Joseph Cotton - Cotton Gold (2019)

Joseph Cotton is one of the most popular Jamaican deejays of the French public. His noteworthy collaborations with Biga Ranx, Manudigital or Atili Bandalero made him known in the country of Raggasonic and Nuttea, but it is in Jamaica that the artist has made a name for himself alongside legendary producers Joe Gibbs or Harry Muddie under the pseudonym Jah Walton. Author of nearly twenty albums since his debut in the mid-1970s, Joseph Cotton returns with a new 100% dancehall album produced by the Parisian label Dig Studio Music. The album is titled “Cotton Gold”.

The album features tracks that range from conscious messages (the anti-gun “Jamaica Cool Runnings”) to the more raw words ( “Lolo”, a French nickname for women’s breasts), from entertainment (Portmore) to darker reality tunes (“Dem Bruk”), lover style (“For Your Eyes Only”) to a very rude-boy attitude (“Girls Anthem”). Powerful collaborations with K’Njah and Steph Pocket respectively are “Still Cotton” and “Hardcore Lovin”. Aged over 60, Joseph Cotton proves that he knows how to express himself on modern riddims with a sharp voice and a precise flow.
