Rasta Love, as in the Love that abounds between a man and a woman, is some of the sweetest love to see and behold.  More and more, younger artists are sharing the love they feel for their spouse, and fans can’t get enough.  Iba Mahr takes us on his journey of Love via one of his newest releases “Love You Girl!”
 
Performed to the In Transit Riddim, the Youth from Harar pours out his heart to the apple of his eye, which includes lyrics of love and devotion like:  “I just simply love it when you put it on I / cause ain’t no other do it better than I / remember it was love that created you and I / so don’t be shy / this love we constituted / could never be diluted / and you’re the prescription the doctor recommended….”
 
There is nothing more reassuring for a woman than to hear lyrics of love and romance from the man she adores.  In this case, Iba is singing on behalf of men around the world who may struggle to say the words themselves!

*Verse*
Dem see the love and wah come drive in hate 
Many youths cyaa even read a license plate 
We send dem go a school 
But dem bound to the brain's limitations of time and space 
We nah teach dem fi meditate and find that place 
That happy state jus dilapidate 
If the youths is a conception immaculate 
Why so many youths get decapitate?
(hey)

*Chorus*
Di youths need fi know 
Say knowledge a di key to any possibility dat dem can achieve 
Di youths need fi know 
The ways to the truth so many growing up fi be a slavery recruit 
Di youths need fi know 
About dem family dem ancestral lineage an what dat really means 
The youth need fi know 
The right seeds weh fi sow yea yea

*Verse*
So many youths a get stifle with rifle 
No know nuttn bout life cycle 
Dem confidence coulda taller than the Eiffel 
But a just di bleaching cream dem a get eyeful 
Dem have to think about survival 
So the school never witness dem arrival, no 
We neva teach dem say unity a strength 
So bare competition with dem rival

*Chorus*
Di youths need fi know 
Say knowledge a di key to any possibility dat dem can achieve 
Di youths need fi know

Sizzla Kalonji, or simply Sizzla (was born Miguel Orlando Collins, April 17, 1976, Kingston, Jamaica) is one of the most commercially and critically successful contemporary reggae artists and is well-known for his above-average prolificacy.

Sizzla was born in Kingston in 1976 to devout Rastafari movement parents. Like them Sizzla subscribes to the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafari movement. He was raised in August Town, Kingston Jamaica where he studied mechanical engineering at Dunoon High School.

The 1980s witnessed a dancehall explosion, and with the music came the lifestyle: drugs, guns, and "slackness" (vulgarity). Formally adopting the Rastafari faith, with its advocacy of repatriation to Africa, he joined the ranks of the Bobo Ashanti in the mid-1990s.

Sizzla began to develop his own style whilst serving his musical apprenticeship with the Caveman Hi-Fi sound system. He has used his music as a vehicle for his message, kickstarting his recording career in 1995 with a release through the Zagalou label, he then teamed up with "Bobby Digital" Dixon for a series of singles. Extensive touring with fellow roots and culture artist Luciano followed, earning Sizzla notability. 
Homer Harris, the same man who named and mentored Buju Banton got him his first break, introduced Sizzla to top Jamaican saxophonist Dean Fraser, the musical director for Philip "Fatis" Burrell's Xterminator Family. 1996 marked an important turning point for Sizzla when he began working with Fatis. This union led to a run of successful singles and the release of Sizzla's debut album, Burning Up. 
The two allied again a year later with the follow-up, Praise Ye Jah (JetStar). Praise Ye Jah was quickly trumped by his release of the Dixon-produced Black Woman &amp; Child that same year. The title track was a smash hit and became something of a cultural reggae anthem. Sizzla scored several more hits during 1997, including "Like Mountain," "Babylon Cowboy," "Kings of the Earth," and the Luciano duet "Build a Better World." This hot streak kicked off an enormously productive recording binge that lasted over the next several years, with much of his output still done for Burrell.

Along with universal praise came Sizzla's first nomination for Best International Reggae Artist of the Year at the 1998 MOBO Awards and a place in various magazines' top 100 albums of the year. Sizzla has since released several dozen albums, including 1998's Kalonji and Royal Son of Ethiopia from 1999. 1999 also saw him receive his second MOBO nomination. Sizzla remains a constant presence in the reggae charts worldwide. Currently, Sizzla has 21 albums that have made it onto the Billboard's Top Reggae Albums music chart, the highest Words of Truth, reaching the peak position of #5.

Sizzla Kalonji has released over 45 solo albums and over fifteen combination albums, crossing different genres of Reggae. He has started his own record company, Kalonji Records; which in a joint venture with Damon Dash Music Group and Koch Records, released the album, The Overstanding, in November 2006. This was his third album released through Kalonji Records; as well as Black History and Life.

Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in contemporary reggae music by recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality and social consciousness, explores common themes, such as Babylon's corrupting influence, the disenfranchisement of ghetto youth, oppression of the black nation and Sizzla's abiding faith in Jah and resistance against perceived agents of oppression.

Sizzla's 2008 effort, Ghetto Youth-ology, is produced by the Firehouse Crew, the same who produced Sizzla's debut, Burning Up.
