THE CURRENT - Warchild Review

Jal’s sound is reminiscent of a cross between Wyclef Jean and Nas, and the end result of Warchild embodies not only all of the best elements of early Fugees records, but encompasses the groove-laden African poly-rhythms via hand drums and singing straight out of the African deserts and savannahs.
