I love Warchild. The music is great. It is rap with an island sound layered by history, teaching and feeling. His lyrics are moving.

Once in a while a global hip-hop artist comes to the forefront with a politically charged album that is both strong in mind and steeped in passion. Emmanuel Jal's "Warchild" is such an album.
Jal tells the story about his experiences as a former child soldier during the Sudanese war in his native Africa. As a child, he was forced to carry a machine gun, forced to kill and even some of his friends resorted to cannibalism.
Poverty was rampant and over 2 million innocent Southern Sudanese civilians were killed by the greed and ruthlessness of a corrupt Northern Sudanese government whose only concern was how much money they would receive for their oil. In turn, the oil money was invested in weapons. Sounds familiar?
Emmanuel Jal is a freedom rebel and a survivor. He was eventually smuggled into Kenya by a British aid worker (the latter suddenly died in a freak car accident). Jal ended up in the slums of Kenya and eventually got enrolled in a private school for privileged kids. Years later, he became interested in music and went on to become a rap star in Africa.
His torment is all the demons that run around his head. And the music that he makes on the new album is an outlet for his nightmare experiences in a country where no man is safe and everyone's out for himself. And who can blame them?
It's the music on Warchild that takes you by the throat and makes you want to do something with your life. Out of the bloodshed and madness comes a relief of sanity and light at the end of the tunnel.
"Forced to Sin" and "Vagina" are songs on the album that heighten Jal's awareness and sense of being. He paints pictures that are so vivid to the point where you can almost smell the bloodshed and the madness.
With songs produced by OutKast's Neil Pogue, the African rhythms and warfare rap workouts puts the music across a number of genres is it rap, world music, hip-hop and even pop.
On the track "50 Cent", Jail takes a pot-shot at the latest hip-hop designer icon and the world of video violence. Jal attacks the rapper for being an irresponsible role model for teenagers who get easily influenced.
The irony is that if you came from Sudan, chances are you never played a video game because you were probably too busy dodging the real bullets.
"Warchild" is a brave album. The passion and the calmness in Jal's voice contrasts genuinely against the tropical rhythms of the music. There's a tension that overtakes the album. Jal puts you in the firing line without the blindfold.
This rap is real.

Fantastic album, love it! Really bored of the same lyrics the same old songs being remixed featuring crap upcoming R n' B artists. This is new fresh, a learning experience rather than the same 'im from the hood crap.' But it and enjoy. Lookout for shadow of death great tune.
