convincing, vulnerable quality, are as true today as they were when first delivered including the very current "Serious Time" -- a single that deserves another listen during today's troubled times. Admiral Tibet's refusal to compromise his integrity, spiritually and musically, has once again delivered a classic album destined to shed important light on a deserving artist. "Determination," from Humal Records, has already given early warning of its potential success with the well-received "Give Praises", "My Determination", "No Love Without Feeling", and "I Know" -- all released in the UK to great acclaim. "I must always be myself; why should I try to be someone else's?" -- a question that Tibet asks of himself in "My Determination" and one with which we have all struggled.
