Richie Spice - Black Man Time '2023

Tracks list

Jamaican vocalist Richie Spice carved out a career in socially conscious roots
reggae while delving into dancehall and lovers rock on albums such as 1996's Out
of the Blue, 2008's Gideon Boot, and 2020's Together We Stand.

Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Spice (aka Richell Bonner) grew up in a
reggae family, with his brothers -- Pliers (best known for his production work
with Chaka Demus), Spanner Banner, and DJ Snatcher Dogg -- all having successful
careers in the music industry. After a handful of singles, including his debut
1994's Killing a Sound, Spice teamed up with Clive Hunt (Jah Cure, Maxi Priest)
to record his debut album, 1996's Out of the Blue. The mix of roots reggae and
dancehall proved a hit, with the track "Grooving My Girl" finding an audience.
Over the next few years, Spice toured with the likes of Chaka Demus & Pliers and
Rita Marley, as well as playing major Jamaican festivals, including Reggae
Sunsplash. 1999 saw Spice release his sophomore album, Living Ain't Easy --
which was reissued worldwide that same year as Universal -- before issuing a
slew of singles over the next few years. It wouldn't be until 2004 that he
delivered his third album, the 5th Element-released Spice in Your Life.
Featuring the radio hit "Earth Run a Red," the release propelled him back into
the spotlight with tracks such as "Marijuana" and "Ghetto Girl" becoming
dancehall staples. In 2007 -- now signed to VP Records -- Spice issued In the
Streets of Africa, which featured the Bobby Konders-produced single "Youth Dem
Cold," and saw the more socially conscious release peak at number six on the
U.S. reggae charts. The following year he dropped his second album for VP, the
chart-topping Gideon Boot, with his third, Book of Job, appearing in 2011.

After the release of 2012's acoustic album Soothing Sounds, a selection of
singles appeared over the next few years, and it wouldn’t be until 2020
that Spice would deliver his ninth studio album. Working once again with the
likes of Clive Hunt, Spice dropped the VP release Together We Stand midway
through the year. The title track was picked as the theme for the Jamaican
telethon that raised money for the country's fight against COVID-19. ~ Rich
