There comes a time in every mans life when he must make
a decision. Some decisions are difficult than others,
but none the less a decision that must me made. Back in
1995, who would have known ten years later that one "fere
foot buoy" from Hopkins, a name he now refers to
himself, would be controlling the game. He has mastered
all aspects of the punta culture with great precision
and has done it all effortlessly. After releasing
Jam96x, he was met with great criticism, yet he
flourished. In the midst of all his misery, he stayed
"fly"; he never let you see him frown, even smile when
he’s down. They spread vicious rumors, attacked him
verbally, threw shots at him thru song, still he rose
from the ashes. He swore to be consistent. Drop albums
summer after summer. His lyrical content matched my
none, dealing with real issues, feeling his emotion thru
every line for seven albums.
Now -the finale- is here and the orchestrator is the
one, the only Aziatic. With this album, Aziatic is
working overtime. Traveling to New York for the past
year and a half recording his last record. Is Aziatic
leaving the music business all together? This we do not
know, but one thing is for sure, he is anxious to get
out for now. -the finale- is a work of art. It’s Aziatic
like
we’ve never seen before. The musical aspect of the
album is magnificent. With tracks produced by Spicekilla,
Dither, Kidd, and Aziatic, it allows for variety
witnessed only in classic albums. Though Aziatic has
recorded close to thirty songs for the record, he plans
only to put ten songs on the album.
Aziatic has been heard saying that he needs to leave the
game in order to focus more on other Belizean artists.
With so much project going on at Sta-tic, Stamina and
Aziatic has set there sights on other things other than
audio recordings. Though -the finale- is Aziatic’s last
recording effort, by no means is it the last audio to
come out of Sta-tic. Other artist will follow and Sta-tic
will continue to grow.
